Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Boot code changes:

   - A large series of changes to reorganize the x86 boot code into a
     better isolated and easier to maintain base of PIC early startup
     code in arch/x86/boot/startup/, by Ard Biesheuvel.

     Motivation & background:

  	| Since commit
  	|
  	|    c88d715 ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C")
  	|
  	| dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way
  	| that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C
  	| code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided
  	| to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a
  	| bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and
  	| right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables)
  	| without crashing.
  	|
  	| This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP
  	| startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and
  	| grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special
  	| annotations or helpers to access global objects.

+Old Microcode
+=============
+
+The kernel keeps a table of released microcode. Systems that had
+microcode older than this at boot will say "Vulnerable".  This means
+that the system was vulnerable to some known CPU issue. It could be
+security or functional, the kernel does not know or care.
+
+You should update the CPU microcode to mitigate any exposure. This is
+usually accomplished by updating the files in
+/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/ via normal distribution updates. Intel also
+distributes these files in a github repo:
+
+	https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files.git
+
+Just like all the other hardware vulnerabilities, exposure is
+determined at boot. Runtime microcode updates do not change the status
+of this vulnerability.
