    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull x86/asmlinkage changes from Ingo Molnar:
     "As a preparation for Andi Kleen's LTO patchset (link time
      optimizations using GCC's -flto which build time optimization has
      steadily increased in quality over the past few years and might
      eventually be usable for the kernel too) this tree includes a handful
      of preparatory patches that make function calling convention
      annotations consistent again:
    
       - Mark every function without arguments (or 64bit only) that is used
         by assembly code with asmlinkage()
    
       - Mark every function with parameters or variables that is used by
         assembly code as __visible.
    
      For the vanilla kernel this has documentation, consistency and
      debuggability advantages, for the time being"
