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
