Merge tag 'x86_core_for_v5.17_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Get rid of all the .fixup sections because this generates
   misleading/wrong stacktraces and confuse RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and
   LIVEPATCH as the backtrace misses the function which is being fixed
   up.

 - Add Straight Line Speculation mitigation support which uses a new
   compiler switch -mharden-sls= which sticks an INT3 after a RET or an
   indirect branch in order to block speculation after them. Reportedly,
   CPUs do speculate behind such insns.

 - The usual set of cleanups and improvements
