Pull x86 page table isolation fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A couple of urgent fixes for PTI:
- Fix a PTE mismatch between user and kernel visible mapping of the
cpu entry area (differs vs. the GLB bit) and causes a TLB mismatch
MCE on older AMD K8 machines
- Fix the misplaced CR3 switch in the SYSCALL compat entry code which
causes access to unmapped kernel memory resulting in double faults.
- Fix the section mismatch of the cpu_tss_rw percpu storage caused by
using a different mechanism for declaration and definition.
- Two fixes for dumpstack which help to decode entry stack issues
better
- Enable PTI by default in Kconfig. We should have done that earlier,
but it slipped through the cracks.
- Exclude AMD from the PTI enforcement. Not necessarily a fix, but if
AMD is so confident that they are not affected, then we should not
burden users with the overhead"

x86/dumpstack: Print registers for first stack frame
x86/dumpstack: Fix partial register dumps
x86/pti: Make sure the user/kernel PTEs match
x86/cpu, x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on AMD processors
x86/pti: Enable PTI by default
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
