Merge branch 'x86-cpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 CPU feature updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for x86 CPU features:

   - Support for UMWAIT/UMONITOR, which allows to use MWAIT and MONITOR
     instructions in user space to save power e.g. in HPC workloads
     which spin wait on synchronization points.

     The maximum time a MWAIT can halt in userspace is controlled by the
     kernel and can be adjusted by the sysadmin.

   - Speed up the MTRR handling code on CPUs which support cache
     self-snooping correctly.

     On those CPUs the wbinvd() invocations can be omitted which speeds
     up the MTRR setup by a factor of 50.

   - Support for the new x86 vendor Zhaoxin who develops processors
     based on the VIA Centaur technology.

   - Prevent 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' from affecting isolated NOHZ_FULL CPUs
     by sending IPIs to retrieve the CPU frequency and use the cached
     values instead.

   - The addition and late revert of the FSGSBASE support. The revert
     was required as it turned out that the code still has hard to
     diagnose issues. Yet another engineering trainwreck...

   - Small fixes, cleanups, improvements and the usual new Intel CPU
     family/model addons"
