[ Upstream commit f71e1d2ff8e6a183bd4004bc97c453ba527b7dc6 ] The SYSCALL instruction cannot really be disabled in compatibility mode. The best that can be done is to configure the CSTAR msr to point to a minimal handler. Currently this handler has a rather misleading name - ignore_sysret() as it's not really doing anything with sysret. Give it a more descriptive name.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
