Originally in patch e6d20c55a4 ("openrisc: entry: Fix delay slot
detection") I fixed delay slot detection, but only for QEMU.  We missed
that hardware delay slot detection using delay slot exception flag (DSX)
was still broken.  This was because QEMU set the DSX flag in both
pre-exception supervision register (ESR) and supervision register (SR)
register, but on real hardware the DSX flag is only set on the SR
register during exceptions.

Fix this by carrying the DSX flag into the SR register during exception.
We also update the DSX flag read locations to read the value from the SR
register not the pt_regs SR register which represents ESR.  The ESR
should never have the DSX flag set.

In the process I updated/removed a few comments to match the current
state.  Including removing a comment saying that the DSX detection logic
was inefficient and needed to be rewritten.

I have tested this on QEMU with a patch ensuring it matches the hardware
specification.

<title>openrisc: Call destructor during __pte_free_tlb</title>

This fixes an issue uncovered when a recent change to add the "page
table" flag was merged.  During bootup we see many errors like the
following:

    BUG: Bad page state in process mkdir  pfn:00bae
    page:c1ff15c0 count:0 mapcount:-1024 mapping:00000000 index:0x0

During the __pte_free_tlb path openrisc fails to call the page
destructor which would clear the new bits that were introduced.
To fix this we are calling the destructor.

It seem openrisc was the only architecture missing this,  all other
architectures either call the destructor like we are doing here or use
pte_free.

Note: failing to call the destructor was also messing up the zone stats
(and will be cause other problems if you were using SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS,
which we are not yet).

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Core infrastucture work for Y2038 to address the COMPAT interfaces:

     + Add a new Y2038 safe __kernel_timespec and use it in the core
       code

     + Introduce config switches which allow to control the various
       compat mechanisms

     + Use the new config switch in the posix timer code to control the
       32bit compat syscall implementation.

 - Prevent bogus selection of CPU local clocksources which causes an
   endless reselection loop

 - Remove the extra kthread in the clocksource code which has no value
   and just adds another level of indirection

 - The usual bunch of trivial updates, cleanups and fixlets all over the
   place

 - More SPDX conversions

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes close the known issues with setting si_code to an
  invalid value, and with not fully initializing struct siginfo. There
  remains work to do on nds32, arc, unicore32, powerpc, arm, arm64, ia64
  and x86 to get the code that generates siginfo into a simpler and more
  maintainable state. Most of that work involves refactoring the signal
  handling code and thus careful code review.

  Also not included is the work to shrink the in kernel version of
  struct siginfo. That depends on getting the number of places that
  directly manipulate struct siginfo under control, as it requires the
  introduction of struct kernel_siginfo for the in kernel things.

  Overall this set of changes looks like it is making good progress, and
  with a little luck I will be wrapping up the siginfo work next
  development cycle"

The kernel depends on macros like __BYTE_ORDER__,
__BIG_ENDIAN__ or __LITTLE_ENDIAN__.

OTOH, sparse doesn't know about the endianness of the kernel and
by default uses the same as the machine on which sparse was built.

Ensure that sparse can predefine the macros corresponding to
how the kernel was configured by adding -m{big,little}-endian
to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs).
Also, remove the equivalent done in arch specific Makefiles.

<title>dma-debug: move initialization to common code</title>

Most mainstream architectures are using 65536 entries, so lets stick to
that.  If someone is really desperate to override it that can still be
done through &lt;asm/dma-mapping.h&gt;, but I'd rather see a really good
rationale for that.

dma_debug_init is now called as a core_initcall, which for many
architectures means much earlier, and provides dma-debug functionality
earlier in the boot process.  This should be safe as it only relies
on the memory allocator already being available.

<title>signal/openrisc: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate</title>

Filling in struct siginfo before calling force_sig_info a tedious and
error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields
are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared.

Simplify this process by using the helper force_sig_fault.  Which
takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures
all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly
and then calls force_sig_info.

In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time force_sig_info
is called, which makes the calling function clearer.

<title>signal: Ensure every siginfo we send has all bits initialized</title>

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.

Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when
initializing a structure.

The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit
was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into
tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local
variable siginfo gets fully initialized.

In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it
clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function
in which it is declared.

Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced
with calls clear_siginfo for clarity.

<title>time: Add an asm-generic/compat.h file</title>

We have a couple of files that try to include asm/compat.h on
architectures where this is available. Those should generally use the
higher-level linux/compat.h file, but that in turn fails to include
asm/compat.h when CONFIG_COMPAT is disabled, unless we can provide
that header on all architectures.

This adds the asm/compat.h for all remaining architectures to
simplify the dependencies.

Architectures that are getting removed in linux-4.17 are not changed
here, to avoid needless conflicts with the removal patches. Those
architectures are broken by this patch, but we have already shown
that they have no users.
