Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:
 "The main thing in this merge is the defense for the Spectre
  vulnerabilities. But there are other updates as well, the changes in
  more detail:

   - An s390 specific implementation of the array_index_mask_nospec
     function to the defense against spectre v1

   - Two patches to utilize the new PPA-12/PPA-13 instructions to run
     the kernel and/or user space with reduced branch predicton.

   - The s390 variant of the 'retpoline' spectre v2 defense called
     'expoline'. There is no return instruction for s390, instead an
     indirect branch is used for function return

     The s390 defense mechanism for indirect branches works by using an
     execute-type instruction with the indirect branch as the target of
     the execute. In effect that turns off the prediction for the
     indirect branch.

   - Scrub registers in entry.S that contain user controlled values to
     prevent the speculative use of these values.

   - Re-add the second parameter for the s390 specific runtime
     instrumentation system call and move the header file to uapi. The
     second parameter will continue to do nothing but older kernel
     versions only accepted valid real-time signal numbers. The details
     will be documented in the man-page for the system call.

   - Corrections and improvements for the s390 specific documentation

   - Add a line to /proc/sysinfo to display the CPU model dependent
     license-internal-code identifier

   - A header file include fix for eadm.

   - An error message fix in the kprobes code.

   - The removal of an outdated ARCH_xxx select statement"
