    Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · ba33ea81
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "This is another big update. Main changes are:
    
       - lots of x86 system call (and other traps/exceptions) entry code
         enhancements.  In particular the complex parts of the 64-bit entry
         code have been migrated to C code as well, and a number of dusty
         corners have been refreshed.  (Andy Lutomirski)
    
       - vDSO special mapping robustification and general cleanups (Andy
         Lutomirski)
    
       - cpufeature refactoring, cleanups and speedups (Borislav Petkov)
    
       - lots of other changes ..."
