Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes for x86:
- Make Xen PV guest deal with speculative store bypass correctly
- Address more fallout from the 5-Level pagetable handling. Undo an
__initdata annotation to avoid section mismatch and malfunction
when post init code would touch the freed variable.
- Handle exception fixup in math_error() before calling notify_die().
The reverse call order incorrectly triggers notify_die() listeners
for soemthing which is handled correctly at the site which issues
the floating point instruction.
- Fix an off by one in the LLC topology calculation on AMD
- Handle non standard memory block sizes gracefully un UV platforms
- Plug a memory leak in the microcode loader
- Sanitize the purgatory build magic
- Add the x86 specific device tree bindings directory to the x86
MAINTAINER file patterns"

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
