Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86/asm changes from Ingo Molnar: "The one change that stands out is the alternatives patching change that prevents us from ever patching back instructions from SMP to UP: this simplifies things and speeds up CPU hotplug. Other than that it's smaller fixes, cleanups and improvements." * 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86: Unspaghettize do_trap() x86_64: Work around old GAS bug x86: Use REP BSF unconditionally x86: Prefer TZCNT over BFS x86/64: Adjust types of temporaries used by ffs()/fls()/fls64() x86: Drop unnecessary kernel_eflags variable on 64-bit x86/smp: Don't ever patch back to UP if we unplug cpus
