Merge branch 'x86-kaslr-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 kernel address space randomization support from Peter Anvin: "This enables kernel address space randomization for x86" * 'x86-kaslr-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, kaslr: Clarify RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET x86, kaslr: Remove unused including <linux/version.h> x86, kaslr: Use char array to gain sizeof sanity x86, kaslr: Add a circular multiply for better bit diffusion x86, kaslr: Mix entropy sources together as needed x86/relocs: Add percpu fixup for GNU ld 2.23 x86, boot: Rename get_flags() and check_flags() to *_cpuflags() x86, kaslr: Raise the maximum virtual address to -1 GiB on x86_64 x86, kaslr: Report kernel offset on panic x86, kaslr: Select random position from e820 maps x86, kaslr: Provide randomness functions x86, kaslr: Return location from decompress_kernel x86, boot: Move CPU flags out of cpucheck x86, relocs: Add more per-cpu gold special cases
