Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes and updates for x86:
- Address a swiotlb regression which was caused by the recent DMA
rework and made driver fail because dma_direct_supported() returned
false
- Fix a signedness bug in the APIC ID validation which caused invalid
APIC IDs to be detected as valid thereby bloating the CPU possible
space.
- Fix inconsisten config dependcy/select magic for the MFD_CS5535
driver.
- Fix a corruption of the physical address space bits when encryption
has reduced the address space and late cpuinfo updates overwrite
the reduced bit information with the original value.
- Dominiks syscall rework which consolidates the architecture
specific syscall functions so all syscalls can be wrapped with the
same macros. This allows to switch x86/64 to struct pt_regs based
syscalls. Extend the clearing of user space controlled registers in
the entry patch to the lower registers"
