Merge branch 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull core fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A small set of core updates: - Make objtool cope with GCC8 oddities some more - Remove a stale local_irq_save/restore sequence in the signal code along with the stale comment in the RCU code. The underlying issue which led to this has been solved long time ago, but nobody cared to cleanup the hackarounds" * 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: signal: Remove no longer required irqsave/restore rcu: Update documentation of rcu_read_unlock() objtool: Fix GCC 8 cold subfunction detection for aliased functions
