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"

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.
