Merge tag 'x86-urgent-2020-10-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A couple of x86 fixes which missed rc1 due to my stupidity:

   - Drop lazy TLB mode before switching to the temporary address space
     for text patching.

     text_poke() switches to the temporary mm which clears the lazy mode
     and restores the original mm afterwards. Due to clearing lazy mode
     this might restore a already dead mm if exit_mmap() runs in
     parallel on another CPU.

   - Document the x32 syscall design fail vs. syscall numbers 512-547
     properly.

   - Fix the ORC unwinder to handle the inactive task frame correctly.

     This was unearthed due to the slightly different code generation of
     gcc-10.

   - Use an up to date screen_info for the boot params of kexec instead
     of the possibly stale and invalid version which happened to be
     valid when the kexec kernel was loaded"
