<title>parisc: Use compat layer for msgctl, shmat, shmctl and semtimedop syscalls</title>

Switch over the msgctl, shmat, shmctl and semtimedop syscalls to use the compat
layer. The problem was found with the debian procenv package, which called
	shmctl(0, SHM_INFO, &amp;info);
in which the shmctl syscall then overwrote parts of the surrounding areas on
the stack on which the info variable was stored and thus lead to a segfault
later on.

Additionally fix the definition of struct shminfo64 to use unsigned longs like
the other architectures. This has no impact on userspace since we only have a
32bit userspace up to now.

<title>parisc: Reduce SIGRTMIN from 37 to 32 to behave like other Linux architectures</title>

<id>1f25df2eff5b25f52c139d3ff31bc883eee9a0ab</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch reduces the value of SIGRTMIN on PARISC from 37 to 32, thus
increasing the number of available RT signals and bring it in sync with other
Linux architectures.

Historically we wanted to natively support HP-UX 32bit binaries with the
PA-RISC Linux port.  Because of that we carried the various available signals
from HP-UX (e.g. SIGEMT and SIGLOST) and folded them in between the native
Linux signals.  Although this was the right decision at that time, this
required us to increase SIGRTMIN to at least 37 which left us with 27 (64-37)
RT signals.

Those 27 RT signals haven't been a problem in the past, but with the upcoming
importance of systemd we now got the problem that systemd alloctes (hardcoded)
signals up to SIGRTMIN+29 which is beyond our NSIG of 64. Because of that we
have not been able to use systemd on the PARISC Linux port yet.

Of course we could ask the systemd developers to not use those hardcoded
values, but this change is very unlikely, esp. with PA-RISC being a niche
architecture.

The other possibility would be to increase NSIG to e.g. 128, but this would
mean to duplicate most of the existing Linux signal handling code into the
parisc specific Linux kernel tree which would most likely introduce lots of new
bugs beside the code duplication.

The third option is to drop some HP-UX signals and shuffle some other signals
around to bring SIGRTMIN to 32.  This is of course an ABI change, but testing
has shown that existing Linux installations are not visibly affected by this
change - most likely because we move those signals around which are rarely used
and move them to slots which haven't been used in Linux yet. In an existing
installation I was able to exchange either the Linux kernel or glibc (or both)
without affecting the boot process and installed applications.

Dropping the HP-UX signals isn't an issue either, since support for HP-UX was
basically dropped a few months back with Kernel 3.14 in commit
f5a408d53edef3af07ac7697b8bc54a755628450 already, when we changed EWOULDBLOCK
to be equal to EAGAIN.

So, even if this is an ABI change, it's better to change it now and thus bring
PARISC Linux in sync with other architectures to avoid other issues in the
future.

The sa_restorer field in struct sigaction is obsolete and no longer in
the parisc implementation.  However, the core code assumes the field is
present if SA_RESTORER is defined. So, the define needs to be removed.
