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
