Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of fixes for x86:

   - Fix the swapped outb() parameters in the KASLR code

   - Fix the PKEY handling at fork which missed to preserve the pkey
     state for the child. Comes with a test case to validate that.

   - Fix the entry stack handling for XEN PV to respect that XEN PV
     systems enter the function already on the current thread stack and
     not on the trampoline.

   - Fix kexec load failure caused by using a stale value when the
     kexec_buf structure is reused for subsequent allocations.

   - Fix a bogus sizeof() in the memory encryption code

   - Enforce PCI dependency for the Intel Low Power Subsystem

   - Enforce PCI_LOCKLESS_CONFIG when PCI is enabled"

* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86/Kconfig: Select PCI_LOCKLESS_CONFIG if PCI is enabled
  x86/entry/64/compat: Fix stack switching for XEN PV
  x86/kexec: Fix a kexec_file_load() failure
  x86/mm/mem_encrypt: Fix erroneous sizeof()
  x86/selftests/pkeys: Fork() to check for state being preserved
  x86/pkeys: Properly copy pkey state at fork()
  x86/kaslr: Fix incorrect i8254 outb() parameters
  x86/intel/lpss: Make PCI dependency explicit

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
