    Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 70ad6368
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
     "The biggest part is a series of reverts for the macro based GCC
      inlining workarounds. It caused regressions in distro build and other
      kernel tooling environments, and the GCC project was very receptive to
      fixing the underlying inliner weaknesses - so as time ran out we
      decided to do a reasonably straightforward revert of the patches. The
      plan is to rely on the 'asm inline' GCC 9 feature, which might be
      backported to GCC 8 and could thus become reasonably widely available
      on modern distros.
    
      Other than those reverts, there's misc fixes from all around the
      place.
    
      I wish our final x86 pull request for v4.20 was smaller..."
