    Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 6b0a02e8
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull x86 pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
     "Another series of PTI related changes:
    
       - Remove the manual stack switch for user entries from the idtentry
         code. This debloats entry by 5k+ bytes of text.
    
       - Use the proper types for the asm/bootparam.h defines to prevent
         user space compile errors.
    
       - Use PAGE_GLOBAL for !PCID systems to gain back performance
    
       - Prevent setting of huge PUD/PMD entries when the entries are not
         leaf entries otherwise the entries to which the PUD/PMD points to
         and are populated get lost"
