Pull misc x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:
"The main part of this branch is the ongoing fight against windmills in
an attempt to have userspace tools not poke at naked MSRs.
This round deals with MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS and removes direct
poking into it by our in-tree tools in favor of the proper
"energy_perf_bias" sysfs interface which we already have.
In addition, the msr.ko write filtering's error message points to a
new summary page which contains the info we collected from helpful
reporters about which userspace tools write MSRs:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/about
along with the current status of their conversion.
The rest is the usual small fixes and improvements"

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.
