Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull additional x86 fixes from Peter Anvin: - address a long-standing bug related to when a kernel-spawned process gets a signal on an i386 kernel compiled without CONFIG_VM86. - fix the newly introduced build warning in arch/x86/boot. - fix a typo in the i386 system call table which affects building some libcs. * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86-32: Fix endless loop when processing signals for kernel tasks x86, boot: Correct CFLAGS for hostprogs x86-32: Fix typo for mq_getsetattr in syscall table
