The non-compat codepaths for sys_...msg() verify that MSG_CMSG_COMPAT
is not set. By moving this check to the __sys_...msg() functions
(and making it dependent on a static flag passed to this function), we
can call the __sys...msg() functions instead of the syscall functions
in all cases. __sys_recvmmsg() does not need this trickery, as the
check is handled within the do_sys_recvmmsg() function internal to
net/socket.c.

The syscall entry points to the kernel defined by SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
and COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() should only be called from userspace
through kernel entry points, but not from the kernel itself. This
will allow cleanups and optimizations to the entry paths *and* to
the parts of the kernel code which currently need to pretend to be
userspace in order to make use of syscalls.

"Yet another pile of melted spectrum related updates:
- Drop native vsyscall support finally as it causes more trouble than
benefit.
- Make microcode loading more robust. There were a few issues
especially related to late loading which are now surfacing because
late loading of the IB* microcodes addressing spectre issues has
become more widely used.
- Simplify and robustify the syscall handling in the entry code
- Prevent kprobes on the entry trampoline code which lead to kernel
crashes when the probe hits before CR3 is updated
- Don't check microcode versions when running on hypervisors as they
are considered as lying anyway.
- Fix the 32bit objtool build and a coment typo"

Pull timer fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"Just a single fix which adds a missing Kconfig dependency to avoid
unmet dependency warnings"
* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
clocksource/atmel-st: Add 'depends on HAS_IOMEM' to fix unmet dependency
Pull RAS fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two small fixes for RAS/MCE:
- Serialize sysfs changes to avoid concurrent modificaiton of
underlying data
- Add microcode revision to Machine Check records. This should have
been there forever, but now with the broken microcode versions in
the wild it has become important"

Pull perf updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Another set of perf updates:
- Fix a Skylake Uncore event format declaration
- Prevent perf pipe mode from crahsing which was caused by a missing
buffer allocation
- Make the perf top popup message which tells the user that it uses
fallback mode on older kernels a debug message.
- Make perf context rescheduling work correcctly
- Robustify the jump error drawing in perf browser mode so it does
not try to create references to NULL initialized offset entries
- Make trigger_on() robust so it does not enable the trigger before
everything is set up correctly to handle it
- Make perf auxtrace respect the --no-itrace option so it does not
try to queue AUX data for decoding.
- Prevent having different number of field separators in CVS output
lines when a counter is not supported.
- Make the perf kallsyms man page usage behave like it does for all
other perf commands.
- Synchronize the kernel headers"

Pull locking fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"rt_mutex_futex_unlock() grew a new irq-off call site, but the function
assumes that its always called from irq enabled context.
Use (un)lock_irqsafe() to handle the new call site correctly"

- fix max_chunk_size for rcar-dmac for R-Car Gen3
- fix clock resource of mv_xor_v2
