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: "Two changes: - Remove (some) remnants of the vDSO's fake section table mechanism that were left behind when the vDSO build process reverted to using "objdump -S" to strip the userspace image. - Remove hardcoded POPCNT mnemonics now that the minimum binutils version supports the symbolic form" * 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/vdso: Remove a stale/misleading comment from the linker script x86/vdso: Remove obsolete "fake section table" reservation x86: Use POPCNT mnemonics in arch_hweight.h
