#     Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
#     
#     Pull STIBP fallout fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
#      "The performance destruction department finally got it's act together
#       and came up with a cure for the STIPB regression:
#     
#        - Provide a command line option to control the spectre v2 user space
#          mitigations. Default is either seccomp or prctl (if seccomp is
#          disabled in Kconfig). prctl allows mitigation opt-in, seccomp
#          enables the migitation for sandboxed processes.
#     
#        - Rework the code to handle the conditional STIBP/IBPB control and
#          remove the now unused ptrace_may_access_sched() optimization
#          attempt
#     
#        - Disable STIBP automatically when SMT is disabled
#     
#        - Optimize the switch_to() logic to avoid MSR writes and invocations
#          of __switch_to_xtra().
#     
#        - Make the asynchronous speculation TIF updates synchronous to
#          prevent stale mitigation state.
#     
#       As a general cleanup this also makes retpoline directly depend on
#       compiler support and removes the 'minimal retpoline' option which just
#       pretended to provide some form of security while providing none"
