    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "Most of the changes relate to Peter Zijlstra's cleanup of ptregs
      handling, in particular the i386 part is now much simplified and
      standardized - no more partial ptregs stack frames via the esp/ss
      oddity. This simplifies ftrace, kprobes, the unwinder, ptrace, kdump
      and kgdb.
    
      There's also a CR4 hardening enhancements by Kees Cook, to make the
      generic platform functions such as native_write_cr4() less useful as
      ROP gadgets that disable SMEP/SMAP. Also protect the WP bit of CR0
      against similar attacks.
    
      The rest is smaller cleanups/fixes"
