      Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 55151142
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull x86 pti fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A small set of fixes for the meltdown/spectre mitigations:
      
         - Make kprobes aware of retpolines to prevent probes in the retpoline
           thunks.
      
         - Make the machine check exception speculation protected. MCE used to
           issue an indirect call directly from the ASM entry code. Convert
           that to a direct call into a C-function and issue the indirect call
           from there so the compiler can add the retpoline protection,
      
         - Make the vmexit_fill_RSB() assembly less stupid
      
         - Fix a typo in the PTI documentation"
