Pull misc x86 updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for miscellaneous x86 areas:
- Reserve a new boot loader type for barebox which is usally used on
ARM and MIPS, but can also be utilized as EFI payload on x86 to
provide watchdog-supervised boot up.
- Consolidate the native and compat 32bit signal handling code and
split the 64bit version out into a separate source file
- Switch the ESPFIX random usage to get_random_long()"

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.
