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

Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
 "More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization
  (LTO).  Most of these changes is to make sure symbols accessed from
  assembly code are properly marked as visible so the linker doesn't
  remove them.

  My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not
  upstream in binutils, but are on the way there.  This patchset should
  conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually
  enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up
  with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not
  necessarily in this merge window"
