      Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · ed58d66f
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull x86/pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "Yet another pile of melted spectrum related updates:
      
         - Drop native vsyscall support finally as it causes more trouble than
           benefit.
      
         - Make microcode loading more robust. There were a few issues
           especially related to late loading which are now surfacing because
           late loading of the IB* microcodes addressing spectre issues has
           become more widely used.
      
         - Simplify and robustify the syscall handling in the entry code
      
         - Prevent kprobes on the entry trampoline code which lead to kernel
           crashes when the probe hits before CR3 is updated
      
         - Don't check microcode versions when running on hypervisors as they
           are considered as lying anyway.
      
         - Fix the 32bit objtool build and a coment typo"
