[GIT PULL] x86/entry for 6.18-rc1

[Dave Hansen]

Hi Linus,

Please a pair of x86/entry changes for 6.18-rc1. The FRED one adjusts
the kernel to the latest spec. The spec change prevents attackers from
abusing kernel entry points.

The second one came about because of the LASS work[1]. It moves the
vsyscall emulation code away from depending on X86_PF_INSTR which is
not available on some CPUs. Those CPUs are pretty obscure these days,
but this still seems like the right thing to do. It also makes this
code consistent with some things that the LASS code is going to do.
