Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
"One (hopefully) last batch of x86 fixes. You asked for the patch by
patch justifications, so here they are:
x86, MCE: Retract most UAPI exports
This one unexports from userspace a bunch of definitions which should
never have been exported. We really don't want to create an
accidental legacy here.
x86, doc: Add a bootloader ID for OVMF
This is a documentation-only patch, just recording the official
assignment of a boot loader ID.
x86: Do not leak kernel page mapping locations
Security: avoid making it needlessly easy for user space to probe the
kernel memory layout.
x86/mm: Check if PUD is large when validating a kernel address
Prevent failures using /proc/kcore when using 1G pages.
x86/apic: Work around boot failure on HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server systems
Works around a BIOS problem causing boot failures on affected hardware."
