After removing the start and count arguments of syscall_get_arguments() it
seems reasonable to remove them from syscall_set_arguments(). Note, as of
today, there are no users of syscall_set_arguments(). But we are told that
there will be soon. But for now, at least make it consistent with
syscall_get_arguments().

At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the
function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly
written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for
the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at
all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only
0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle
different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6
arguments of a system call.

This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace,
ftrace and perf.

C-SKY syscall arguments are located in orig_a0,a1,a2,a3,regs[0],regs[1]
fields of struct pt_regs.

Due to an off-by-one bug and a bug in pointer arithmetic
syscall_get_arguments() was reading orig_a0,regs[1..5] fields instead.
Likewise, syscall_set_arguments() was writing orig_a0,regs[1..5] fields
instead.

<title>kbuild: force all architectures except um to include mandatory-y</title>

Currently, every arch/*/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild explicitly includes
the common Kbuild.asm file. Factor out the duplicated include directives
to scripts/Makefile.asm-generic so that no architecture would opt out
of the mandatory-y mechanism.

um is not forced to include mandatory-y since it is a very exceptional
case which does not support UAPI.

<title>get rid of legacy 'get_ds()' function</title>

Every in-kernel use of this function defined it to KERNEL_DS (either as
an actual define, or as an inline function).  It's an entirely
historical artifact, and long long long ago used to actually read the
segment selector valueof '%ds' on x86.

Which in the kernel is always KERNEL_DS.

Inspired by a patch from Jann Horn that just did this for a very small
subset of users (the ones in fs/), along with Al who suggested a script.
I then just took it to the logical extreme and removed all the remaining
gunk.

Roughly scripted with

   git grep -l '(get_ds())' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i 's/(get_ds())/(KERNEL_DS)/'
   git grep -lw 'get_ds' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i '/^#define get_ds()/d'

plus manual fixups to remove a few unusual usage patterns, the couple of
inline function cases and to fix up a comment that had become stale.

The 'get_ds()' function remains in an x86 kvm selftest, since in user
space it actually does something relevant.

The 'get_ds()' function remains in an x86 kvm selftest, since in user
space it actually does something relevant.

<title>asm-generic: Make time32 syscall numbers optional</title>

We don't want new architectures to even provide the old 32-bit time_t
based system calls any more, or define the syscall number macros.

Add a new __ARCH_WANT_TIME32_SYSCALLS macro that gets enabled for all
existing 32-bit architectures using the generic system call table,
so we don't change any current behavior.
Since this symbol is evaluated in user space as well, we cannot use
a Kconfig CONFIG_* macro but have to define it in uapi/asm/unistd.h.

On 64-bit architectures, the same system call numbers mostly refer to
the system calls we want to keep, as they already pass 64-bit time_t.

As new architectures no longer provide these, we need new exceptions
in checksyscalls.sh.

<title>asm-generic: Drop getrlimit and setrlimit syscalls from default list</title>

The newer prlimit64 syscall provides all the functionality of getrlimit
and setrlimit syscalls and adds the pid of target process, so future
architectures won't need to include getrlimit and setrlimit.

Therefore drop getrlimit and setrlimit syscalls from the generic syscall
list unless __ARCH_WANT_SET_GET_RLIMIT is defined by the architecture's
unistd.h prior to including asm-generic/unistd.h, and adjust all
architectures using the generic syscall list to define it so that no
in-tree architectures are affected.

Some user space drivers need accessing IO address and IO remap need
SO(strong order) page-attribute to make IO operation correct. So we
need add SO-page-attr for all non-memory address.

Use task_stack_page instead of p-&gt;stack to get stack. Follow the coding
convention style. Also for init_stack, the same with other archs.
