x86/compat: Adjust in_compat_syscall() to generic code under !COMPAT
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 a18069c132cb ("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().
