Linus Torvalds f4e5b30d80 Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 updates and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Fix the (late) fallout from the vector management rework causing
   hlist corruption and irq descriptor reference leaks caused by a
   missing sanity check.

   The straight forward fix triggered another long standing issue to
   surface. The pre rework code hid the issue due to being way slower,
   but now the chance that user space sees an EBUSY error return when
   updating irq affinities is way higher, though quite a bunch of
   userspace tools do not handle it properly despite the fact that EBUSY
   could be returned for at least 10 years.

   It turned out that the EBUSY return can be avoided completely by
   utilizing the existing delayed affinity update mechanism for irq
   remapped scenarios as well. That's a bit more error handling in the
   kernel, but avoids fruitless fingerpointing discussions with tool
   developers.

 - Decouple PHYSICAL_MASK from AMD SME as its going to be required for
   the upcoming Intel memory encryption support as well.

 - Handle legacy device ACPI detection properly for newer platforms

 - Fix the wrong argument ordering in the vector allocation tracepoint

 - Simplify the IDT setup code for the APIC=n case

 - Use the proper string helpers in the MTRR code

 - Remove a stale unused VDSO source file

 - Convert the microcode update lock to a raw spinlock as its used in
   atomic context.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
