Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of x86 specific fixes and updates:
- The CR2 corruption fixes which store CR2 early in the entry code
and hand the stored address to the fault handlers.
- Revert a forgotten leftover of the dropped FSGSBASE series.
- Plug a memory leak in the boot code.
- Make the Hyper-V assist functionality robust by zeroing the shadow
page.
- Remove a useless check for dead processes with LDT
- Update paravirt and VMware maintainers entries.
- A few cleanup patches addressing various compiler warnings"

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.
