       "Remove the ESP/RSP thunks for retpoline as they cannot ever work.
      
        Get rid of them before they show up in a release"

      Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A set of small fixes for 4.15:
      
         - Fix vmapped stack synchronization on systems with 4-level paging
           and a large amount of memory caused by a missing 5-level folding
           which made the pgd synchronization logic to fail and causing double
           faults.
      
         - Add a missing sanity check in the vmalloc_fault() logic on 5-level
           paging systems.
      
         - Bring back protection against accessing a freed initrd in the
           microcode loader which was lost by a wrong merge conflict
           resolution.
      
         - Extend the Broadwell micro code loading sanity check.
      
         - Add a missing ENDPROC annotation in ftrace assembly code which
           makes ORC unhappy.
      
         - Prevent loading the AMD power module on !AMD platforms. The load
           itself is uncritical, but an unload attempt results in a kernel
           crash.
      
         - Update Peter Anvins role in the MAINTAINERS file"
      
      * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
        x86/ftrace: Add one more ENDPROC annotation
        x86: Mark hpa as a "Designated Reviewer" for the time being
        x86/mm/64: Tighten up vmalloc_fault() sanity checks on 5-level kernels
        x86/mm/64: Fix vmapped stack syncing on very-large-memory 4-level systems
        x86/microcode: Fix again accessing initrd after having been freed
        x86/microcode/intel: Extend BDW late-loading further with LLC size check

      Pull timer fix from Thomas Gleixner:
       "A single fix for a ~10 years old problem which causes high resolution
        timers to stop after a CPU unplug/plug cycle due to a stale flag in
        the per CPU hrtimer base struct.
      
        Paul McKenney was hunting this for about a year, but the heisenbug
        nature made it resistant against debug attempts for quite some time"
