      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"

       "Two small fixes for RAS/MCE:
      
         - Serialize sysfs changes to avoid concurrent modificaiton of
           underlying data
      
         - Add microcode revision to Machine Check records. This should have
           been there forever, but now with the broken microcode versions in
           the wild it has become important"

       "Another set of perf updates:
      
         - Fix a Skylake Uncore event format declaration
      
         - Prevent perf pipe mode from crahsing which was caused by a missing
           buffer allocation
      
         - Make the perf top popup message which tells the user that it uses
           fallback mode on older kernels a debug message.
      
         - Make perf context rescheduling work correcctly
      
         - Robustify the jump error drawing in perf browser mode so it does
           not try to create references to NULL initialized offset entries
      
         - Make trigger_on() robust so it does not enable the trigger before
           everything is set up correctly to handle it
      
         - Make perf auxtrace respect the --no-itrace option so it does not
           try to queue AUX data for decoding.
      
         - Prevent having different number of field separators in CVS output
           lines when a counter is not supported.
      
         - Make the perf kallsyms man page usage behave like it does for all
           other perf commands.
      
         - Synchronize the kernel headers"
