Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this development cycle were:

   - a large number of call stack dumping/printing improvements: higher
     robustness, better cross-context dumping, improved output, etc.
     (Josh Poimboeuf)

   - vDSO getcpu() performance improvement for future Intel CPUs with
     the RDPID instruction (Andy Lutomirski)

   - add two new Intel AVX512 features and the CPUID support
     infrastructure for it: AVX512IFMA and AVX512VBMI. (Gayatri Kammela,
     He Chen)

   - more copy-user unification (Borislav Petkov)

   - entry code assembly macro simplifications (Alexander Kuleshov)

   - vDSO C/R support improvements (Dmitry Safonov)

   - misc fixes and cleanups (Borislav Petkov, Paul Bolle)"
