[PATCH 0/2] x86: Rewrite ret_from_fork() in C

[Brian Gerst]

When kCFI is enabled, special handling is needed for the indirect call
to the kernel thread function.  Handling this in pure assembly is not
simple, so moving it to C is more appropriate.  Instead of moving just
the indirect call to C as Peter Zijlstra has proposed, this patchset
rewrites the whole ret_from_fork() function in C (other than some
necessary asm glue remaning).
