    Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The main changes in this development cycle were:
    
       - a large number of call stack dumping/printing improvements: higher
         robustness, better cross-context dumping, improved output, etc.
         (Josh Poimboeuf)
    
       - vDSO getcpu() performance improvement for future Intel CPUs with
         the RDPID instruction (Andy Lutomirski)
    
       - add two new Intel AVX512 features and the CPUID support
         infrastructure for it: AVX512IFMA and AVX512VBMI. (Gayatri Kammela,
         He Chen)
    
       - more copy-user unification (Borislav Petkov)
    
       - entry code assembly macro simplifications (Alexander Kuleshov)
    
       - vDSO C/R support improvements (Dmitry Safonov)
    
       - misc fixes and cleanups (Borislav Petkov, Paul Bolle)"
