Change the asm/unistd.h header for arm64 to no longer include
asm-generic/unistd.h itself, but instead generate both the asm/unistd.h
contents and the list of entry points using the syscall.tbl scripts that
we use on most other architectures.

Once his is done for the remaining architectures, the generic unistd.h
header can be removed and the generated tbl file put in its place.

The Makefile changes are more complex than they should be, I need
a little help to improve those. Ideally this should be done in an
architecture-independent way as well.

<title>arm64: mmap: Ensure file offset is treated as unsigned</title>

The file offset argument to the arm64 sys_mmap() implementation is
scaled from bytes to pages by shifting right by PAGE_SHIFT.
Unfortunately, the offset is passed in as a signed 'off_t' type and
therefore large offsets (i.e. with the top bit set) are incorrectly
sign-extended by the shift. This has been observed to cause false mmap()
failures when mapping GPU doorbells on an arm64 server part.

Change the type of the file offset argument to sys_mmap() from 'off_t'
to 'unsigned long' so that the shifting scales the value as expected.

<content type='text'>
To minimize the risk of userspace-controlled values being used under
speculation, this patch adds pt_regs based syscall wrappers for arm64,
which pass the minimum set of required userspace values to syscall
implementations. For each syscall, a wrapper which takes a pt_regs
argument is automatically generated, and this extracts the arguments
before calling the "real" syscall implementation.

Each syscall has three functions generated:

* __do_&lt;compat_&gt;sys_&lt;name&gt; is the "real" syscall implementation, with
  the expected prototype.

* __se_&lt;compat_&gt;sys_&lt;name&gt; is the sign-extension/narrowing wrapper,
  inherited from common code. This takes a series of long parameters,
  casting each to the requisite types required by the "real" syscall
  implementation in __do_&lt;compat_&gt;sys_&lt;name&gt;.

  This wrapper *may* not be necessary on arm64 given the AAPCS rules on
  unused register bits, but it seemed safer to keep the wrapper for now.

* __arm64_&lt;compat_&gt;_sys_&lt;name&gt; takes a struct pt_regs pointer, and
  extracts *only* the relevant register values, passing these on to the
  __se_&lt;compat_&gt;sys_&lt;name&gt; wrapper.

The syscall invocation code is updated to handle the calling convention
required by __arm64_&lt;compat_&gt;_sys_&lt;name&gt;, and passes a single struct
pt_regs pointer.

The compiler can fold the syscall implementation and its wrappers, such
that the overhead of this approach is minimized.

Note that we play games with sys_ni_syscall(). It can't be defined with
SYSCALL_DEFINE0() because we must avoid the possibility of error
injection. Additionally, there are a couple of locations where we need
to call it from C code, and we don't (currently) have a
ksys_ni_syscall().  While it has no wrapper, passing in a redundant
pt_regs pointer is benign per the AAPCS.

When ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER is selected, no prototype is defines for
sys_ni_syscall(). Since we need to treat it differently for in-kernel
calls and the syscall tables, the prototype is defined as-required.

The wrappers are largely the same as their x86 counterparts, but
simplified as we don't have a variety of compat calling conventions that
require separate stubs. Unlike x86, we have some zero-argument compat
syscalls, and must define COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE0() to ensure that these
are also given an __arm64_compat_sys_ prefix.

Our syscall tables are aligned to 4096 bytes, which allowed their
addresses to be generated with a single adrp in entry.S. This has the
unfortunate property of wasting space in .rodata for the necessary
padding.

Now that the address is generated by C code, we can rely on the compiler
to do the right thing, and drop the alignemnt.
