commit f7d665627e103e82d34306c7d3f6f46f387c0d8b upstream.

x86_64 needs to use compat_sys_keyctl for 32-bit userspace rather than
calling sys_keyctl(). The latter will work in a lot of cases, thereby
hiding the issue.

<title>x86/syscalls/64: Mark sys_iopl() as using ptregs</title>

sys_iopl() both reads and writes pt_regs-&gt;flags.  Mark it as using ptregs.

This isn't strictly necessary, as pt_regs-&gt;flags is available
even in the fast path, but this is very lightweight now that we
have syscall qualifiers and it could avoid some pain down the
road.

This removes all of the remaining asm syscall stubs except for
stub_ptregs_64.  Entries in the main syscall table are now all
callable from C.

The resulting asm is every bit as ridiculous as it looks.  The
next few patches will clean it up.  This patch is here to let
reviewers rest their brains and for bisection.

<title>x86/entry/64: Always run ptregs-using syscalls on the slow path</title>

64-bit syscalls currently have an optimization in which they are
called with partial pt_regs.  A small handful require full
pt_regs.

In the 32-bit and compat cases, I cleaned this up by forcing
full pt_regs for all syscalls.  The performance hit doesn't
really matter as the affected system calls are fundamentally
heavy and this is the 32-bit compat case.

I want to clean up the 64-bit case as well, but I don't want to
hurt fast path performance.  To do that, I want to force the
syscalls that use pt_regs onto the slow path.  This will enable
us to make slow path syscalls be real ABI-compliant C functions.

Use the new syscall entry qualification machinery for this.
'stub_clone' is now 'stub_clone/ptregs'.

The next patch will eliminate the stubs, and we'll just have
'sys_clone/ptregs'.

As of this patch, two-phase entry tracing is no longer used.  It
has served its purpose (namely a huge speedup on some workloads
prior to more general opportunistic SYSRET support), and once
the dust settles I'll send patches to back it out.

The implementation is heavily based on a patch from Brian Gerst:

This will let us specify something like 'sys_xyz/foo' instead of
'sys_xyz' in the syscall table, where the 'foo' qualifier conveys
some extra information to the C code.

The intent is to allow things like sys_execve/ptregs to indicate
that sys_execve() touches pt_regs.

<title>x86/syscalls: Move compat syscall entry handling into syscalltbl.sh</title>

Rather than duplicating the compat entry handling in all
consumers of syscalls_BITS.h, handle it directly in
syscalltbl.sh.  Now we generate entries in syscalls_32.h like:

__SYSCALL_I386(5, sys_open)
__SYSCALL_I386(5, compat_sys_open)

and all of its consumers implicitly get the right entry point.

<title>x86/syscalls: Remove __SYSCALL_COMMON and __SYSCALL_X32</title>

The common/64/x32 distinction has no effect other than
determining which kernels actually support the syscall.  Move
the logic into syscalltbl.sh.
