Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "Yet another pile of melted spectrum related changes: - sanitize the array_index_nospec protection mechanism: Remove the overengineered array_index_nospec_mask_check() magic and allow const-qualified types as index to avoid temporary storage in a non-const local variable. - make the microcode loader more robust by properly propagating error codes. Provide information about new feature bits after micro code was updated so administrators can act upon. - optimizations of the entry ASM code which reduce code footprint and make the code simpler and faster. - fix the {pmd,pud}_{set,clear}_flags() implementations to work properly on paravirt kernels by removing the address translation operations. - revert the harmful vmexit_fill_RSB() optimization - use IBRS around firmware calls - teach objtool about retpolines and add annotations for indirect jumps and calls. - explicitly disable jumplabel patching in __init code and handle patching failures properly instead of silently ignoring them. - remove indirect paravirt calls for writing the speculation control MSR as these calls are obviously proving the same attack vector which is tried to be mitigated. - a few small fixes which address build issues with recent compiler and assembler versions" * 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (38 commits) KVM/VMX: Optimize vmx_vcpu_run() and svm_vcpu_run() by marking the RDMSR path as unlikely() KVM/x86: Remove indirect MSR op calls from SPEC_CTRL objtool, retpolines: Integrate objtool with retpoline support more closely x86/entry/64: Simplify ENCODE_FRAME_POINTER extable: Make init_kernel_text() global jump_label: Warn on failed jump_label patching attempt jump_label: Explicitly disable jump labels in __init code x86/entry/64: Open-code switch_to_thread_stack() x86/entry/64: Move ASM_CLAC to interrupt_entry() x86/entry/64: Remove 'interrupt' macro x86/entry/64: Move the switch_to_thread_stack() call to interrupt_entry() x86/entry/64: Move ENTER_IRQ_STACK from interrupt macro to interrupt_entry x86/entry/64: Move PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS from interrupt macro to helper function x86/speculation: Move firmware_restrict_branch_speculation_*() from C to CPP objtool: Add module specific retpoline rules objtool: Add retpoline validation objtool: Use existing global variables for options x86/mm/sme, objtool: Annotate indirect call in sme_encrypt_execute() x86/boot, objtool: Annotate indirect jump in secondary_startup_64() x86/paravirt, objtool: Annotate indirect calls ...
