Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A couple of fixlets for x86:

   - Fix the ESPFIX double fault handling for 5-level pagetables

   - Fix the commandline parsing for 'apic=' on 32bit systems and update
     documentation

   - Make zombie stack traces reliable

   - Fix kexec with stack canary

   - Fix the delivery mode for APICs which was missed when the x86
     vector management was converted to single target delivery. Caused a
     regression due to the broken hardware which ignores affinity
     settings in lowest prio delivery mode.

   - Unbreak modules when AMD memory encryption is enabled

   - Remove an unused parameter of prepare_switch_to"

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"

x86/build: Make isoimage work on Debian

2017-12-16T15:23:31+00:00

Debian does not ship a 'mkisofs' symlink to genisoimage.  All modern
distros ship genisoimage, so just use that directly.  That requires
renaming the 'genisoimage' function.  Also neaten up the 'for' loop
while I'm in here.

x86/build: Don't verify mtools configuration file for isoimage

2017-12-11T17:55:38+00:00

If mtools.conf is not generated before, 'make isoimage' could complain:

  Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#597)
    GENIMAGE arch/x86/boot/image.iso
   *** Missing file: arch/x86/boot/mtools.conf
  arch/x86/boot/Makefile:144: recipe for target 'isoimage' failed

mtools.conf is not used for isoimage generation, so do not check it.

x86/boot/compressed/64: Print error if 5-level paging is not supported

2017-12-07T09:36:26+00:00

If the machine does not support the paging mode for which the kernel was
compiled, the boot process cannot continue.

It's not possible to let the kernel detect the mismatch as it does not even
reach the point where cpu features can be evaluted due to a triple fault in
the KASLR setup.

Instead of instantaneous silent reboot, emit an error message which gives
the user the information why the boot fails.

x86/boot/compressed/64: Detect and handle 5-level paging at boot-time

2017-12-07T09:34:39+00:00

Prerequisite for fixing the current problem of instantaneous reboots when a
5-level paging kernel is booted on 4-level paging hardware.

At the same time this change prepares the decompression code to boot-time
switching between 4- and 5-level paging.

[ tglx: Folded the GCC < 5 fix. ]

x86/boot/KASLR: Remove unused variable

2017-11-23T19:17:59+00:00

There are two variables "rc" in mem_avoid_memmap. One at the top of the
function and another one inside the while() loop. Drop the outer one as it
is unused. Cleanup some whitespace damage while at it.
