From:   Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>
To:     Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
Cc:     linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, x86@...nel.org
Subject: [GIT pull] x86/entry for 5.3-rc1

Linus,

please pull the latest x86-entry-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-entry-for-linus

up to:  7f0a5e075583: selftests/x86: Add a test for process_vm_readv() on the vsyscall page

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..

Thanks,

	tglx
