Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fix from Ingo Molnar:
"Fix x86 syscall exit code bug that resulted in spurious non-execution
of TIF-driven user-return worklets, causing big trouble for things
like KVM that rely on user notifiers for correctness of their vcpu
model, causing crashes like double faults"
* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/asm/entry: Check for syscall exit work with IRQs disabled
