SYSCALL_DEFINE-added wrapper will take care of those just fine;
no extra compat wrappers needed.

note that due to historical accident we do *not* directly take
generic versions - need to check and invert the sign of signal
number first.

<title>compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile implementation</title>

This function is used by sparc, powerpc and arm64 for compat support.
The patch adds a generic implementation which calls do_sendfile()
directly and avoids set_fs().

The sparc architecture has wrappers for the sign extensions while
powerpc relies on the compiler to do the this. The patch adds wrappers
for powerpc to handle the u32-&gt;int type conversion.

compat_sys_sendfile64() can be replaced by a sys_sendfile() call since
compat_loff_t has the same size as off_t on a 64-bit system.

On powerpc, the patch also changes the 64-bit sendfile call from
sys_sendile64 to sys_sendfile.

The only tricky bit is the compat version of fanotify_mark, which
which on 32-bit the 64-bit mark argument is passed in as "high32",
"low32".

People should be using the perf events interfaces, and
the way these system call facilities used the %pcr conflicts
with the usage of the NMI watchdog and perf events.

Fixed up trivial conflicts:

   converted to &lt;asm-generic/socket.h&gt; in the x86 tree.  The generic
   header has the same new #define's, so that works out fine.

 - drivers/net/tun.c

   fix conflict between 89f56d1e9 ("tun: reuse struct sock fields") that
   switched over to using 'tun-&gt;socket.sk' instead of the redundantly
   available (and thus removed) 'tun-&gt;sk', and 2b980dbd ("lsm: Add hooks
   to the TUN driver") which added a new 'tun-&gt;sk' use.

   Noted in 'next' by Stephen Rothwell.
