Linus Torvalds 8ff468c29e Merge branch 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 FPU state handling updates from Borislav Petkov:
 "This contains work started by Rik van Riel and brought to fruition by
  Sebastian Andrzej Siewior with the main goal to optimize when to load
  FPU registers: only when returning to userspace and not on every
  context switch (while the task remains in the kernel).

  In addition, this optimization makes kernel_fpu_begin() cheaper by
  requiring registers saving only on the first invocation and skipping
  that in following ones.

  What is more, this series cleans up and streamlines many aspects of
  the already complex FPU code, hopefully making it more palatable for
  future improvements and simplifications.

  Finally, there's a __user annotations fix from Jann Horn"
