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"

We were asserting that we were all the way in CONTEXT_KERNEL
when exception handlers were called.  While having this be true
is, I think, a nice goal (or maybe a variant in which we assert
that we're in CONTEXT_KERNEL or some new IRQ context), we're not
quite there.

In particular, if an IRQ interrupts the SYSCALL prologue and the
IRQ handler in turn causes an exception, the exception entry
will be called in RCU IRQ mode but with CONTEXT_USER.

This is okay (nothing goes wrong), but until we fix up the
SYSCALL prologue, we need to avoid warning.

vm86.h was being implicitly included in alot of places via
processor.h, which in turn got it from math_emu.h.  Break that
chain and explicitly include vm86.h in all files that need it.
Also remove unused vm86 field from math_emu_info.

This commit renames rcu_lockdep_assert() to RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() for
consistency with the WARN() series of macros.  This also requires
inverting the sense of the conditional, which this commit also does.

<content type='text'>
On 64-bit kernels, we don't need it any more: we handle context
tracking directly on entry from user mode and exit to user mode.

On 32-bit kernels, we don't support context tracking at all, so
these callbacks had no effect.

Note: this doesn't change do_page_fault().  Before we do that,
we need to make sure that there is no code that can page fault
from kernel mode with CONTEXT_USER.  The 32-bit fast system call
stack argument code is the only offender I'm aware of right now.

<title>x86/traps, context_tracking: Assert that we're in CONTEXT_KERNEL in exception entries</title>

Other than the super-atomic exception entries, all exception
entries are supposed to switch our context tracking state to
CONTEXT_KERNEL. Assert that they do.  These assertions appear
trivial at this point, as exception_enter() is the function
responsible for switching context, but I'm planning on reworking
x86's exception context tracking, and these assertions will help
make sure that all of this code keeps working.

<id>urn:sha1:d70b3ef54ceaf1c7c92209f5a662a670d04cbed9</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
  in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
  so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
  collected into the 'x86/core' topic.

  The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
  bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
  but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
  dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
  end.

  The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
  have fewer dependencies).

  The main changes in this cycle were:

   * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
     Gleixner)

     - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
       interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
       domains:

          [IOAPIC domain]   -----
                                 |
          [MSI domain]      --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
                                 |   (optional)          |
          [HPET MSI domain] -----                        |
                                                         |
          [DMAR domain]     -----------------------------
                                                         |
          [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------

       This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
       the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
       can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
       separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
       constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
       and the vector management.

     - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
       injection into guests (Feng Wu)

   * x86/asm changes:

     - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
       is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
       code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
       Brian Gerst)

     - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
       arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)

     - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
       Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
       they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
       not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)

     - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/mm changes:

     - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
       preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
       in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
       Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)

     - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
       Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
       important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)

   * x86/ras changes:

     - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)

       This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
       poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
       which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
       poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
       form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
       take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
       far as possible.

     - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
       CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
       wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)

     - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/platform changes:

     - Intel Atom SoC updates

  ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
  shortlog and the Git log for details"

This is the first in a series of MPX tracing patches.
I've found these extremely useful in the process of
debugging applications and the kernel code itself.

This exception hooks in to the bounds (#BR) exception
very early and allows capturing the key registers which
would influence how the exception is handled.

Note that bndcfgu/bndstatus are technically still
64-bit registers even in 32-bit mode.

The MPX code can only work on the current task.  You can not,
for instance, enable MPX management in another process or
thread. You can also not handle a fault for another process or
thread.

Despite this, we pass a task_struct around prolifically.  This
patch removes all of the task struct passing for code paths
where the code can not deal with another task (which turns out
to be all of them).

This has no functional changes.  It's just a cleanup.

The MPX registers (bndcsr/bndcfgu/bndstatus) are not directly
accessible via normal instructions.  They essentially act as
if they were floating point registers and are saved/restored
along with those registers.

There are two main paths in the MPX code where we care about
the contents of these registers:

	1. #BR (bounds) faults
	2. the prctl() code where we are setting MPX up

Both of those paths _might_ be called without the FPU having
been used.  That means that 'tsk-&gt;thread.fpu.state' might
never be allocated.

Also, fpu_save_init() is not preempt-safe.  It was a bug to
call it without disabling preemption.  The new
get_xsave_addr() calls unlazy_fpu() instead and properly
disables preemption.
