Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: - Correct the L1TF fallout on 32bit and the off by one in the 'too much RAM for protection' calculation. - Add a helpful kernel message for the 'too much RAM' case - Unbreak the VDSO in case that the compiler desides to use indirect jumps/calls and emits retpolines which cannot be resolved because the kernel uses its own thunks, which does not work for the VDSO. Make it use the builtin thunks. - Re-export start_thread() which was unexported when the 32/64bit implementation was unified. start_thread() is required by modular binfmt handlers. - Trivial cleanups * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/speculation/l1tf: Suggest what to do on systems with too much RAM x86/speculation/l1tf: Fix off-by-one error when warning that system has too much RAM x86/kvm/vmx: Remove duplicate l1d flush definitions x86/speculation/l1tf: Fix overflow in l1tf_pfn_limit() on 32bit x86/process: Re-export start_thread() x86/mce: Add notifier_block forward declaration x86/vdso: Fix vDSO build if a retpoline is emitted
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
