Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Speculation:
- Make the microcode check more robust
- Make the L1TF memory limit depend on the internal cache physical
address space and not on the CPUID advertised physical address
space, which might be significantly smaller. This avoids disabling
L1TF on machines which utilize the full physical address space.
- Fix the GDT mapping for EFI calls on 32bit PTI
- Fix the MCE nospec implementation to prevent #GP
Fixes and robustness:
- Use the proper operand order for LSL in the VDSO
- Prevent NMI uaccess race against CR3 switching
- Add a lockdep check to verify that text_mutex is held in
text_poke() functions
- Repair the fallout of giving native_restore_fl() a prototype
- Prevent kernel memory dumps based on usermode RIP
- Wipe KASAN shadow stack before rewinding the stack to prevent false
positives
- Move the AMS GOTO enforcement to the actual build stage to allow
user API header extraction without a compiler
- Fix a section mismatch introduced by the on demand VDSO mapping
change
Miscellaneous:
- Trivial typo, GCC quirk removal and CC_SET/OUT() cleanups"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
