Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull straggler x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
"Three groups of patches:
- EFI boot stub documentation and the ability to print error messages;
- Removal for PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32 (obsolete interface which
should never have been ported, and the port is broken and
potentially dangerous.)
- ftrace stack corruption fixes. I'm not super-happy about the
technical implementation, but it is probably the least invasive in
the short term. In the future I would like a single method for
nesting the debug stack, however."
