3.16.7-ckt9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 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.
