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" * 'x86-cpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (41 commits) x86/fsgsbase: Revert FSGSBASE support selftests/x86/fsgsbase: Fix some test case bugs x86/entry/64: Fix and clean up paranoid_exit x86/entry/64: Don't compile ignore_sysret if 32-bit emulation is enabled selftests/x86: Test SYSCALL and SYSENTER manually with TF set x86/mtrr: Skip cache flushes on CPUs with cache self-snooping x86/cpu/intel: Clear cache self-snoop capability in CPUs with known errata Documentation/ABI: Document umwait control sysfs interfaces x86/umwait: Add sysfs interface to control umwait maximum time x86/umwait: Add sysfs interface to control umwait C0.2 state x86/umwait: Initialize umwait control values x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate user wait instructions x86/cpu: Disable frequency requests via aperfmperf IPI for nohz_full CPUs x86/acpi/cstate: Add Zhaoxin processors support for cache flush policy in C3 ACPI, x86: Add Zhaoxin processors support for NONSTOP TSC x86/cpu: Create Zhaoxin processors architecture support file x86/cpu: Split Tremont based Atoms from the rest Documentation/x86/64: Add documentation for GS/FS addressing mode x86/elf: Enumerate kernel FSGSBASE capability in AT_HWCAP2 x86/cpu: Enable FSGSBASE on 64bit by default and add a chicken bit ...
