Merge tag 'x86_cache_for_v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 cache resource control updates from Borislav Petkov:
- add logic to correct MBM total and local values fixing errata SKX99
and BDF102 (Fenghua Yu)
- cleanups
* tag 'x86_cache_for_v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
