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
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
