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:
"The biggest changes in this cycle were:
- Revamp, simplify (and in some cases fix) Time Stamp Counter (TSC)
primitives. (Andy Lutomirski)
- Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C.
(Andy Lutomirski)
- vm86 mode cleanups and fixes. (Brian Gerst)
- 32-bit compat code cleanups. (Brian Gerst)
The amount of simplification in low level assembly code is already
palpable:
arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S | 130 +----
arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S | 197 ++-----
but more simplifications are planned.
There's also the usual laudry mix of low level changes - see the
changelog for details"
