Commit fcc8487d477a3452a1d0ccbdd4c5e0e1e3cb8bed ("uapi: export all headers
under uapi directories") changed the default to install all headers not marked
to be conditional. This takes the list of headers listed in the commit message
and manually adds an export for those that are already present in this kernel
version.

Found during an attempt to build mtd-utils 2.1.2 as it wants hash_info.h, which
exists since 3.13 but has not been installed until the above mentioned commit,
which ended up in 4.12.

<title>MIPS: Initial implementation of a VDSO</title>

<id>ebb5e78cc63417a35254a791de66e1cc84f963cc</id>
<content type='text'>
Add an initial implementation of a proper (i.e. an ELF shared library)
VDSO. With this commit it does not export any symbols, it only replaces
the current signal return trampoline page. A later commit will add user
implementations of gettimeofday()/clock_gettime().

To support both new toolchains and old ones which don't generate ABI
flags section, we define its content manually and then use a tool
(genvdso) to patch up the section to have the correct name and type.
genvdso also extracts symbol offsets ({,rt_}sigreturn) needed by the
kernel, and generates a C file containing a "struct mips_vdso_image"
containing both the VDSO data and these offsets. This C file is
compiled into the kernel.

On 64-bit kernels we require a different VDSO for each supported ABI,
so we may build up to 3 different VDSOs. The VDSO to use is selected by
the mips_abi structure.

A kernel/user shared data page is created and mapped below the VDSO
image. This is currently empty, but will be used by the user time
function implementations which are added later.

[markos.chandras@imgtec.com:
- Add more comments
- Move abi detection in genvdso.h since it's the get_symbol function
that needs it.
- Add an R6 specific way to calculate the base address of VDSO in order
to avoid the branch instruction which affects performance.
- Do not patch .gnu.attributes since it's not needed for dynamic linking.
- Simplify Makefile a little bit.
- checkpatch fixes
- Restrict VDSO support for binutils &lt; 2.25 for pre-R6
- Include atomic64.h for O32 variant on MIPS64]

<title>MIPS: use generic-y where possible</title>

<id>cad3b624853b6f34f19693b9812df0d473a6fd40</id>
<content type='text'>
Use generic-y and remove headers in arch/mips/include/[uapi/]asm/Kbuild
where the header just includes or is identical to the corresponding
&lt;asm-generic/*.h&gt;.

We can't do the same for uapi/asm/kvm_para.h because it's presence is
explicitly checked in include/uapi/linux/Kbuild to decide whether to add
kvm_para.h to header-y.
