Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h: Fix build bug - gcc-4.0.2 doesn't understand __builtin_object_size
x86/alternatives: No need for alternatives-asm.h to re-invent stuff already in asm.h
x86/alternatives: Check replacementlen <= instrlen at build time
x86, 64-bit: Set data segments to null after switching to 64-bit mode
x86: Clean up the loadsegment() macro
x86: Optimize loadsegment()
x86: Add missing might_fault() checks to copy_{to,from}_user()
x86-64: __copy_from_user_inatomic() adjustments
x86: Remove unused thread_return label from switch_to()
x86, 64-bit: Fix bstep_iret jump
x86: Don't use the strict copy checks when branch profiling is in use
x86, 64-bit: Move K8 B step iret fixup to fault entry asm
x86: Generate cmpxchg build failures
x86: Add a Kconfig option to turn the copy_from_user warnings into errors
x86: Turn the copy_from_user check into an (optional) compile time warning
x86: Use __builtin_memset and __builtin_memcpy for memset/memcpy
x86: Use __builtin_object_size() to validate the buffer size for copy_from_user()
