Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86/pti update from Thomas Gleixner:
"Just a single change from the anti-performance departement:
- Add a new PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC option which allows to apply the
speculation protections on a process without inheriting the state
on exec.
This remedies a situation where a Java-launcher has speculation
protections enabled because that's the default for JVMs which
causes the launched regular harmless processes to inherit the
protection state which results in unintended performance
degradation"
