Merge branch 'x86-build-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 build updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Misc cleanups and a retpoline code generation optimization"

* 'x86-build-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86, retpolines: Raise limit for generating indirect calls from switch-case
  x86/build: Use the single-argument OUTPUT_FORMAT() linker script command
  x86/build: Specify elf_i386 linker emulation explicitly for i386 objects
  x86/build: Mark per-CPU symbols as absolute explicitly for LLD
