Pull x86/pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Yet another pile of melted spectrum related updates:
- Drop native vsyscall support finally as it causes more trouble than
benefit.
- Make microcode loading more robust. There were a few issues
especially related to late loading which are now surfacing because
late loading of the IB* microcodes addressing spectre issues has
become more widely used.
- Simplify and robustify the syscall handling in the entry code
- Prevent kprobes on the entry trampoline code which lead to kernel
crashes when the probe hits before CR3 is updated
- Don't check microcode versions when running on hypervisors as they
are considered as lying anyway.
- Fix the 32bit objtool build and a coment typo"

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
