The syzbot-reported stack trace from hell in this discussion thread
actually has three nested page faults:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/000000000000d5f4fc0616e816d4@google.com
... and I think that's actually the important thing here:
- the first page fault is from user space, and triggers the vsyscall
emulation.
- the second page fault is from __do_sys_gettimeofday(), and that should
just have caused the exception that then sets the return value to
-EFAULT
- the third nested page fault is due to _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() ->
preempt_schedule() -> trace_sched_switch(), which then causes a BPF
trace program to run, which does that bpf_probe_read_compat(), which
causes that page fault under pagefault_disable().
It's quite the nasty backtrace, and there's a lot going on.
The problem is literally the vsyscall emulation, which sets
current->thread.sig_on_uaccess_err = 1;
and that causes the fixup_exception() code to send the signal *despite* the
exception being caught.
And I think that is in fact completely bogus. It's completely bogus
exactly because it sends that signal even when it *shouldn't* be sent -
like for the BPF user mode trace gathering.
In other words, I think the whole "sig_on_uaccess_err" thing is entirely
broken, because it makes any nested page-faults do all the wrong things.
Now, arguably, I don't think anybody should enable vsyscall emulation any
more, but this test case clearly does.
I think we should just make the "send SIGSEGV" be something that the
vsyscall emulation does on its own, not this broken per-thread state for
something that isn't actually per thread.
The x86 page fault code actually tried to deal with the "incorrect nesting"
by having that:
if (in_interrupt())
return;
which ignores the sig_on_uaccess_err case when it happens in interrupts,
but as shown by this example, these nested page faults do not need to be
about interrupts at all.
IOW, I think the only right thing is to remove that horrendously broken
code.
The attached patch looks like the ObviouslyCorrect(tm) thing to do.
NOTE! This broken code goes back to this commit in 2011:
4fc3490114bb ("x86-64: Set siginfo and context on vsyscall emulation faults")
... and back then the reason was to get all the siginfo details right.
Honestly, I do not for a moment believe that it's worth getting the siginfo
details right here, but part of the commit says:
This fixes issues with UML when vsyscall=emulate.
... and so my patch to remove this garbage will probably break UML in this
situation.
I do not believe that anybody should be running with vsyscall=emulate in
2024 in the first place, much less if you are doing things like UML. But
let's see if somebody screams.

Add a FRED-specific INT80 handler and document why it differs from the
current one. Eventually, the common bits will be unified once FRED hw is
available and it turns out that no further changes are needed but for
now, keep the handlers separate for everyone's sanity's sake.

Branch History Injection (BHI) attacks may allow a malicious application to
influence indirect branch prediction in kernel by poisoning the branch
history. eIBRS isolates indirect branch targets in ring0. The BHB can
still influence the choice of indirect branch predictor entry, and although
branch predictor entries are isolated between modes when eIBRS is enabled,
the BHB itself is not isolated between modes.
Alder Lake and new processors supports a hardware control BHI_DIS_S to
mitigate BHI. For older processors Intel has released a software sequence
to clear the branch history on parts that don't support BHI_DIS_S. Add
support to execute the software sequence at syscall entry and VMexit to
overwrite the branch history.
For now, branch history is not cleared at interrupt entry, as malicious
applications are not believed to have sufficient control over the
registers, since previous register state is cleared at interrupt
entry. Researchers continue to poke at this area and it may become
necessary to clear at interrupt entry as well in the future.
This mitigation is only defined here. It is enabled later.

Make <asm/syscall.h> build a switch statement instead, and the compiler can
either decide to generate an indirect jump, or - more likely these days due
to mitigations - just a series of conditional branches.
Yes, the conditional branches also have branch prediction, but the branch
prediction is much more controlled, in that it just causes speculatively
running the wrong system call (harmless), rather than speculatively running
possibly wrong random less controlled code gadgets.
This doesn't mitigate other indirect calls, but the system call indirection
is the first and most easily triggered case.

Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change is the rework of the percpu code, to support the
'Named Address Spaces' GCC feature, by Uros Bizjak:
- This allows C code to access GS and FS segment relative memory
via variables declared with such attributes, which allows the
compiler to better optimize those accesses than the previous
inline assembly code.
- The series also includes a number of micro-optimizations for
various percpu access methods, plus a number of cleanups of %gs
accesses in assembly code.
- These changes have been exposed to linux-next testing for the
last ~5 months, with no known regressions in this area.
- Fix/clean up __switch_to()'s broken but accidentally working handling
of FPU switching - which also generates better code
- Propagate more RIP-relative addressing in assembly code, to generate
slightly better code

Pull x86 entry update from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single update for the x86 entry code:
The current CR3 handling for kernel page table isolation in the
paranoid return paths which are relevant for #NMI, #MCE, #VC, #DB and
#DF is unconditionally writing CR3 with the value retrieved on
exception entry.
In the vast majority of cases when returning to the kernel this is a
pointless exercise because CR3 was not modified on exception entry.
The only situation where this is necessary is when the exception
interrupts a entry from user before switching to kernel CR3 or
interrupts an exit to user after switching back to user CR3.
As CR3 writes can be expensive on some systems this becomes measurable
overhead with high frequency #NMIs such as perf.
Avoid this overhead by checking the CR3 value, which was saved on
entry, and write it back to CR3 only when it is a user CR3"

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
"Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).
FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:
1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
in nested exception scenarios.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
of #NMI code to handle this.
3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.
4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
stack trace.
5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment
6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
on large systems.
7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources
FRED addresses these shortcomings by:
1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
complexity of preserving it in software.
2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
exception uses the currently interrupt stack.
3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
per CPU variable access is done in hardware.
4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
return from NMI.
5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP
6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
the vector space restriction.
The first hardware implementations will still have the current
restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
further changes to the local APIC.
7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
required local APIC changes are in place.
The series implements the initial FRED support by:
- Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.
- Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
requires to store context and meta information
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.
- Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE
- Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
demultiplex the events
- Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.
The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.
It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"

The vDSO (and its initial randomization) was introduced in commit 2aae950b21e4
("x86_64: Add vDSO for x86-64 with gettimeofday/clock_gettime/getcpu"), but
had very low entropy. The entropy was improved in commit 394f56fe4801
("x86_64, vdso: Fix the vdso address randomization algorithm"), but there
is still improvement to be made.
In principle there should not be executable code at a low entropy offset
from the stack, since the stack and executable code having separate
randomization is part of what makes ASLR stronger.
Remove the only executable code near the stack region and give the vDSO
the same randomized base as other mmap mappings including the linker
and other shared objects. This results in higher entropy being provided
and there's little to no advantage in separating this from the existing
executable code there. This is already how other architectures like
arm64 handle the vDSO.
As an side, while it's sensible for userspace to reserve the initial mmap
base as a region for executable code with a random gap for other mmap
allocations, along with providing randomization within that region, there
isn't much the kernel can do to help due to how dynamic linkers load the
shared objects.
This was extracted from the PaX RANDMMAP feature.

Commit 54b8ae66ae1a ("kbuild: change *FLAGS_<basetarget>.o to take the
path relative to $(obj)") changed the syntax of per-file compiler flags.
The situation is the same for the following variables:
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_<basetarget>.o
GCOV_PROFILE_<basetarget>.o
KASAN_SANITIZE_<basetarget>.o
KMSAN_SANITIZE_<basetarget>.o
KMSAN_ENABLE_CHECKS_<basetarget>.o
UBSAN_SANITIZE_<basetarget>.o
KCOV_INSTRUMENT_<basetarget>.o
KCSAN_SANITIZE_<basetarget>.o
KCSAN_INSTRUMENT_BARRIERS_<basetarget>.o
The <basetarget> is the filename of the target with its directory and
suffix stripped.
This syntax comes into a trouble when two files with the same basename
appear in one Makefile, for example:
obj-y += dir1/foo.o
obj-y += dir2/foo.o
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_foo.o := y
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_foo.o is applied to both dir1/foo.o and
dir2/foo.o. This syntax is not flexbile enough to handle cases where
one of them is a standard object, but the other is not.
It is more sensible to use the relative path to the Makefile, like this:
obj-y += dir1/foo.o
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_dir1/foo.o := y
obj-y += dir2/foo.o
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_dir2/foo.o := y
To maintain the current behavior, I made adjustments to the following two
Makefiles:
- arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile, which compiles vclock_gettime.o, vgetcpu.o,
and their vdso32 variants.
- arch/x86/kvm/Makefile, which compiles vmx/vmenter.o and svm/vmenter.o

For CONFIG_RETHUNK kernels, objtool annotates all the function return
sites so they can be patched during boot. By design, after
apply_returns() is called, all tail-calls to the compiler-generated
default return thunk (__x86_return_thunk) should be patched out and
replaced with whatever's needed for any mitigations (or lack thereof).
The commit
4461438a8405 ("x86/retpoline: Ensure default return thunk isn't used at runtime")
adds a runtime check and a WARN_ONCE() if the default return thunk ever
gets executed after alternatives have been applied. This warning is
a sanity check to make sure objtool and apply_returns() are doing their
job.
As Nathan reported, that check found something:
Unpatched return thunk in use. This should not happen!

Boris debugged to find that the unpatched return site was in
init_vdso_image_64(), and its translation unit wasn't being analyzed by
objtool, so it never got annotated. So it got ignored by
apply_returns().
This is only a minor issue, as this function is only called during boot.
Still, objtool needs full visibility to the kernel. Fix it by enabling
objtool on vdso-image-{32,64}.o.
Note this problem can only be seen with !CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT, as that
requires objtool to run individually on all translation units rather on
vmlinux.o.

Mitigation for MDS is to use VERW instruction to clear any secrets in
CPU Buffers. Any memory accesses after VERW execution can still remain
in CPU buffers. It is safer to execute VERW late in return to user path
to minimize the window in which kernel data can end up in CPU buffers.
There are not many kernel secrets to be had after SWITCH_TO_USER_CR3.
Add support for deploying VERW mitigation after user register state is
restored. This helps minimize the chances of kernel data ending up into
CPU buffers after executing VERW.
Note that the mitigation at the new location is not yet enabled.
Corner case not handled
=======================
Interrupts returning to kernel don't clear CPUs buffers since the
exit-to-user path is expected to do that anyways. But, there could be
a case when an NMI is generated in kernel after the exit-to-user path
has cleared the buffers. This case is not handled and NMI returning to
kernel don't clear CPU buffers because:
1. It is rare to get an NMI after VERW, but before returning to userspace.
2. For an unprivileged user, there is no known way to make that NMI
less rare or target it.
3. It would take a large number of these precisely-timed NMIs to mount
an actual attack. There's presumably not enough bandwidth.
4. The NMI in question occurs after a VERW, i.e. when user state is
restored and most interesting data is already scrubbed. Whats left
is only the data that NMI touches, and that may or may not be of
any interest.

MDS mitigation requires clearing the CPU buffers before returning to
user. This needs to be done late in the exit-to-user path. Current
location of VERW leaves a possibility of kernel data ending up in CPU
buffers for memory accesses done after VERW such as:
1. Kernel data accessed by an NMI between VERW and return-to-user can
remain in CPU buffers since NMI returning to kernel does not
execute VERW to clear CPU buffers.
2. Alyssa reported that after VERW is executed,
CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK=y scrubs the stack used by a system
call. Memory accesses during stack scrubbing can move kernel stack
contents into CPU buffers.
3. When caller saved registers are restored after a return from
function executing VERW, the kernel stack accesses can remain in
CPU buffers(since they occur after VERW).
To fix this VERW needs to be moved very late in exit-to-user path.
In preparation for moving VERW to entry/exit asm code, create macros
that can be used in asm. Also make VERW patching depend on a new feature
flag X86_FEATURE_CLEAR_CPU_BUF.

If the stack frame contains an invalid user context (e.g. due to invalid SS,
a non-canonical RIP, etc.) the ERETU instruction will trap (#SS or #GP).
From a Linux point of view, this really should be considered a user space
failure, so use the standard fault fixup mechanism to intercept the fault,
fix up the exception frame, and redirect execution to fred_entrypoint_user.
The end result is that it appears just as if the hardware had taken the
exception immediately after completing the transition to user space.

FRED. It is split up into two files thus:
- entry_64_fred.S contains the actual entrypoints and exit code, and
saves and restores registers.
- entry_fred.c contains the two-level event dispatch code for FRED.
The first-level dispatch is on the event type, and the second-level
is on the event vector.

struct pt_regs is hard to read because the member or section related
comments are not aligned with the members.
The 'cs' and 'ss' members of pt_regs are type of 'unsigned long' while
in reality they are only 16-bit wide. This works so far as the
remaining space is unused, but FRED will use the remaining bits for
other purposes.
To prepare for FRED:
- Cleanup the formatting
- Convert 'cs' and 'ss' to u16 and embed them into an union
with a u64
- Fixup the related printk() format strings

The CR3 restore happens in:
1. #NMI return.
2. paranoid_exit() (i.e. #MCE, #VC, #DB and #DF return)
Contrary to the implication in commit 21e94459110252 ("x86/mm: Optimize
RESTORE_CR3"), the kernel never modifies CR3 in any of these exceptions,
except for switching from user to kernel pagetables under PTI. That
means that most of the time when returning from an exception that
interrupted the kernel no CR3 restore is necessary. Writing CR3 is
expensive on some machines.
Most of the time because the interrupt might have come during kernel entry
before the user to kernel CR3 switch or the during exit after the kernel to
user switch. In the former case skipping the restore would be correct, but
definitely not for the latter.
So check the saved CR3 value and restore it only, if it is a user CR3.
Give the macro a new name to clarify its usage, and remove a comment that
was describing the original behaviour along with the not longer needed jump
label.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm
Pull security module updates from Paul Moore:
- Add three new syscalls: lsm_list_modules(), lsm_get_self_attr(), and
lsm_set_self_attr().
The first syscall simply lists the LSMs enabled, while the second and
third get and set the current process' LSM attributes. Yes, these
syscalls may provide similar functionality to what can be found under
/proc or /sys, but they were designed to support multiple,
simultaneaous (stacked) LSMs from the start as opposed to the current
/proc based solutions which were created at a time when only one LSM
was allowed to be active at a given time.
We have spent considerable time discussing ways to extend the
existing /proc interfaces to support multiple, simultaneaous LSMs and
even our best ideas have been far too ugly to support as a kernel
API; after +20 years in the kernel, I felt the LSM layer had
established itself enough to justify a handful of syscalls.
Support amongst the individual LSM developers has been nearly
unanimous, with a single objection coming from Tetsuo (TOMOYO) as he
is worried that the LSM_ID_XXX token concept will make it more
difficult for out-of-tree LSMs to survive. Several members of the LSM
community have demonstrated the ability for out-of-tree LSMs to
continue to exist by picking high/unused LSM_ID values as well as
pointing out that many kernel APIs rely on integer identifiers, e.g.
syscalls (!), but unfortunately Tetsuo's objections remain.
My personal opinion is that while I have no interest in penalizing
out-of-tree LSMs, I'm not going to penalize in-tree development to
support out-of-tree development, and I view this as a necessary step
forward to support the push for expanded LSM stacking and reduce our
reliance on /proc and /sys which has occassionally been problematic
for some container users. Finally, we have included the linux-api
folks on (all?) recent revisions of the patchset and addressed all of
their concerns.
- Add a new security_file_ioctl_compat() LSM hook to handle the 32-bit
ioctls on 64-bit systems problem.
This patch includes support for all of the existing LSMs which
provide ioctl hooks, although it turns out only SELinux actually
cares about the individual ioctls. It is worth noting that while
Casey (Smack) and Tetsuo (TOMOYO) did not give explicit ACKs to this
patch, they did both indicate they are okay with the changes.
- Fix a potential memory leak in the CALIPSO code when IPv6 is disabled
at boot.
While it's good that we are fixing this, I doubt this is something
users are seeing in the wild as you need to both disable IPv6 and
then attempt to configure IPv6 labeled networking via
NetLabel/CALIPSO; that just doesn't make much sense.
Normally this would go through netdev, but Jakub asked me to take
this patch and of all the trees I maintain, the LSM tree seemed like
the best fit.
- Update the LSM MAINTAINERS entry with additional information about
our process docs, patchwork, bug reporting, etc.
I also noticed that the Lockdown LSM is missing a dedicated
MAINTAINERS entry so I've added that to the pull request. I've been
working with one of the major Lockdown authors/contributors to see if
they are willing to step up and assume a Lockdown maintainer role;
hopefully that will happen soon, but in the meantime I'll continue to
look after it.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to retrieve detailed information about mounts
via two new system calls. This is hopefully the beginning of the end
of the saga that started with fsinfo() years ago.
The LWN articles in [1] and [2] can serve as a summary so we can avoid
rehashing everything here.
At LSFMM in May 2022 we got into a room and agreed on what we want to
do about fsinfo(). Basically, split it into pieces. This is the first
part of that agreement. Specifically, it is concerned with retrieving
information about mounts. So this only concerns the mount information
retrieval, not the mount table change notification, or the extended
filesystem specific mount option work. That is separate work.
Currently mounts have a 32bit id. Mount ids are already in heavy use
by libmount and other low-level userspace but they can't be relied
upon because they're recycled very quickly. We agreed that mounts
should carry a unique 64bit id by which they can be referenced
directly. This is now implemented as part of this work.
The new 64bit mount id is exposed in statx() through the new
STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE flag. If the flag isn't raised the old mount id is
returned. If it is raised and the kernel supports the new 64bit mount
id the flag is raised in the result mask and the new 64bit mount id is
returned. New and old mount ids do not overlap so they cannot be
conflated.
Two new system calls are introduced that operate on the 64bit mount
id: statmount() and listmount(). A summary of the api and usage can be
found on LWN as well (cf. [3]) but of course, I'll provide a summary
here as well.
Both system calls rely on struct mnt_id_req. Which is the request
struct used to pass the 64bit mount id identifying the mount to
operate on. It is extensible to allow for the addition of new
parameters and for future use in other apis that make use of mount
ids.
statmount() mimicks the semantics of statx() and exposes a set flags
that userspace may raise in mnt_id_req to request specific information
to be retrieved. A statmount() call returns a struct statmount filled
in with information about the requested mount. Supported requests are
indicated by raising the request flag passed in struct mnt_id_req in
the @mask argument in struct statmount.
Currently we do support:
- STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC:
Basic filesystem info
- STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC
Mount information (mount id, parent mount id, mount attributes etc)
- STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM
Propagation from what mount in current namespace
- STATMOUNT_MNT_ROOT
Path of the root of the mount (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /bla)
- STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT
Path of the mount point (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /mnt)
- STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
Name of the filesystem type as the magic number isn't enough due to submounts
The string options STATMOUNT_MNT_{ROOT,POINT} and STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
are appended to the end of the struct. Userspace can use the offsets
in @fs_type, @mnt_root, and @mnt_point to reference those strings
easily.
The struct statmount reserves quite a bit of space currently for
future extensibility. This isn't really a problem and if this bothers
us we can just send a follow-up pull request during this cycle.
listmount() is given a 64bit mount id via mnt_id_req just as
statmount(). It takes a buffer and a size to return an array of the
64bit ids of the child mounts of the requested mount. Userspace can
thus choose to either retrieve child mounts for a mount in batches or
iterate through the child mounts. For most use-cases it will be
sufficient to just leave space for a few child mounts. But for big
mount tables having an iterator is really helpful. Iterating through a
mount table works by setting @param in mnt_id_req to the mount id of
the last child mount retrieved in the previous listmount() call"

The INT 0x80 instruction is used for 32-bit x86 Linux syscalls. The
kernel expects to receive a software interrupt as a result of the INT
0x80 instruction. However, an external interrupt on the same vector
also triggers the same codepath.
An external interrupt on vector 0x80 will currently be interpreted as a
32-bit system call, and assuming that it was a user context.
Panic on external interrupts on the vector.
To distinguish software interrupts from external ones, the kernel checks
the APIC ISR bit relevant to the 0x80 vector. For software interrupts,
this bit will be 0.

There is no real reason to have a separate ASM entry point implementation
for the legacy INT 0x80 syscall emulation on 64-bit.
IDTENTRY provides all the functionality needed with the only difference
that it does not:
- save the syscall number (AX) into pt_regs::orig_ax
- set pt_regs::ax to -ENOSYS
Both can be done safely in the C code of an IDTENTRY before invoking any of
the syscall related functions which depend on this convention.
Aside of ASM code reduction this prepares for detecting and handling a
local APIC injected vector 0x80.

The VDSO functions are defined as globals in the kernel sources but intended
to be called from userspace, so there is no need to declare them in a kernel
side header.
Without a prototype, this now causes warnings such as
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:14:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:28:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:36:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_getres' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:42:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime64' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:254:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:282:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime_stick' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:343:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday_stick' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
Most architectures have already added workarounds for these by adding
declarations somewhere, but since these are all compatible, we should
really just have one copy, with an #ifdef check for the 32-bit vs
64-bit variant and use that everywhere.
Unfortunately, the sparc an um versions are currently incompatible
since they never added support for __vdso_clock_gettime64() in 32-bit
userland. For the moment, I'm leaving this one out, as I can't
easily test it and it requires a larger rework.

The code in common_interrupt_return() does a bunch of unconditional
work that is really only needed on PTI kernels. Specifically it
unconditionally copies the IRET frame back onto the entry stack,
swizzles onto the entry stack and does IRET from there.
However, without PTI we can simply IRET from whatever stack we're on.
