Subject[PATCH 0/9] user_mode_vm removal and associated cleanups
Date
Hi all-

The user_mode vs user_mode_vm distinction scares me. Let's fix it.
This series adds user_mode_ignore_vm86, makes user_mode reliable,
and removes user_mode_vm. It also tidies up a couple warts I found
along the way.

This survives basic testing, but I haven't tried that hard to test it.

Thoughts?

Ingo, this may conflict a bit with the do_debug and do_bounds fixes.

Andy Lutomirski (9):
x86, fault: Use TASK_SIZE_MAX in is_prefetch
x86, perf: Fix incorrect TIF_IA32 check in code_segment_base
x86: Add user_mode_ignore_vm86
x86, perf: Explicitly optimize vm86 handling in code_segment_base
x86, traps: Use user_mode_ignore_vm86 where appropriate
x86: Make user_mode work correctly if regs came from vm86 mode
x86, treewide: s/user_mode_vm/user_mode/g
x86: Remove user_mode_vm
x86, traps: Replace some open-coded vm86 checks with v8086_mode
