commit 40a1ef95da85843696fc3ebe5fce39b0db32669f upstream.

For some reason they didn't get replaced so far by their
paravirt equivalents, resulting in code to be run with
interrupts disabled that doesn't expect so (causing, in the
observed case, a BUG_ON() to trigger) when syscall auditing is
enabled.

David (Cc-ed) came up with an identical fix, so likely this can
be taken to count as an ack from him.

<title>x86, compat: Use test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) in compat signal delivery</title>

commit 0b91f45b23cb73ce11acdc3cf4c6efd4441e3b3e upstream.

Signal delivery compat path may not have the 'TS_COMPAT' flag (that
flag indicates how we entered the kernel).  So use
test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) instead of is_ia32_task(): one of the
functions of TIF_IA32 is just what kind of signal frame we want.

<title>VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function</title>

This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.

This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c.  But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.

Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead.  We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

It does the same thing as "do_brk()", except it handles the VM locking
too.

It turns out that all external callers want that anyway, so we can make
do_brk() static to just mm/mmap.c while at it.

Pull x86 cleanups from Peter Anvin:
 "The biggest textual change is the cleanup to use symbolic constants
  for x86 trap values.

  The only *functional* change and the reason for the x86/x32 dependency
  is the move of is_ia32_task() into &lt;asm/thread_info.h&gt; so that it can
  be used in other code that needs to understand if a system call comes
  from the compat entry point (and therefore uses i386 system call
  numbers) or not.  One intended user for that is the BPF system call
  filter.  Moving it out of &lt;asm/compat.h&gt; means we can define it
  unconditionally, returning always true on i386."
