      Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A set of fixes for x86:
      
         - Fix the bogus detection of 32bit user mode for uretprobes which
           caused corruption of the user return address resulting in
           application crashes. In the uprobes handler in_ia32_syscall() is
           obviously always returning false on a 64bit kernel. Use
           user_64bit_mode() instead which works correctly.
      
         - Prevent large page splitting when ftrace flips RW/RO on the kernel
           text which caused iTLB performance issues. Ftrace wants to be
           converted to text_poke() which avoids the problem, but for now
           allow large page preservation in the static protections check when
           the change request spawns a full large page.
      
         - Prevent arch_dynirq_lower_bound() from returning 0 when the IOAPIC
           is configured via device tree. In the device tree case the GSI 1:1
           mapping is meaningless therefore the lower bound which protects the
           GSI range on ACPI machines is irrelevant. Return the lower bound
           which the core hands to the function instead of blindly returning 0
           which causes the core to allocate the invalid virtual interupt
           number 0 which in turn prevents all drivers from allocating and
           requesting an interrupt.
      
         - Remove the bogus initialization of LDR and DFR in the 32bit bigsmp
           APIC driver. That uses physical destination mode where LDR/DFR are
           ignored, but the initialization and the missing clear of LDR caused
           the APIC to be left in a inconsistent state on kexec/reboot.
      
         - Clear LDR when clearing the APIC registers so the APIC is in a well
           defined state.
      
         - Initialize variables proper in the find_trampoline_placement()
           code.
      
         - Silence GCC( build warning for the real mode part of the build"

      Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "Two fixes for perf x86 hardware implementations:
      
         - Restrict the period on Nehalem machines to prevent perf from
           hogging the CPU
      
         - Prevent the AMD IBS driver from overwriting the hardwre controlled
           and pre-seeded reserved bits (0-6) in the count register which
           caused a sample bias for dispatched micro-ops"
