Merge branch 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86/fpu update from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest change is the addition of the non-lazy (eager) FPU saving support model and enabling it on CPUs with optimized xsaveopt/xrstor FPU state saving instructions. There are also various Sparse fixes" Fix up trivial add-add conflict in arch/x86/kernel/traps.c * 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, kvm: fix kvm's usage of kernel_fpu_begin/end() x86, fpu: remove cpu_has_xmm check in the fx_finit() x86, fpu: make eagerfpu= boot param tri-state x86, fpu: enable eagerfpu by default for xsaveopt x86, fpu: decouple non-lazy/eager fpu restore from xsave x86, fpu: use non-lazy fpu restore for processors supporting xsave lguest, x86: handle guest TS bit for lazy/non-lazy fpu host models x86, fpu: always use kernel_fpu_begin/end() for in-kernel FPU usage x86, kvm: use kernel_fpu_begin/end() in kvm_load/put_guest_fpu() x86, fpu: remove unnecessary user_fpu_end() in save_xstate_sig() x86, fpu: drop_fpu() before restoring new state from sigframe x86, fpu: Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels x86, fpu: Consolidate inline asm routines for saving/restoring fpu state x86, signal: Cleanup ifdefs and is_ia32, is_x32
