Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of fixes for x86:

   - Fix the bogus detection of 32bit user mode for uretprobes which
     caused corruption of the user return address resulting in
     application crashes. In the uprobes handler in_ia32_syscall() is
     obviously always returning false on a 64bit kernel. Use
     user_64bit_mode() instead which works correctly.

   - Prevent large page splitting when ftrace flips RW/RO on the kernel
     text which caused iTLB performance issues. Ftrace wants to be
     converted to text_poke() which avoids the problem, but for now
     allow large page preservation in the static protections check when
     the change request spawns a full large page.

   - Prevent arch_dynirq_lower_bound() from returning 0 when the IOAPIC
     is configured via device tree. In the device tree case the GSI 1:1
     mapping is meaningless therefore the lower bound which protects the
     GSI range on ACPI machines is irrelevant. Return the lower bound
     which the core hands to the function instead of blindly returning 0
     which causes the core to allocate the invalid virtual interupt
     number 0 which in turn prevents all drivers from allocating and
     requesting an interrupt.

   - Remove the bogus initialization of LDR and DFR in the 32bit bigsmp
     APIC driver. That uses physical destination mode where LDR/DFR are
     ignored, but the initialization and the missing clear of LDR caused
     the APIC to be left in a inconsistent state on kexec/reboot.

   - Clear LDR when clearing the APIC registers so the APIC is in a well
     defined state.

   - Initialize variables proper in the find_trampoline_placement()
     code.

   - Silence GCC( build warning for the real mode part of the build"
