Merge branch 'x86/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin: "A collection of minor fixes, more EFI variables paranoia (anti-bricking) plus the ability to disable the pstore either as a runtime default or completely, due to bricking concerns." * 'x86/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: efivars: Fix check for CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE x86, microcode_intel_early: Mark apply_microcode_early() as cpuinit efivars: Handle duplicate names from get_next_variable() efivars: explicitly calculate length of VariableName efivars: Add module parameter to disable use as a pstore backend efivars: Allow disabling use as a pstore backend x86-32, microcode_intel_early: Fix crash with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL x86-64: Fix the failure case in copy_user_handle_tail()
