    Pull x86 page table isolation fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
     "A couple of urgent fixes for PTI:
    
       - Fix a PTE mismatch between user and kernel visible mapping of the
         cpu entry area (differs vs. the GLB bit) and causes a TLB mismatch
         MCE on older AMD K8 machines
    
       - Fix the misplaced CR3 switch in the SYSCALL compat entry code which
         causes access to unmapped kernel memory resulting in double faults.
    
       - Fix the section mismatch of the cpu_tss_rw percpu storage caused by
         using a different mechanism for declaration and definition.
    
       - Two fixes for dumpstack which help to decode entry stack issues
         better
    
       - Enable PTI by default in Kconfig. We should have done that earlier,
         but it slipped through the cracks.
    
       - Exclude AMD from the PTI enforcement. Not necessarily a fix, but if
         AMD is so confident that they are not affected, then we should not
         burden users with the overhead"
    
    * 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
      x86/process: Define cpu_tss_rw in same section as declaration
      x86/pti: Switch to kernel CR3 at early in entry_SYSCALL_compat()
      x86/dumpstack: Print registers for first stack frame
      x86/dumpstack: Fix partial register dumps
      x86/pti: Make sure the user/kernel PTEs match
      x86/cpu, x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on AMD processors
      x86/pti: Enable PTI by default
