Merge tag 'x86_build_for_v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 build updates from Borislav Petkov: "Two x86 build fixes: - Fix the vmlinux size check on 64-bit along with adding useful clarifications on the topic (Arvind Sankar) - Remove -m16 workaround now that the GCC versions that need it are unsupported (Nick Desaulniers)" * tag 'x86_build_for_v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/build: Remove -m16 workaround for unsupported versions of GCC x86/build: Fix vmlinux size check on 64-bit
