Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar: "Two families of fixes: - Fix an FPU context related boot crash on newer x86 hardware with larger context sizes than what most people test. To fix this without ugly kludges or extensive reverts we had to touch core task allocator, to allow x86 to determine the task size dynamically, at boot time. I've tested it on a number of x86 platforms, and I cross-built it to a handful of architectures: (warns) (warns) testing x86-64: -git: pass ( 0), -tip: pass ( 0) testing x86-32: -git: pass ( 0), -tip: pass ( 0) testing arm: -git: pass ( 1359), -tip: pass ( 1359) testing cris: -git: pass ( 1031), -tip: pass ( 1031) testing m32r: -git: pass ( 1135), -tip: pass ( 1135) testing m68k: -git: pass ( 1471), -tip: pass ( 1471) testing mips: -git: pass ( 1162), -tip: pass ( 1162) testing mn10300: -git: pass ( 1058), -tip: pass ( 1058) testing parisc: -git: pass ( 1846), -tip: pass ( 1846) testing sparc: -git: pass ( 1185), -tip: pass ( 1185) ... so I hope the cross-arch impact 'none', as intended. (by Dave Hansen) - Fix various NMI handling related bugs unearthed by the big asm code rewrite and generally make the NMI code more robust and more maintainable while at it. These changes are a bit late in the cycle, I hope they are still acceptable.

- * In x86_64 things are a bit more difficult. This has the same problem

- * will be set to the same fixed address as the breakpoint that was
- * interrupted, causing that stack to be corrupted. To handle this case,
- * check if the stack that was interrupted is the debug stack, and if
- * so, change the IDT so that new breakpoints will use the current stack
- * and not switch to the fixed address. On return of the NMI, switch back
