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: "Most of the changes relate to Peter Zijlstra's cleanup of ptregs handling, in particular the i386 part is now much simplified and standardized - no more partial ptregs stack frames via the esp/ss oddity. This simplifies ftrace, kprobes, the unwinder, ptrace, kdump and kgdb. There's also a CR4 hardening enhancements by Kees Cook, to make the generic platform functions such as native_write_cr4() less useful as ROP gadgets that disable SMEP/SMAP. Also protect the WP bit of CR0 against similar attacks. The rest is smaller cleanups/fixes" * 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/alternatives: Add int3_emulate_call() selftest x86/stackframe/32: Allow int3_emulate_push() x86/stackframe/32: Provide consistent pt_regs x86/stackframe, x86/ftrace: Add pt_regs frame annotations x86/stackframe, x86/kprobes: Fix frame pointer annotations x86/stackframe: Move ENCODE_FRAME_POINTER to asm/frame.h x86/entry/32: Clean up return from interrupt preemption path x86/asm: Pin sensitive CR0 bits x86/asm: Pin sensitive CR4 bits Documentation/x86: Fix path to entry_32.S x86/asm: Remove unused TASK_TI_flags from asm-offsets.c
