Linus Torvalds abb7099dbc Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull  more x86 pti fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Another small stash of fixes for fallout from the PTI work:

   - Fix the modules vs. KASAN breakage which was caused by making
     MODULES_END depend of the fixmap size. That was done when the cpu
     entry area moved into the fixmap, but now that we have a separate
     map space for that this is causing more issues than it solves.

   - Use the proper cache flush methods for the debugstore buffers as
     they are mapped/unmapped during runtime and not statically mapped
     at boot time like the rest of the cpu entry area.

   - Make the map layout of the cpu_entry_area consistent for 4 and 5
     level paging and fix the KASLR vaddr_end wreckage.

   - Use PER_CPU_EXPORT for per cpu variable and while at it unbreak
     nvidia gfx drivers by dropping the GPL export. The subject line of
     the commit tells it the other way around, but I noticed that too
     late.

   - Fix the ASM alternative macros so they can be used in the middle of
     an inline asm block.

   - Rename the BUG_CPU_INSECURE flag to BUG_CPU_MELTDOWN so the attack
     vector is properly identified. The Spectre mitigations will come
     with their own bug bits later"

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
