Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 page table isolation updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the final set of enabling page table isolation on x86:
- Infrastructure patches for handling the extra page tables.
- Patches which map the various bits and pieces which are required to
get in and out of user space into the user space visible page
tables.
- The required changes to have CR3 switching in the entry/exit code.
- Optimizations for the CR3 switching along with documentation how
the ASID/PCID mechanism works.
- Updates to dump pagetables to cover the user space page tables for
W+X scans and extra debugfs files to analyze both the kernel and
the user space visible page tables
The whole functionality is compile time controlled via a config switch
and can be turned on/off on the command line as well"
