Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 pti fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of updates for the x86/pti related code:

   - Preserve r8-r11 in int $0x80. r8-r11 need to be preserved, but the
     int$80 entry code removed that quite some time ago. Make it correct
     again.

   - A set of fixes for the Global Bit work which went into 4.17 and
     caused a bunch of interesting regressions:

      - Triggering a BUG in the page attribute code due to a missing
        check for early boot stage

      - Warnings in the page attribute code about holes in the kernel
        text mapping which are caused by the freeing of the init code.
        Handle such holes gracefully.

      - Reduce the amount of kernel memory which is set global to the
        actual text and do not incidentally overlap with data.

      - Disable the global bit when RANDSTRUCT is enabled as it
        partially defeats the hardening.

      - Make the page protection setup correct for vma->page_prot
        population again. The adjustment of the protections fell through
        the crack during the Global bit rework and triggers warnings on
        machines which do not support certain features, e.g. NX"
