Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A couple of fixlets for x86:

   - Fix the ESPFIX double fault handling for 5-level pagetables

   - Fix the commandline parsing for 'apic=' on 32bit systems and update
     documentation

   - Make zombie stack traces reliable

   - Fix kexec with stack canary

   - Fix the delivery mode for APICs which was missed when the x86
     vector management was converted to single target delivery. Caused a
     regression due to the broken hardware which ignores affinity
     settings in lowest prio delivery mode.

   - Unbreak modules when AMD memory encryption is enabled

   - Remove an unused parameter of prepare_switch_to"

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A pile of fixes for long standing issues with the timer wheel and the
  NOHZ code:

   - Prevent timer base confusion accross the nohz switch, which can
     cause unlocked access and data corruption

   - Reinitialize the stale base clock on cpu hotplug to prevent subtle
     side effects including rollovers on 32bit

   - Prevent an interrupt storm when the timer softirq is already
     pending caused by tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()

   - Move the timer start tracepoint to a place where it actually makes
     sense

   - Add documentation to timerqueue functions as they caused confusion
     several times now"

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update after the kaisered maintainer finally found time
  to handle regression reports.

   - The larger part addresses a regression caused by the x86 vector
     management rework.

     The reservation based model does not work reliably for MSI
     interrupts, if they cannot be masked (yes, yet another hw
     engineering trainwreck). The reason is that the reservation mode
     assigns a dummy vector when the interrupt is allocated and switches
     to a real vector when the interrupt is requested.

     If the MSI entry cannot be masked then the initialization might
     raise an interrupt before the interrupt is requested, which ends up
     as spurious interrupt and causes device malfunction and worse. The
     fix is to exclude MSI interrupts which do not support masking from
     reservation mode and assign a real vector right away.

   - Extend the extra lockdep class setup for nested interrupts with a
     class for the recently added irq_desc::request_mutex so lockdep can
     differeniate and does not emit false positive warnings.

   - A ratelimit guard for the bad irq printout so in case a bad irq
     comes back immediately the system does not drown in dmesg spam"
