Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"An unfortunately larger set of fixes, but a large portion is
selftests:
- Fix the missing clusterid initializaiton for x2apic cluster
management which caused boot failures due to IPIs being sent to the
wrong cluster
- Drop TX_COMPAT when a 64bit executable is exec()'ed from a compat
task
- Wrap access to __supported_pte_mask in __startup_64() where clang
compile fails due to a non PC relative access being generated.
- Two fixes for 5 level paging fallout in the decompressor:
- Handle GOT correctly for paging_prepare() and
cleanup_trampoline()
- Fix the page table handling in cleanup_trampoline() to avoid
page table corruption.
- Stop special casing protection key 0 as this is inconsistent with
the manpage and also inconsistent with the allocation map handling.
- Override the protection key wen moving away from PROT_EXEC to
prevent inaccessible memory.
- Fix and update the protection key selftests to address breakage and
to cover the above issue
- Add a MOV SS self test"
[ Part of the x86 fixes were in the earlier core pull due to dependencies ]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
