Merge tag 'x86_asm_for_v5.19_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 asm updates from Borislav Petkov: - A bunch of changes towards streamlining low level asm helpers' calling conventions so that former can be converted to C eventually - Simplify PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS so that it can be used at the system call entry paths instead of having opencoded, slightly different variants of it everywhere - Misc other fixes * tag 'x86_asm_for_v5.19_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/entry: Fix register corruption in compat syscall objtool: Fix STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD reloc type linkage: Fix issue with missing symbol size x86/entry: Remove skip_r11rcx x86/entry: Use PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS for compat x86/entry: Simplify entry_INT80_compat() x86/mm: Simplify RESERVE_BRK() x86/entry: Convert SWAPGS to swapgs and remove the definition of SWAPGS x86/entry: Don't call error_entry() for XENPV x86/entry: Move CLD to the start of the idtentry macro x86/entry: Move PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS out of error_entry() x86/entry: Switch the stack after error_entry() returns x86/traps: Use pt_regs directly in fixup_bad_iret()
