Linus,

   # HEAD: a66734297f78707ce39d756b656bfae861d53f62 perf/x86: Add /sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc=2 to allow rdpmc for all tasks

( I'm sending these changes from Andy Lutomirski separately 
  because they were based on other bits that went upstream 
  in this cycle. )

This series tightens up RDPMC permissions: currently even 
highly sandboxed x86 execution environments (such as 
seccomp) have permission to execute RDPMC, which may leak 
various perf events / PMU state such as timing information 
and other CPU execution details.

This 'all is allowed' RDPMC mode is still preserved as the 
(non-default) /sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc=2 setting. The new 
default is that RDPMC access is only allowed if a perf 
event is mmap-ed (which is needed to correctly interpret 
RDPMC counter values in any case).

As a side effect of these changes CR4 handling is cleaned 
up in the x86 code and a shadow copy of the CR4 value is 
added.

The extra CR4 manipulation adds ~ <50ns to the context 
switch cost between rdpmc-capable and rdpmc-non-capable 
mms.

( Note: shortlog and diffstat created manually due to the 
  somewhat unusual merge base - hopefully the result is 
  still fine. )

 Thanks,

	Ingo

------------------>

Andy Lutomirski (7):
      x86: Clean up cr4 manipulation
      x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4
      x86: Add a comment clarifying LDT context switching
      perf: Add pmu callbacks to track event mapping and unmapping
      perf: Pass the event to arch_perf_update_userpage()
      perf/x86: Only allow rdpmc if a perf_event is mapped
      perf/x86: Add /sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc=2 to allow rdpmc for all tasks

Ingo Molnar (1):
      Merge branch 'x86/asm' into perf/x86, to avoid conflicts with upcoming patches
