    Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · ed58d66f
    Linus Torvalds authored
    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"
