Merge tag 'pr-20150114-x86-entry' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/luto/linux into x86/asm

Pull x86/entry enhancements from Andy Lutomirski:

" This is my accumulated x86 entry work, part 1, for 3.20.  The meat
  of this is an IST rework.  When an IST exception interrupts user
  space, we will handle it on the per-thread kernel stack instead of
  on the IST stack.  This sounds messy, but it actually simplifies the
  IST entry/exit code, because it eliminates some ugly games we used
  to play in order to handle rescheduling, signal delivery, etc on the
  way out of an IST exception.

  The IST rework introduces proper context tracking to IST exception
  handlers.  I haven't seen any bug reports, but the old code could
  have incorrectly treated an IST exception handler as an RCU extended
  quiescent state.

  The memory failure change (included in this pull request with
  Borislav and Tony's permission) eliminates a bunch of code that
  is no longer needed now that user memory failure handlers are
  called in process context.

  Finally, this includes a few on Denys' uncontroversial and Obviously
  Correct (tm) cleanups.

  The IST and memory failure changes have been in -next for a while.

"

This tree semantically depends on and is based on the following RCU commit:

  734d16801349 ("rcu: Make rcu_nmi_enter() handle nesting")

... and for that reason won't be pushed upstream before the RCU bits hit Linus's tree.
