Linus Torvalds 8a6bd2f40e Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "An unfortunately larger set of fixes, but a large portion is
  selftests:

   - Fix the missing clusterid initializaiton for x2apic cluster
     management which caused boot failures due to IPIs being sent to the
     wrong cluster

   - Drop TX_COMPAT when a 64bit executable is exec()'ed from a compat
     task

   - Wrap access to __supported_pte_mask in __startup_64() where clang
     compile fails due to a non PC relative access being generated.

   - Two fixes for 5 level paging fallout in the decompressor:

      - Handle GOT correctly for paging_prepare() and
        cleanup_trampoline()

      - Fix the page table handling in cleanup_trampoline() to avoid
        page table corruption.

   - Stop special casing protection key 0 as this is inconsistent with
     the manpage and also inconsistent with the allocation map handling.

   - Override the protection key wen moving away from PROT_EXEC to
     prevent inaccessible memory.

   - Fix and update the protection key selftests to address breakage and
     to cover the above issue

   - Add a MOV SS self test"

[ Part of the x86 fixes were in the earlier core pull due to dependencies ]

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.
