   - Fix the PAT performance regression that downgraded write-combining

     optimizations.

 "y2038 syscall implementation cleanups

  This is a series of cleanups for the y2038 work, mostly intended for
  namespace cleaning: the kernel defines the traditional time_t, timeval
  and timespec types that often lead to y2038-unsafe code. Even though
  the unsafe usage is mostly gone from the kernel, having the types and
  associated functions around means that we can still grow new users,
  and that we may be missing conversions to safe types that actually
  matter.

  There are still a number of driver specific patches needed to get the
  last users of these types removed, those have been submitted to the
  respective maintainers"

  As such it's not really an iterative series, but replaces the old

<content type='text'>
The old x86_32 doublefault_fn() was old and crufty, and it did not
even try to recover.  do_double_fault() is much nicer.  Rewrite the
32-bit double fault code to sanitize CPU state and call
do_double_fault().  This is mostly an exercise i386 archaeology.

With this patch applied, 32-bit double faults get a real stack trace,
just like 64-bit double faults.

 "This implements a nice simplification of the iopl and ioperm code that

  permissive mode, while trapping CLI/STI/POPF/PUSHF uses in user-space
  if they change the interrupt flag.

  This implements that feature, with testing facilities and related
  cleanups"

[ "Simplification" may be an over-statement. The main goal is to avoid
  the cli/sti of iopl by effectively implementing the IO port access
  parts of iopl in terms of ioperm.

  This may end up not workign well in case people actually depend on
  cli/sti being available, or if there are mixed uses of iopl and

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Cross-arch changes to move the linker sections for NOTES and
     EXCEPTION_TABLE into the RO_DATA area, where they belong on most
     architectures. (Kees Cook)

   - Switch the x86 linker fill byte from x90 (NOP) to 0xcc (INT3), to
     trap jumps into the middle of those padding areas instead of
     sliding execution. (Kees Cook)

   - A thorough cleanup of symbol definitions within x86 assembler code.
     The rather randomly named macros got streamlined around a
     (hopefully) straightforward naming scheme:

        SYM_START(name, linkage, align...)
        SYM_END(name, sym_type)

        SYM_FUNC_START(name)
        SYM_FUNC_END(name)

        SYM_CODE_START(name)
        SYM_CODE_END(name)

        SYM_DATA_START(name)
        SYM_DATA_END(name)

     etc - with about three times of these basic primitives with some
     label, local symbol or attribute variant, expressed via postfixes.

     No change in functionality intended. (Jiri Slaby)

   - Misc other changes, cleanups and smaller fixes"

UNWIND_ESPFIX_STACK needs to read the GDT, and the GDT mapping that
can be accessed via %fs is not mapped in the user pagetables.  Use
SGDT to find the cpu_entry_area mapping and read the espfix offset
from that instead.
