Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This contains the following fixes and improvements:
- Avoid dereferencing an unprotected VMA pointer in the fault signal
generation code
- Fix inline asm call constraints for GCC 4.4
- Use existing register variable to retrieve the stack pointer
instead of forcing the compiler to create another indirect access
which results in excessive extra 'mov %rsp, %<dst>' instructions
- Disable branch profiling for the memory encryption code to prevent
an early boot crash
- Fix a sparse warning caused by casting the __user annotation in
__get_user_asm_u64() away
- Fix an off by one error in the loop termination of the error patch
in the x86 sysfs init code
- Add missing CPU IDs to various Intel specific drivers to enable the
functionality on recent hardware
- More (init) constification in the numachip code"

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
