Picking up the changes from these csets:

  2153b2e8917b73e9 ("sparc: Add architecture support for clone3")
  99d2592023e5d0a3 ("rseq: Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()")
  4ac286c4a8d904c8 ("s390/syscalls: Switch to generic system call table generation")

This makes 'perf trace' support it, now its possible, for instance, to
do:

  # perf trace -e rseq_slice_yield --max-stack=16

Here is an example with the 'sendmmsg' syscall:

  root@x1:~# perf trace -e sendmmsg --max-stack 16 --max-events=1
       0.000 ( 0.062 ms): dbus-broker/1012 sendmmsg(fd: 150, mmsg: 0x7ffef57cca50, vlen: 1, flags: DONTWAIT|NOSIGNAL) = 1
                                         syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         syscall_exit_to_user_mode ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         entry_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         [0x117ce7] (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6 (deleted))
  root@x1:~#

To do a system wide tracing of the new 'rseq_slice_yield' syscall with a
backtrace of at most 16 entries.

This addresses these perf tools build warnings:

Pull vfs error reporting updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the changes to support generic I/O error reporting.

  Filesystems currently have no standard mechanism for reporting
  metadata corruption and file I/O errors to userspace via fsnotify.
  Each filesystem (xfs, ext4, erofs, f2fs, etc.) privately defines
  EFSCORRUPTED, and error reporting to fanotify is inconsistent or
  absent entirely.

  This introduces a generic fserror infrastructure built around struct
  super_block that gives filesystems a standard way to queue metadata
  and file I/O error reports for delivery to fsnotify.

  Errors are queued via mempools and queue_work to avoid holding
  filesystem locks in the notification path; unmount waits for pending
  events to drain. A new super_operations::report_error callback lets
  filesystem drivers respond to file I/O errors themselves (to be used
  by an upcoming XFS self-healing patchset).

  On the uapi side, EFSCORRUPTED and EUCLEAN are promoted from private
  per-filesystem definitions to canonical errno.h values across all
  architectures"

This should be used to beautify the syscall arguments and it addresses
these tools/perf build warnings:

Please see tools/include/uapi/README.

Note that s390 syscall table is still out of sync as it switches to use the
generic table.  But I'd like to minimize the change in this commit.

<content type='text'>
As long as recvmsg() or recvmmsg() is used with cmsg, it is not
possible to avoid receiving file descriptors via SCM_RIGHTS.

This behaviour has occasionally been flagged as problematic, as
it can be (ab)used to trigger DoS during close(), for example, by
passing a FUSE-controlled fd or a hung NFS fd.

For instance, as noted on the uAPI Group page [0], an untrusted peer
could send a file descriptor pointing to a hung NFS mount and then
close it.  Once the receiver calls recvmsg() with msg_control, the
descriptor is automatically installed, and then the responsibility
for the final close() now falls on the receiver, which may result
in blocking the process for a long time.

Regarding this, systemd calls cmsg_close_all() [1] after each
recvmsg() to close() unwanted file descriptors sent via SCM_RIGHTS.

However, this cannot work around the issue at all, because the final
fput() may still occur on the receiver's side once sendmsg() with
SCM_RIGHTS succeeds.  Also, even filtering by LSM at recvmsg() does
not work for the same reason.

Thus, we need a better way to refuse SCM_RIGHTS at sendmsg().

Let's introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS to disable SCM_RIGHTS.

Note that this option is enabled by default for backward
compatibility.

<pre>
As long as recvmsg() or recvmmsg() is used with cmsg, it is not
possible to avoid receiving file descriptors via SCM_RIGHTS.

This behaviour has occasionally been flagged as problematic, as
it can be (ab)used to trigger DoS during close(), for example, by
passing a FUSE-controlled fd or a hung NFS fd.

For instance, as noted on the uAPI Group page [0], an untrusted peer
could send a file descriptor pointing to a hung NFS mount and then
close it.  Once the receiver calls recvmsg() with msg_control, the
descriptor is automatically installed, and then the responsibility
for the final close() now falls on the receiver, which may result
in blocking the process for a long time.

Regarding this, systemd calls cmsg_close_all() [1] after each
recvmsg() to close() unwanted file descriptors sent via SCM_RIGHTS.

However, this cannot work around the issue at all, because the final
fput() may still occur on the receiver's side once sendmsg() with
SCM_RIGHTS succeeds.  Also, even filtering by LSM at recvmsg() does
not work for the same reason.

Thus, we need a better way to refuse SCM_RIGHTS at sendmsg().

Let's introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS to disable SCM_RIGHTS.

  e632bca07c8eef1d arm64: generate 64-bit syscall.tbl

This is basically to support the new open_tree_attr syscall.  But it
also needs to update asm-generic unistd.h header to get the new syscall
number.  And arm64 unistd.h header was converted to use the generic
64-bit header.
