    x86/compat: Adjust in_compat_syscall() to generic code under !COMPAT · a846446b
    Dmitry Safonov authored
    The result of in_compat_syscall() can be pictured as:
    
    x86 platform:
        ---------------------------------------------------
        |  Arch\syscall  |  64-bit  |   ia32   |   x32    |
        |-------------------------------------------------|
        |     x86_64     |  false   |   true   |   true   |
        |-------------------------------------------------|
        |      i686      |          |  <true>  |          |
        ---------------------------------------------------
    
    Other platforms:
        -------------------------------------------
        |  Arch\syscall  |  64-bit  |   compat    |
        |-----------------------------------------|
        |     64-bit     |  false   |    true     |
        |-----------------------------------------|
        |    32-bit(?)   |          |   <false>   |
        -------------------------------------------
    
    As seen, the result of in_compat_syscall() on generic 32-bit platform
    differs from i686.
    
    There is no reason for in_compat_syscall() == true on native i686.  It also
    easy to misread code if the result on native 32-bit platform differs
    between arches.
    
    Because of that non arch-specific code has many places with:
        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPAT) && in_compat_syscall())
    in different variations.
    
    It looks-like the only non-x86 code which uses in_compat_syscall() not
    under CONFIG_COMPAT guard is in amd/amdkfd. But according to the commit
    a18069c1 ("amdkfd: Disable support for 32-bit user processes"), it
    actually should be disabled on native i686.
    
    Rename in_compat_syscall() to in_32bit_syscall() for x86-specific code
    and make in_compat_syscall() false under !CONFIG_COMPAT.
    
    A follow on patch will clean up generic users which were forced to check
    IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_COMPAT) with in_compat_syscall().
