Pull x86 pti bits and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This last update contains:

   - An objtool fix to prevent a segfault with the gold linker by
     changing the invocation order. That's not just for gold, it's a
     general robustness improvement.

   - An improved error message for objtool which spares tearing hairs.

   - Make KASAN fail loudly if there is not enough memory instead of
     oopsing at some random place later

   - RSB fill on context switch to prevent RSB underflow and speculation
     through other units.

   - Make the retpoline/RSB functionality work reliably for both Intel
     and AMD

   - Add retpoline to the module version magic so mismatch can be
     detected

   - A small (non-fix) update for cpufeatures which prevents cpu feature
     clashing for the upcoming extra mitigation bits to ease
     backporting"

If a nonexistent file is supplied to objtool, it complains with a
non-helpful error:

  open: No such file or directory

Improve it to:

  objtool: Can't open 'foo': No such file or directory

Pull x86 pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This contains:

   - a PTI bugfix to avoid setting reserved CR3 bits when PCID is
     disabled. This seems to cause issues on a virtual machine at least
     and is incorrect according to the AMD manual.

   - a PTI bugfix which disables the perf BTS facility if PTI is
     enabled. The BTS AUX buffer is not globally visible and causes the
     CPU to fault when the mapping disappears on switching CR3 to user
     space. A full fix which restores BTS on PTI is non trivial and will
     be worked on.

   - PTI bugfixes for EFI and trusted boot which make sure that the user
     space visible page table entries have the NX bit cleared

   - removal of dead code in the PTI pagetable setup functions

   - add PTI documentation

   - add a selftest for vsyscall to verify that the kernel actually
     implements what it advertises.

   - a sysfs interface to expose vulnerability and mitigation
     information so there is a coherent way for users to retrieve the
     status.

   - the initial spectre_v2 mitigations, aka retpoline:

      + The necessary ASM thunk and compiler support

      + The ASM variants of retpoline and the conversion of affected ASM
        code

      + Make LFENCE serializing on AMD so it can be used as speculation
        trap

      + The RSB fill after vmexit

   - initial objtool support for retpoline

  As I said in the status mail this is the most of the set of patches
  which should go into 4.15 except two straight forward patches still on
  hold:

   - the retpoline add on of LFENCE which waits for ACKs

   - the RSB fill after context switch

  Both should be ready to go early next week and with that we'll have
  covered the major holes of spectre_v2 and go back to normality"

patch(1) loses the x bit.  So if a user follows our patching
instructions in Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst, their kernel will
not compile.

Getting objtool to understand retpolines is going to be a bit of a
challenge.  For now, take advantage of the fact that retpolines are
patched in with alternatives.  Just read the original (sane)
non-alternative instruction, and ignore the patched-in retpoline.

This allows objtool to understand the control flow *around* the
retpoline, even if it can't yet follow what's inside.  This means the
ORC unwinder will fail to unwind from inside a retpoline, but will work
fine otherwise.

<content type='text'>
A direct jump to a retpoline thunk is really an indirect jump in
disguise.  Change the objtool instruction type accordingly.

Objtool needs to know where indirect branches are so it can detect
switch statement jump tables.

This fixes a bunch of warnings with CONFIG_RETPOLINE like:

  arch/x86/events/intel/uncore_nhmex.o: warning: objtool: nhmex_rbox_msr_enable_event()+0x44: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  kernel/signal.o: warning: objtool: copy_siginfo_to_user()+0x91: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame
  ...

It just happened to work before because OP_SRC_REG and OP_DEST_REG have
