Merge branch 'x86-cpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for x86 CPU features:
- Support for UMWAIT/UMONITOR, which allows to use MWAIT and MONITOR
instructions in user space to save power e.g. in HPC workloads
which spin wait on synchronization points.
The maximum time a MWAIT can halt in userspace is controlled by the
kernel and can be adjusted by the sysadmin.
- Speed up the MTRR handling code on CPUs which support cache
self-snooping correctly.
On those CPUs the wbinvd() invocations can be omitted which speeds
up the MTRR setup by a factor of 50.
- Support for the new x86 vendor Zhaoxin who develops processors
based on the VIA Centaur technology.
- Prevent 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' from affecting isolated NOHZ_FULL CPUs
by sending IPIs to retrieve the CPU frequency and use the cached
values instead.
- The addition and late revert of the FSGSBASE support. The revert
was required as it turned out that the code still has hard to
diagnose issues. Yet another engineering trainwreck...
- Small fixes, cleanups, improvements and the usual new Intel CPU
family/model addons"
