Pull low-level x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
"In this cycle this topic tree has become one of those 'super topics'
that accumulated a lot of changes:
- Add CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y support to the core kernel and enable it on
x86 - preceded by an array of changes. v4.8 saw preparatory changes
in this area already - this is the rest of the work. Includes the
thread stack caching performance optimization. (Andy Lutomirski)
- switch_to() cleanups and all around enhancements. (Brian Gerst)
- A large number of dumpstack infrastructure enhancements and an
unwinder abstraction. The secret long term plan is safe(r) live
patching plus maybe another attempt at debuginfo based unwinding -
but all these current bits are standalone enhancements in a frame
pointer based debug environment as well. (Josh Poimboeuf)
- More __ro_after_init and const annotations. (Kees Cook)
- Enable KASLR for the vmemmap memory region. (Thomas Garnier)"
[ The virtually mapped stack changes are pretty fundamental, and not
x86-specific per se, even if they are only used on x86 right now. ]
