Merge tag 'x86-entry-2020-03-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Convert the 32bit syscalls to be pt_regs based which removes the
   requirement to push all 6 potential arguments onto the stack and
   consolidates the interface with the 64bit variant

 - The first small portion of the exception and syscall related entry
   code consolidation which aims to address the recently discovered
   issues vs. RCU, int3, NMI and some other exceptions which can
   interrupt any context. The bulk of the changes is still work in
   progress and aimed for 5.8.

 - A few lockdep namespace cleanups which have been applied into this
   branch to keep the prerequisites for the ongoing work confined.
