Merge tag 'x86-urgent-2020-10-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A couple of x86 fixes which missed rc1 due to my stupidity:
- Drop lazy TLB mode before switching to the temporary address space
for text patching.
text_poke() switches to the temporary mm which clears the lazy mode
and restores the original mm afterwards. Due to clearing lazy mode
this might restore a already dead mm if exit_mmap() runs in
parallel on another CPU.
- Document the x32 syscall design fail vs. syscall numbers 512-547
properly.
- Fix the ORC unwinder to handle the inactive task frame correctly.
This was unearthed due to the slightly different code generation of
gcc-10.
- Use an up to date screen_info for the boot params of kexec instead
of the possibly stale and invalid version which happened to be
valid when the kexec kernel was loaded"
