From: Andy Lutomirski <l...@amacapital.net>

3.4.108-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 956421fbb74c3a6261903f3836c0740187cf038b upstream.

'ret_from_fork' checks TIF_IA32 to determine whether 'pt_regs' and
the related state make sense for 'ret_from_sys_call'.  This is
entirely the wrong check.  TS_COMPAT would make a little more
sense, but there's really no point in keeping this optimization
at all.

This fixes a return to the wrong user CS if we came from int
0x80 in a 64-bit task.
