Subject: [PATCH 0/3] x86/pti-ish syscall cleanups

Three changes in here:
 - Get rid of the SYSCALL64 fast path as suggested by Linus.

 - Move TS_COMPAT into the same cacheline as thread_info::flags, also
   suggested by Linus.

 - Document SYSCALL_DEFINE a bit better.

Andy Lutomirski (3):
  x86/entry/64: Remove the SYSCALL64 fast path
  x86/asm: Move 'status' from thread_struct to thread_info
  syscalls: Add a bit of documentation to __SYSCALL_DEFINE
