Linus Torvalds 1ac0884d54 A set of updates for entry/exit handling:
- More generalization of entry/exit functionality
 
  - The consolidation work to reclaim TIF flags on x86 and also for non-x86
    specific TIF flags which are solely relevant for syscall related work
    and have been moved into their own storage space. The x86 specific part
    had to be merged in to avoid a major conflict.
 
  - The TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL work which replaces the inefficient signal
    delivery mode of task work and results in an impressive performance
    improvement for io_uring. The non-x86 consolidation of this is going to
    come seperate via Jens.
 
  - The selective syscall redirection facility which provides a clean and
    efficient way to support the non-Linux syscalls of WINE by catching them
    at syscall entry and redirecting them to the user space emulation. This
    can be utilized for other purposes as well and has been designed
    carefully to avoid overhead for the regular fastpath. This includes the
    core changes and the x86 support code.
 
  - Simplification of the context tracking entry/exit handling for the users
    of the generic entry code which guarantee the proper ordering and
    protection.
 
  - Preparatory changes to make the generic entry code accomodate S390
    specific requirements which are mostly related to their syscall restart
    mechanism.
