[PATCH 00/12] x86: Rewrite 64-bit syscall code

[Andy Lutomirski]

This is kind of like the 32-bit and compat code, except that I
preserved the fast path this time.  I was unable to measure any
significant performance change on my laptop in the fast path.

What do you all think?

Andy Lutomirski (12):
  selftests/x86: Extend Makefile to allow 64-bit only tests
  selftests/x86: Add check_initial_reg_state
  x86/syscalls: Refactor syscalltbl.sh
  x86/syscalls: Remove __SYSCALL_COMMON and __SYSCALL_X32
  x86/syscalls: Move compat syscall entry handling into syscalltbl.sh
  x86/syscalls: Add syscall entry qualifiers
  x86/entry/64: Always run ptregs-using syscalls on the slow path
  x86/entry/64: Call all native slow-path syscalls with full pt-regs
  x86/entry/64: Stop using int_ret_from_sys_call in ret_from_fork
  x86/entry/64: Migrate the 64-bit syscall slow path to C
  x86/entry/32: Change INT80 to be an interrupt gate
  x86/entry: Do enter_from_user_mode with IRQs off
