    Pull x86 core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
    
     - Prevent kprobes on compiler generated CFI checking code.
    
       The compiler generates an instruction sequence for indirect call
       checks. If this sequence is modified with a kprobe, then the check
       fails. So the instructions must be protected against probing.
    
     - A few minor cleanups for the SMP code
