Now that slow-path syscalls always enter C before enabling
interrupts, it's straightforward to call enter_from_user_mode() before
enabling interrupts rather than doing it as part of entry tracing.
With this change, we should finally be able to retire exception_enter().
This will also enable optimizations based on knowing that we never
change context tracking state with interrupts on.

We want all of the syscall entries to run with interrupts off so that
we can efficiently run context tracking before enabling interrupts.
This will regress int $0x80 performance on 32-bit kernels by a
couple of cycles. This shouldn't matter much -- int $0x80 is not a
fast path.
This effectively reverts:
657c1eea0019 ("x86/entry/32: Fix entry_INT80_32() to expect interrupts to be on")
... and fixes the same issue differently.

Now that SYSENTER with TF set puts X86_EFLAGS_TF directly into

Signal delivery needs to know the sign of an interrupted syscall's
return value in order to detect -ERESTART variants. Normally this
works independently of bitness because syscalls internally return
long. Under ptrace, however, this can break, and syscall_get_error
is supposed to sign-extend regs->ax if needed.
We were clearing TS_COMPAT too early, though, and this prevented
sign extension, which subtly broke syscall restart under ptrace.

Move them to a separate header and have the following
dependency:
x86/cpufeatures.h <- x86/processor.h <- x86/cpufeature.h
This makes it easier to use the header in asm code and not
include the whole cpufeature.h and add guards for asm.

This is more complicated than the 32-bit and compat cases
because it preserves an asm fast path for the case where the
callee-saved regs aren't needed in pt_regs and no entry or exit
work needs to be done.
This appears to slow down fastpath syscalls by no more than one
cycle on my Skylake laptop.

It turns out that some Android versions hardcode the SYSENTER
calling convention. This is buggy and will cause problems no
matter what the kernel does. Nonetheless, we should try to
support it.
Credit goes to Linus for pointing out a clean way to handle
the SYSENTER/SYSCALL clobber differences while preserving
straightforward DWARF annotations.
I believe that the original offending Android commit was:

Thanks to Brian Gerst for pointing out that it's better to

If CS, SS and IP are as expected and FLAGS is compatible with
SYSRETL, then return from fast compat syscalls (both SYSCALL and
SYSENTER) using SYSRETL.
Unlike native 64-bit opportunistic SYSRET, this is not invisible
to user code: RCX and R8-R15 end up in a different state than
shown saved in pt_regs. To compensate, we only do this when
returning to the vDSO fast syscall return path. This won't
interfere with syscall restart, as we won't use SYSRETL when
returning to the INT80 restart instruction.

Linus noticed that the early return check was missing
_TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY. If the only work flag was
_TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY, we'd skip user return notifiers. Fix
it. (This is the only missing bit.)
This fixes double faults on a KVM host. It's the same issue as
last time, except that this time it's very easy to trigger.
Apparently no one uses -next as a KVM host.
( I'm still not quite sure what it is that KVM does that blows up
so badly if we miss a user return notifier. My best guess is that KVM
lets KERNEL_GS_BASE (i.e. the user's gs base) be negative and fixes
it up in a user return notifier. If we actually end up in user mode
with a negative gs base, we blow up pretty badly. )

The current x86 entry and exit code, written in a mixture of assembly and
C code, is incomprehensible due to being open-coded in a lot of places
without coherent documentation.
It appears to work primary by luck and duct tape: i.e. obvious runtime
failures were fixed on-demand, without re-thinking the design.
Due to those reasons our confidence level in that code is low, and it is
very difficult to incrementally improve.
Add new code written in C, in preparation for simply deleting the old
entry code.
prepare_exit_to_usermode() is a new function that will handle all
slow path exits to user mode. It is called with IRQs disabled
and it leaves us in a state in which it is safe to immediately
return to user mode. IRQs must not be re-enabled at any point
after prepare_exit_to_usermode() returns and user mode is actually
entered. (We can, of course, fail to enter user mode and treat
that failure as a fresh entry to kernel mode.)
All callers of do_notify_resume() will be migrated to call
prepare_exit_to_usermode() instead; prepare_exit_to_usermode() needs
to do everything that do_notify_resume() does today, but it also
takes care of scheduling and context tracking. Unlike
do_notify_resume(), it does not need to be called in a loop.
syscall_return_slowpath() is exactly what it sounds like: it will
be called on any syscall exit slow path. It will replace
syscall_trace_leave() and it calls prepare_exit_to_usermode() on the
way out.

Changing the x86 context tracking hooks is dangerous because
there are no good checks that we track our context correctly.
Add a helper to check that we're actually in CONTEXT_USER when
we enter from user mode and wire it up for syscall entries.
Subsequent patches will wire this up for all non-NMI entries as
well. NMIs are their own special beast and cannot currently
switch overall context tracking state. Instead, they have their
own special RCU hooks.
This is a tiny speedup if !CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING (removes a
branch) and a tiny slowdown if CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACING (adds a
layer of indirection). Eventually, we should fix up the core
context tracking code to supply a function that does what we
want (and can be much simpler than user_exit), which will enable
us to get rid of the extra call.

The entry and exit C helpers were confusingly scattered between
ptrace.c and signal.c, even though they aren't specific to
ptrace or signal handling. Move them together in a new file.
This change just moves code around. It doesn't change anything.
