Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
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" * 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/kprobes: Fix kernel crash when probing .entry_trampoline code x86/pti: Fix a comment typo x86/microcode: Synchronize late microcode loading x86/microcode: Request microcode on the BSP x86/microcode/intel: Look into the patch cache first x86/microcode: Do not upload microcode if CPUs are offline x86/microcode/intel: Writeback and invalidate caches before updating microcode x86/microcode/intel: Check microcode revision before updating sibling threads x86/microcode: Get rid of struct apply_microcode_ctx x86/spectre_v2: Don't check microcode versions when running under hypervisors x86/vsyscall/64: Drop "native" vsyscalls x86/entry/64/compat: Save one instruction in entry_INT80_compat() x86/entry: Do not special-case clone(2) in compat entry x86/syscalls: Use COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros for x86-only compat syscalls x86/syscalls: Use proper syscall definition for sys_ioperm() x86/entry: Remove stale syscall prototype x86/syscalls/32: Simplify $entry == $compat entries objtool: Fix 32-bit build
