Pull x86 pti bits and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This last update contains:
- An objtool fix to prevent a segfault with the gold linker by
changing the invocation order. That's not just for gold, it's a
general robustness improvement.
- An improved error message for objtool which spares tearing hairs.
- Make KASAN fail loudly if there is not enough memory instead of
oopsing at some random place later
- RSB fill on context switch to prevent RSB underflow and speculation
through other units.
- Make the retpoline/RSB functionality work reliably for both Intel
and AMD
- Add retpoline to the module version magic so mismatch can be
detected
- A small (non-fix) update for cpufeatures which prevents cpu feature
clashing for the upcoming extra mitigation bits to ease
backporting"

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.
