The non-compat codepaths for sys_...msg() verify that MSG_CMSG_COMPAT
is not set. By moving this check to the __sys_...msg() functions
(and making it dependent on a static flag passed to this function), we
can call the __sys...msg() functions instead of the syscall functions
in all cases. __sys_recvmmsg() does not need this trickery, as the
check is handled within the do_sys_recvmmsg() function internal to
net/socket.c.

The syscall entry points to the kernel defined by SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
and COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() should only be called from userspace
through kernel entry points, but not from the kernel itself. This
will allow cleanups and optimizations to the entry paths *and* to
the parts of the kernel code which currently need to pretend to be
userspace in order to make use of syscalls.

Pull x86/pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Yet another pile of melted spectrum related updates:
- Drop native vsyscall support finally as it causes more trouble than
benefit.
- Make microcode loading more robust. There were a few issues
especially related to late loading which are now surfacing because
late loading of the IB* microcodes addressing spectre issues has
become more widely used.
- Simplify and robustify the syscall handling in the entry code
- Prevent kprobes on the entry trampoline code which lead to kernel
crashes when the probe hits before CR3 is updated
- Don't check microcode versions when running on hypervisors as they
are considered as lying anyway.
- Fix the 32bit objtool build and a coment typo"

gpio: rcar: Use wakeup_path i.s.o. explicit clock handling
On the CP110 components which are present on the Armada 7K/8K SoC we need
to explicitly enable the clock for the registers. However it is not
needed for the AP8xx component, that's why this clock is optional.
With this patch both clock have now a name, but in order to be backward
compatible, the name of the first clock is not used. It allows to still
use this clock with a device tree using the old binding.

- A few DM multipath fixes to make non-SCSI optimizations, that were
introduced during the 4.16 merge, useful for all non-SCSI devices,
rather than narrowly define this non-SCSI mode in terms of "nvme".
This allows the removal of "queue_mode nvme" that really didn't need
to be introduced. Instead DM core will internalize whether
nvme-specific IO submission optimizations are doable and DM multipath
will only do SCSI-specific device handler operations if SCSI is in
use.

then put the end of message separator in the wrong place in the
downloaded patch, and I didn’t notice in time. The patch made it into
the official branch, and the only way to fix it in-place was to
rebase. Given the pain that a rebase causes, and the fact that the
patch has relevant tags for stable and syzkaller, a revert of the
munged patch and a reapplication of the original patch with the log
