Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:

 - Prevent a infinite loop in the MCE recovery on return to user space,
   which was caused by a second MCE queueing work for the same page and
   thereby creating a circular work list.

 - Make kern_addr_valid() handle existing PMD entries, which are marked
   not present in the higher level page table, correctly instead of
   blindly dereferencing them.

 - Pass a valid address to sanitize_phys(). This was caused by the
   mixture of inclusive and exclusive ranges. memtype_reserve() expect
   'end' being exclusive, but sanitize_phys() wants it inclusive. This
   worked so far, but with end being the end of the physical address
   space the fail is exposed.

 - Increase the maximum supported GPIO numbers for 64bit. Newer SoCs
   exceed the previous maximum.

History
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.
