Pull removal of most of fs/compat_ioctl.c from Arnd Bergmann:
 "As part of the cleanup of some remaining y2038 issues, I came to
  fs/compat_ioctl.c, which still has a couple of commands that need
  support for time64_t.

  In completely unrelated work, I spent time on cleaning up parts of
  this file in the past, moving things out into drivers instead.

  After Al Viro reviewed an earlier version of this series and did a lot
  more of that cleanup, I decided to try to completely eliminate the
  rest of it and move it all into drivers.

  This series incorporates some of Al's work and many patches of my own,
  but in the end stops short of actually removing the last part, which
  is the scsi ioctl handlers. I have patches for those as well, but they
  need more testing or possibly a rewrite"

All vector drivers now allow a BPF program to be loaded and
associated with the RX socket in the host kernel.

1. The program can be loaded as an extra kernel command line
option to any of the vector drivers.

2. The program can also be loaded as "firmware", using the
ethtool flash option. It is possible to turn this facility
on or off using a command line option.

A simplistic wrapper for generating the BPF firmware for the raw
socket driver out of a tcpdump/libpcap filter expression can be
found at: https://github.com/kot-begemot-uk/uml_vector_utilities/

<title>um: virtio: Keep reading on -EAGAIN</title>

When we get an interrupt from the socket getting readable,
and start reading, there's a possibility for a race. This
depends on the implementation of the device, but e.g. with
qemu's libvhost-user, we can see:

 device                 virtio_uml
---------------------------------------
  write header
                         get interrupt
                         read header
                         read body -&gt; returns -EAGAIN
  write body

The -EAGAIN return is because the socket is non-blocking,
and then this leads us to abandon this message.

In fact, we've already read the header, so when the get
another signal/interrupt for the body, we again read it
as though it's a new message header, and also abandon it
for the same reason (wrong size etc.)

This essentially breaks things, and if that message was
one that required a response, it leads to a deadlock as
the device is waiting for the response but we'll never
reply.

Fix this by spinning on -EAGAIN as well when we read the
message body. We need to handle -EAGAIN as "no message"
while reading the header, since we share an interrupt.

Note that this situation is highly unlikely to occur in
normal usage, since there will be very few messages and
only in the startup phase. With the inband call feature
this does tend to happen (eventually) though.

All watchdog drivers implement the same set of ioctl commands, and
fortunately all of them are compatible between 32-bit and 64-bit
architectures.

Modern drivers always go through drivers/watchdog/wdt.c as an abstraction
layer, but older ones implement their own file_operations on a character
device for this.

Move the handling from fs/compat_ioctl.c into the individual drivers.

Note that most of the legacy drivers will never be used on 64-bit
hardware, because they are for an old 32-bit SoC implementation, but
doing them all at once is safer than trying to guess which ones do
or do not need the compat_ioctl handling.

<content type='text'>
The SNDCTL_* and SOUND_* commands are the old OSS user interface.

I checked all the sound ioctl commands listed in fs/compat_ioctl.c
to see if we still need the translation handlers. Here is what I
found:

- sound/oss/ is (almost) gone from the kernel, this is what actually
  needed all the translations
- The ALSA emulation for OSS correctly handles all compat_ioctl
  commands already.
- sound/oss/dmasound/ is the last holdout of the original OSS code,
  this is only used on arch/m68k, which has no 64-bit mode and
  hence needs no compat handlers
- arch/um/drivers/hostaudio_kern.c may run in 64-bit mode with
  32-bit x86 user space underneath it. This rare corner case is
  the only one that still needs the compat handlers.

By adding a simple redirect of .compat_ioctl to .unlocked_ioctl in the
UML driver, we can remove all the COMPATIBLE_IOCTL() annotations without
a change in functionality. For completeness, I'm adding the same thing
to the dmasound file, knowing that it makes no difference.

The compat_ioctl list contains one comment about SNDCTL_DSP_MAPINBUF and
SNDCTL_DSP_MAPOUTBUF, which actually would need a translation handler
if implemented. However, the native implementation just returns -EINVAL,
so we don't care.
