Merge branch 'WIP.x86-pti.entry-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 syscall entry code changes for PTI from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes here are Andy Lutomirski's changes to switch the x86-64 entry code to use the 'per CPU entry trampoline stack'. This, besides helping fix KASLR leaks (the pending Page Table Isolation (PTI) work), also robustifies the x86 entry code" * 'WIP.x86-pti.entry-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (26 commits) x86/cpufeatures: Make CPU bugs sticky x86/paravirt: Provide a way to check for hypervisors x86/paravirt: Dont patch flush_tlb_single x86/entry/64: Make cpu_entry_area.tss read-only x86/entry: Clean up the SYSENTER_stack code x86/entry/64: Remove the SYSENTER stack canary x86/entry/64: Move the IST stacks into struct cpu_entry_area x86/entry/64: Create a per-CPU SYSCALL entry trampoline x86/entry/64: Return to userspace from the trampoline stack x86/entry/64: Use a per-CPU trampoline stack for IDT entries x86/espfix/64: Stop assuming that pt_regs is on the entry stack x86/entry/64: Separate cpu_current_top_of_stack from TSS.sp0 x86/entry: Remap the TSS into the CPU entry area x86/entry: Move SYSENTER_stack to the beginning of struct tss_struct x86/dumpstack: Handle stack overflow on all stacks x86/entry: Fix assumptions that the HW TSS is at the beginning of cpu_tss x86/kasan/64: Teach KASAN about the cpu_entry_area x86/mm/fixmap: Generalize the GDT fixmap mechanism, introduce struct cpu_entry_area x86/entry/gdt: Put per-CPU GDT remaps in ascending order x86/dumpstack: Add get_stack_info() support for the SYSENTER stack ...
