Pull x86 PTI and Spectre related fixes and updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Here's the latest set of Spectre and PTI related fixes and updates:

  Spectre:
   - Add entry code register clearing to reduce the Spectre attack
     surface
   - Update the Spectre microcode blacklist
   - Inline the KVM Spectre helpers to get close to v4.14 performance
     again.
   - Fix indirect_branch_prediction_barrier()
   - Fix/improve Spectre related kernel messages
   - Fix array_index_nospec_mask() asm constraint
   - KVM: fix two MSR handling bugs

  PTI:
   - Fix a paranoid entry PTI CR3 handling bug
   - Fix comments

  objtool:
   - Fix paranoid_entry() frame pointer warning
   - Annotate WARN()-related UD2 as reachable
   - Various fixes
   - Add Add Peter Zijlstra as objtool co-maintainer

  Misc:
   - Various x86 entry code self-test fixes
   - Improve/simplify entry code stack frame generation and handling
     after recent heavy-handed PTI and Spectre changes. (There's two
     more WIP improvements expected here.)
   - Type fix for cache entries

  There's also some low risk non-fix changes I've included in this
  branch to reduce backporting conflicts:

   - rename a confusing x86_cpu field name
   - de-obfuscate the naming of single-TLB flushing primitives"

* 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (41 commits)
  x86/entry/64: Fix CR3 restore in paranoid_exit()

x86_mask is a confusing name which is hard to associate with the
processor's stepping.

Additionally, correct an indent issue in lib/cpu.c.

We should not call edac_mc_del_mc() if a corresponding call to
edac_mc_add_mc() has not been performed yet.

So here, we should go to err instead of err2 to branch at the right
place of the error handling path.

TI Keystone and DRA7xx SoCs have support for EDAC on DDR3 memory that can
correct one bit errors and detect two bit errors. Add EDAC driver for this
feature which plugs into the generic kernel EDAC framework.

Fix an uninitialized variable warning in the Octeon EDAC driver, as seen
in MIPS cavium_octeon_defconfig builds since v4.14 with Codescape GNU
Tools 2016.05-03:

  drivers/edac/octeon_edac-lmc.c In function ‘octeon_lmc_edac_poll_o2’:
  drivers/edac/octeon_edac-lmc.c:87:24: warning: ‘((long unsigned int*)&amp;int_reg)[1]’ may \
    be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    if (int_reg.s.sec_err || int_reg.s.ded_err) {
                        ^
Iinitialise the whole int_reg variable to zero before the conditional
assignments in the error injection case.

 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - Introduce lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled()/disabled() and convert
     open-coded equivalents to lockdep variants. (Frederic Weisbecker)

   - Add down_read_killable() and use it in the VFS's iterate_dir()
     method. (Kirill Tkhai)

   - Convert remaining uses of ACCESS_ONCE() to
     READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE(). Most of the conversion was Coccinelle
     driven. (Mark Rutland, Paul E. McKenney)

   - Get rid of lockless_dereference(), by strengthening Alpha atomics,
     strengthening READ_ONCE() with smp_read_barrier_depends() and thus
     being able to convert users of lockless_dereference() to
     READ_ONCE(). (Will Deacon)

   - Various micro-optimizations:

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
