Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] Handle IST interrupts from userspace on the normal stack

We currently run IST interrupt handlers on the IST stack.  Changing
it may simplify a few things.  See patch 2 for details.

Patch 1 is a fix for a not-quite-bug in uprobes that Oleg noticed
that would be exposed by patch 2.

NB: Tony has seen odd behavior when stress-testing injected
machine checks with this series applied.  I suspect that
it's a bug in something else, possibly his BIOS.  Bugs in
this series shouldn't be ruled out, though.

Andy Lutomirski (3):
  uprobes, x86: Fix _TIF_UPROBE vs _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
  x86, entry: Switch stacks on a paranoid entry from userspace
  sched, x86: Check that we're on the right stack in schedule and
    __might_sleep
