Merge branch 'x86-entry-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 vsyscall updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Further hardening of the legacy vsyscall by providing support for
execute only mode and switching the default to it.
This prevents a certain class of attacks which rely on the vsyscall
page being accessible at a fixed address in the canonical kernel
address space"
