Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle were: - Cross-arch changes to move the linker sections for NOTES and EXCEPTION_TABLE into the RO_DATA area, where they belong on most architectures. (Kees Cook) - Switch the x86 linker fill byte from x90 (NOP) to 0xcc (INT3), to trap jumps into the middle of those padding areas instead of sliding execution. (Kees Cook) - A thorough cleanup of symbol definitions within x86 assembler code. The rather randomly named macros got streamlined around a (hopefully) straightforward naming scheme: SYM_START(name, linkage, align...) SYM_END(name, sym_type) SYM_FUNC_START(name) SYM_FUNC_END(name) SYM_CODE_START(name) SYM_CODE_END(name) SYM_DATA_START(name) SYM_DATA_END(name) etc - with about three times of these basic primitives with some label, local symbol or attribute variant, expressed via postfixes. No change in functionality intended. (Jiri Slaby) - Misc other changes, cleanups and smaller fixes" * 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (67 commits) x86/entry/64: Remove pointless jump in paranoid_exit x86/entry/32: Remove unused resume_userspace label x86/build/vdso: Remove meaningless CFLAGS_REMOVE_*.o m68k: Convert missed RODATA to RO_DATA x86/vmlinux: Use INT3 instead of NOP for linker fill bytes x86/mm: Report actual image regions in /proc/iomem x86/mm: Report which part of kernel image is freed x86/mm: Remove redundant address-of operators on addresses xtensa: Move EXCEPTION_TABLE to RO_DATA segment powerpc: Move EXCEPTION_TABLE to RO_DATA segment parisc: Move EXCEPTION_TABLE to RO_DATA segment microblaze: Move EXCEPTION_TABLE to RO_DATA segment ia64: Move EXCEPTION_TABLE to RO_DATA segment h8300: Move EXCEPTION_TABLE to RO_DATA segment c6x: Move EXCEPTION_TABLE to RO_DATA segment arm64: Move EXCEPTION_TABLE to RO_DATA segment alpha: Move EXCEPTION_TABLE to RO_DATA segment x86/vmlinux: Move EXCEPTION_TABLE to RO_DATA segment x86/vmlinux: Actually use _etext for the end of the text segment vmlinux.lds.h: Allow EXCEPTION_TABLE to live in RO_DATA ...
