Linus Torvalds 6b0a02e86c Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Another series of PTI related changes:

   - Remove the manual stack switch for user entries from the idtentry
     code. This debloats entry by 5k+ bytes of text.

   - Use the proper types for the asm/bootparam.h defines to prevent
     user space compile errors.

   - Use PAGE_GLOBAL for !PCID systems to gain back performance

   - Prevent setting of huge PUD/PMD entries when the entries are not
     leaf entries otherwise the entries to which the PUD/PMD points to
     and are populated get lost"

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.
