Merge tag 'x86_core_for_v5.16_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Do not #GP on userspace use of CLI/STI but pretend it was a NOP to
   keep old userspace from breaking. Adjust the corresponding iopl
   selftest to that.

 - Improve stack overflow warnings to say which stack got overflowed and
   raise the exception stack sizes to 2 pages since overflowing the
   single page of exception stack is very easy to do nowadays with all
   the tracing machinery enabled. With that, rip out the custom mapping
   of AMD SEV's too.

 - A bunch of changes in preparation for FGKASLR like supporting more
   than 64K section headers in the relocs tool, correct ORC lookup table
   size to cover the whole kernel .text and other adjustments.
