Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86/pti update from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Just a single change from the anti-performance departement:

   - Add a new PR_SPEC_DISABLE_NOEXEC option which allows to apply the
     speculation protections on a process without inheriting the state
     on exec.

     This remedies a situation where a Java-launcher has speculation
     protections enabled because that's the default for JVMs which
     causes the launched regular harmless processes to inherit the
     protection state which results in unintended performance
     degradation"
