Merge branch 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 mm updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Lots of changes in this cycle:
- Lots of CPA (change page attribute) optimizations and related
cleanups (Thomas Gleixner, Peter Zijstra)
- Make lazy TLB mode even lazier (Rik van Riel)
- Fault handler cleanups and improvements (Dave Hansen)
- kdump, vmcore: Enable kdumping encrypted memory with AMD SME
enabled (Lianbo Jiang)
- Clean up VM layout documentation (Baoquan He, Ingo Molnar)
- ... plus misc other fixes and enhancements"
