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

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Cross-arch changes to move the linker sections for NOTES and
     EXCEPTION_TABLE into the RO_DATA area, where they belong on most
     architectures. (Kees Cook)

   - Switch the x86 linker fill byte from x90 (NOP) to 0xcc (INT3), to
     trap jumps into the middle of those padding areas instead of
     sliding execution. (Kees Cook)

   - A thorough cleanup of symbol definitions within x86 assembler code.
     The rather randomly named macros got streamlined around a
     (hopefully) straightforward naming scheme:

        SYM_START(name, linkage, align...)
        SYM_END(name, sym_type)

        SYM_FUNC_START(name)
        SYM_FUNC_END(name)

        SYM_CODE_START(name)
        SYM_CODE_END(name)

        SYM_DATA_START(name)
        SYM_DATA_END(name)

     etc - with about three times of these basic primitives with some
     label, local symbol or attribute variant, expressed via postfixes.

     No change in functionality intended. (Jiri Slaby)

   - Misc other changes, cleanups and smaller fixes"
