Pull core entry/exit updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of updates for entry/exit handling:

   - More generalization of entry/exit functionality

   - The consolidation work to reclaim TIF flags on x86 and also for
     non-x86 specific TIF flags which are solely relevant for syscall
     related work and have been moved into their own storage space. The
     x86 specific part had to be merged in to avoid a major conflict.

   - The TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL work which replaces the inefficient signal
     delivery mode of task work and results in an impressive performance
     improvement for io_uring. The non-x86 consolidation of this is
     going to come seperate via Jens.

   - The selective syscall redirection facility which provides a clean
     and efficient way to support the non-Linux syscalls of WINE by
     catching them at syscall entry and redirecting them to the user
     space emulation. This can be utilized for other purposes as well
     and has been designed carefully to avoid overhead for the regular
     fastpath. This includes the core changes and the x86 support code.

   - Simplification of the context tracking entry/exit handling for the
     users of the generic entry code which guarantee the proper ordering
     and protection.

   - Preparatory changes to make the generic entry code accomodate S390
     specific requirements which are mostly related to their syscall
     restart mechanism"
