[PATCH v2 0/4] Make IA32_EMULATION boot time overridable

[Nikolay Borisov]

Here's the 2nd version of the patch which aims to make IA32_EMULATION essentially
a boot time option. The changes in this posting are:

* Introduced a compile-time option CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION_DEFAULT_DISABLED which
can be set during compile time and can be overriden at boot time via a new
parameter 'ia32_mode'.

* Documented the new parameter as per Thomas' suggestion

* Added a new patch which renames ignore_sysret as per Andrew Cooper's suggestion

* Fixed compat_elf_check_arch condition check to only affect compat process
loading and leave x32 abi processes alone

* Dropped GDT modification as this was deemed a separate change. Likely I'd need
to follow up with a more complete solution.

Nikolay Borisov (4):
  x86: Introduce CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION_DEFAULT_DISABLED Kconfig option
  x86/entry: Rename ignore_sysret and compile it unconditionally
  x86/entry: Disable IA32 syscall if ia32_disabled is true
  x86: Disable laoding 32bit processes if ia32_disabled is true
