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 few fixes for x86: - Fix a boot regression caused by the recent bootparam sanitizing change, which escaped the attention of all people who reviewed that code. - Address a boot problem on machines with broken E820 tables caused by an underflow which ended up placing the trampoline start at physical address 0. - Handle machines which do not advertise a legacy timer of any form, but need calibration of the local APIC timer gracefully by making the calibration routine independent from the tick interrupt. Marked for stable as well as there seems to be quite some new laptops rolled out which expose this. - Clear the RDRAND CPUID bit on AMD family 15h and 16h CPUs which are affected by broken firmware which does not initialize RDRAND correctly after resume. Add a command line parameter to override this for machine which either do not use suspend/resume or have a fixed BIOS. Unfortunately there is no way to detect this on boot, so the only safe decision is to turn it off by default. - Prevent RFLAGS from being clobbers in CALL_NOSPEC on 32bit which caused fast KVM instruction emulation to break. - Explain the Intel CPU model naming convention so that the repeating discussions come to an end" * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/retpoline: Don't clobber RFLAGS during CALL_NOSPEC on i386 x86/boot: Fix boot regression caused by bootparam sanitizing x86/CPU/AMD: Clear RDRAND CPUID bit on AMD family 15h/16h x86/boot/compressed/64: Fix boot on machines with broken E820 table x86/apic: Handle missing global clockevent gracefully x86/cpu: Explain Intel model naming convention
