Linus Torvalds 685d982112 Core x86 changes for v6.9:

- The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code,
   to support the 'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature,
   by Uros Bizjak:
 
    - This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative
      memory via variables declared with such attributes,
      which allows the compiler to better optimize those accesses
      than the previous inline assembly code.
 
    - The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations
      for various percpu access methods, plus a number of
      cleanups of %gs accesses in assembly code.
 
    - These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for
      the last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.
 
 - Fix/clean up __switch_to()'s broken but accidentally
   working handling of FPU switching - which also generates
   better code.
 
 - Propagate more RIP-relative addressing in assembly code,
   to generate slightly better code.
 
 - Rework the CPU mitigations Kconfig space to be less idiosyncratic,
   to make it easier for distros to follow & maintain these options.
 
 - Rework the x86 idle code to cure RCU violations and
   to clean up the logic.
 
 - Clean up the vDSO Makefile logic.
 
 - Misc cleanups and fixes.
 
 [ Please note that there's a higher number of merge commits in
   this branch (three) than is usual in x86 topic trees. This happened
   due to the long testing lifecycle of the percpu changes that
   involved 3 merge windows, which generated a longer history
   and various interactions with other core x86 changes that we
   felt better about to carry in a single branch. ]
