Merge branch 'linus' into x86/boot, to resolve conflict

There's a new conflict with Linus's upstream tree, because
in the following merge conflict resolution in <asm/coco.h>:

  38b334fc767e Merge tag 'x86_sev_for_v6.9_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Linus has resolved the conflicting placement of 'cc_mask' better
than the original commit:

  1c811d403afd x86/sev: Fix position dependent variable references in startup code

... which was also done by an internal merge resolution:

  2e5fc4786b7a Merge branch 'x86/sev' into x86/boot, to resolve conflicts and to pick up dependent tree

But Linus is right in 38b334fc767e, the 'cc_mask' declaration is sufficient
within the #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CC_PLATFORM block.

So instead of forcing Linus to do the same resolution again, merge in Linus's
tree and follow his conflict resolution.

 Config
 ------
 
-Set these config options and their prerequisites:
+Set CONFIG_LIVEPATCH=y option and it's prerequisites.
 
-CONFIG_LIVEPATCH=y
-CONFIG_TEST_LIVEPATCH=m
 
+Building the tests
+------------------
+
+To only build the tests without running them, run:
+
+  % make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch
+
+The command above will compile all test modules and test programs, making them
+ready to be packaged if so desired.
 
 Running the tests
 -----------------
 
-Test kernel modules are built as part of lib/ (make modules) and need to
-be installed (make modules_install) as the test scripts will modprobe
-them.
+Test kernel modules are built before running the livepatch selftests.  The
+modules are located under test_modules directory, and are built as out-of-tree
+modules.  This is specially useful since the same sources can be built and
+tested on systems with different kABI, ensuring they the tests are backwards
+compatible.  The modules will be loaded by the test scripts using insmod.
 
 To run the livepatch selftests, from the top of the kernel source tree:
 
   % make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=livepatch run_tests
 
+or
+
+  % make kselftest TARGETS=livepatch
+
