Pull x86 cpu updates from Borislav Petkov: - Start checking a CPUID bit on AMD Zen3 which states that the CPU clears the segment base when a null selector is written. Do the explicit detection on older CPUs, zen2 and hygon specifically, which have the functionality but do not advertize the CPUID bit. Factor in the presence of a hypervisor underneath the kernel and avoid doing the explicit check there which the HV might've decided to not advertize for migration safety reasons, or similar. - Add support for a new X86 CPU vendor: VORTEX. Needed for whitelisting those CPUs in the hardware vulnerabilities detection - Force the compiler to use rIP-relative addressing in the fallback path of static_cpu_has(), in order to avoid unnecessary register pressure * tag 'x86_cpu_for_v5.16_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/cpu: Fix migration safety with X86_BUG_NULL_SEL x86/CPU: Add support for Vortex CPUs x86/umip: Downgrade warning messages to debug loglevel x86/asm: Avoid adding register pressure for the init case in static_cpu_has() x86/asm: Add _ASM_RIP() macro for x86-64 (%rip) suffix
