      Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A couple of fixlets for x86:
      
         - Fix the ESPFIX double fault handling for 5-level pagetables
      
         - Fix the commandline parsing for 'apic=' on 32bit systems and update
           documentation
      
         - Make zombie stack traces reliable
      
         - Fix kexec with stack canary
      
         - Fix the delivery mode for APICs which was missed when the x86
           vector management was converted to single target delivery. Caused a
           regression due to the broken hardware which ignores affinity
           settings in lowest prio delivery mode.
      
         - Unbreak modules when AMD memory encryption is enabled
      
         - Remove an unused parameter of prepare_switch_to"

       "A pile of fixes for long standing issues with the timer wheel and the

         - Prevent timer base confusion accross the nohz switch, which can
           cause unlocked access and data corruption
      
         - Reinitialize the stale base clock on cpu hotplug to prevent subtle
           side effects including rollovers on 32bit

           pending caused by tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A rather large update after the kaisered maintainer finally found time
        to handle regression reports.
      
         - The larger part addresses a regression caused by the x86 vector
           management rework.
      
           The reservation based model does not work reliably for MSI
           interrupts, if they cannot be masked (yes, yet another hw
           engineering trainwreck). The reason is that the reservation mode
           assigns a dummy vector when the interrupt is allocated and switches
           to a real vector when the interrupt is requested.
      
           If the MSI entry cannot be masked then the initialization might
           raise an interrupt before the interrupt is requested, which ends up
           as spurious interrupt and causes device malfunction and worse. The
           fix is to exclude MSI interrupts which do not support masking from
           reservation mode and assign a real vector right away.
      
         - Extend the extra lockdep class setup for nested interrupts with a
           class for the recently added irq_desc::request_mutex so lockdep can
           differeniate and does not emit false positive warnings.
      
         - A ratelimit guard for the bad irq printout so in case a bad irq
           comes back immediately the system does not drown in dmesg spam"
