    Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
     "A collection of assorted fixes:
    
       - Fix for the pinned cr0/4 fallout which escaped all testing efforts
         because the kvm-intel module was never loaded when the kernel was
         compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n. The cr0/4 accessors are moved out
         of line and static key is now solely used in the core code and
         therefore can stay in the RO after init section. So the kvm-intel
         and other modules do not longer reference the (read only) static
         key which the module loader tried to update.
    
       - Prevent an infinite loop in arch_stack_walk_user() by breaking out
         of the loop once the return address is detected to be 0.
    
       - Prevent the int3_emulate_call() selftest from corrupting the stack
         when KASAN is enabled. KASASN clobbers more registers than covered
         by the emulated call implementation. Convert the int3_magic()
         selftest to a ASM function so the compiler cannot KASANify it.
    
       - Unbreak the build with old GCC versions and with the Gold linker by
         reverting the 'Move of _etext to the actual end of .text'. In both
         cases the build fails with 'Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S
         relocation: _etext'
    
       - Initialize the context lock for init_mm, which was never an issue
         until the alternatives code started to use a temporary mm for
         patching.
    
       - Fix a build warning vs. the LOWMEM_PAGES constant where clang
         complains rightfully about a signed integer overflow in the shift
         operation by converting the operand to an ULL.
    
       - Adjust the misnamed ENDPROC() of common_spurious in the 32bit entry
         code"
