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

Pull x86 asm changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "There were lots of changes in this development cycle:

   - over 100 separate cleanups, restructuring changes, speedups and
     fixes in the x86 system call, irq, trap and other entry code, part
     of a heroic effort to deobfuscate a decade old spaghetti asm code
     and its C code dependencies (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski)

   - alternatives code fixes and enhancements (Borislav Petkov)

   - simplifications and cleanups to the compat code (Brian Gerst)

   - signal handling fixes and new x86 testcases (Andy Lutomirski)

   - various other fixes and cleanups

  By their nature many of these changes are risky - we tried to test
  them well on many different x86 systems (there are no known
  regressions), and they are split up finely to help bisection - but
  there's still a fair bit of residual risk left so caveat emptor"
