Merge branch 'x86/espfix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip into next
Pull x86-64 espfix changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is the espfix64 code, which fixes the IRET information leak as
well as the associated functionality problem. With this code applied,
16-bit stack segments finally work as intended even on a 64-bit
kernel.
Consequently, this patchset also removes the runtime option that we
added as an interim measure.
To help the people working on Linux kernels for very small systems,
this patchset also makes these compile-time configurable features"
