<id>71bdea6f798b425bc0003780b13e3fdecb16a010</id>
<content type='text'>
Adjust some MADV_XXX constants to be in sync what their values are on
all other platforms. There is currently no reason to have an own
numbering on parisc, but it requires workarounds in many userspace
sources (e.g. glibc, qemu, ...) - which are often forgotten and thus
introduce bugs and different behaviour on parisc.

A wrapper avoids an ABI breakage for existing userspace applications by
translating any old values to the new ones, so this change allows us to
move over all programs to the new ABI over time.

<title>parisc: io_pgetevents_time64() needs compat syscall in 32-bit compat mode</title>

<id>6431e92fc827bdd2d28f79150d90415ba9ce0d21</id>
<content type='text'>
For all syscalls in 32-bit compat mode on 64-bit kernels the upper
32-bits of the 64-bit registers are zeroed out, so a negative 32-bit
signed value will show up as positive 64-bit signed value.

This behaviour breaks the io_pgetevents_time64() syscall which expects
signed 64-bit values for the "min_nr" and "nr" parameters.
Fix this by switching to the compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64() syscall,
which uses "compat_long_t" types for those parameters.

These are all handled correctly when calling the native system call entry
point, so remove the special cases.

The bdflush system call has been deprecated for a very long time.
Recently Michael Schmitz tested[1] and found that the last known
caller of of the bdflush system call is unaffected by it's removal.

Since the code is not needed delete it.

In commit fa8b90070a80 ("quota: wire up quotactl_path") we have wired up
new quotactl_path syscall. However some people in LWN discussion have
objected that the path based syscall is missing dirfd and flags argument
which is mostly standard for contemporary path based syscalls. Indeed
they have a point and after a discussion with Christian Brauner and
Sascha Hauer I've decided to disable the syscall for now and update its
API. Since there is no userspace currently using that syscall and it
hasn't been released in any major release, we should be fine.
