Pull x86 pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two small PTI updates:
- Handle unaligned addresses gracefully in pti_clone_pagetable(). Not
an issue with current callers, but a correctness problem. Adds a
warning so any caller which hands in an unaligned address gets
pointed out clearly.
- Prevent PTI functions from being invoked when PTI is disabled at
boottime. While this does not cause any harm today, it's pointless
code executed and prone to cause subtle issues if the PTI
implementation changes internally over time"

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.
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.
