12871a1546 checksyscalls: ignore fstat to silence build warning on LoongArch
fstat is replaced by statx on the new architecture, so an exception is
added to the checksyscalls script to silence the following build warning
on LoongArch:

  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
<stdin>:569:2: warning: #warning syscall fstat not implemented [-Wcpp]

checksyscalls: Unconditionally ignore fstat{,at}64
These can be replaced by statx().  Since rv32 has a 64-bit time_t we
just never ended up with them in the first place.  This is now an error
due to -Werror.

c8ce48f065 asm-generic: Make time32 syscall numbers optional
We don't want new architectures to even provide the old 32-bit time_t
based system calls any more, or define the syscall number macros.

Add a new __ARCH_WANT_TIME32_SYSCALLS macro that gets enabled for all
existing 32-bit architectures using the generic system call table,
so we don't change any current behavior.
Since this symbol is evaluated in user space as well, we cannot use
a Kconfig CONFIG_* macro but have to define it in uapi/asm/unistd.h.

On 64-bit architectures, the same system call numbers mostly refer to
the system calls we want to keep, as they already pass 64-bit time_t.

As new architectures no longer provide these, we need new exceptions
in checksyscalls.sh.

80d7da1cac asm-generic: Drop getrlimit and setrlimit syscalls from default list
The newer prlimit64 syscall provides all the functionality of getrlimit
and setrlimit syscalls and adds the pid of target process, so future
architectures won't need to include getrlimit and setrlimit.

Therefore drop getrlimit and setrlimit syscalls from the generic syscall
list unless __ARCH_WANT_SET_GET_RLIMIT is defined by the architecture's
unistd.h prior to including asm-generic/unistd.h, and adjust all
architectures using the generic syscall list to define it so that no
in-tree architectures are affected.

48166e6ea4 y2038: add 64-bit time_t syscalls to all 32-bit architectures
This adds 21 new system calls on each ABI that has 32-bit time_t
today. All of these have the exact same semantics as their existing
counterparts, and the new ones all have macro names that end in 'time64'
for clarification.

This gets us to the point of being able to safely use a C library
that has 64-bit time_t in user space. There are still a couple of
loose ends to tie up in various areas of the code, but this is the
big one, and should be entirely uncontroversial at this point.

In particular, there are four system calls (getitimer, setitimer,
waitid, and getrusage) that don't have a 64-bit counterpart yet,
but these can all be safely implemented in the C library by wrapping
around the existing system calls because the 32-bit time_t they
pass only counts elapsed time, not time since the epoch. They
will be dealt with later.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

d21832e212 kbuild: speed up checksyscalls.sh
checksyscalls.sh is run at every "make" run while building the kernel,
even if no files have changed. I looked at where we spend time in
a trivial empty rebuild and found checksyscalls.sh to be a source
of noticeable overhead, as it spawns a lot of child processes just
to call 'cat' copying from stdin to stdout, once for each of the
over 400 x86 syscalls.

Using a shell-builtin (echo) instead of the external command gives
us a 13x speedup:

    Before		   After
real	0m1.018s       real	0m0.077s
user	0m0.068s       user	0m0.048s
sys	0m0.156s       sys	0m0.024s

The time it took to rebuild a single file on my machine dropped
from 5.5 seconds to 4.5 seconds.

b51cae21ee Add wait4() back to the set of <asm-generic/unistd.h> syscalls.
The initial pass at the generic ABI assumed that wait4() could be
easily expressed using waitid().  Although it's true that wait4()
can be built on waitid(), it's awkward enough that it makes more
sense to continue to include wait4 in the generic syscall ABI.

Since there is already a deprecated wait4 in the ABI, this change
converts that wait4 into old_wait, and puts wait4 in the next
available slot for new supported syscalls, after the platform-specific
syscalls at number 260.

e64a1617ec asm-generic: add a generic unistd.h
A new architecture should only define a minimal set of system
calls while still providing the full functionality. This version
of unistd.h has gone through intensive review to make sure that
by default it only enables syscalls that do not already have
a more featureful replacement.

It is modeled after the x86-64 version of unistd.h, which unifies
the syscall number definition and the actual system call table
in a single file, in order to keep them synchronized much more
easily.

This first version still keeps legacy system call definitions
around, guarded by various #ifdefs, and with numbers larger
than 1024. The idea behind this is to make it easier for
new architectures to transition from a full list to the reduced
set. In particular, the new microblaze architecture that should
migrate to using the generic ABI headers can at least use an
existing uClibc source tree without major rewrites during the
conversion.

edd5cd4a94 Introduce fixed sys_sync_file_range2() syscall, implement on PowerPC and ARM
Not all the world is an i386.  Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be
aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original
sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an
argument register for padding after the first integer.  Since we don't
normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for
the final argument on some architectures.

Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which
all fits nicely.  In fact, ARM already had that, but called it
sys_arm_sync_file_range.  Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement
the needed compatibility routine.  And stop the missing syscall check from
bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented
sys_sync_file_range2() instead.

Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

c53aeca059 kbuild: complain about missing system calls
Most system calls seems to get added to i386 first. This patch
automatically generates a warning for any new system call which is
implemented on i386 but not the architecture currently being compiled.
On PowerPC at the moment, for example, it results in these warnings:
init/missing_syscalls.h:935:3: warning: #warning syscall sync_file_range not implemented
init/missing_syscalls.h:947:3: warning: #warning syscall getcpu not implemented
init/missing_syscalls.h:950:3: warning: #warning syscall epoll_pwait not implemented

The file scripts/checksyscalls.sh list a number of legacy system calls
that are ignored because they only makes sense on i386 systems.

Other contributors to this patch are Russell King <rmk+lkml@arm.linux.org.uk>
and Stéphane Jourdois <kwisatz@rubis.org>
