Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git./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"
