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.

New pt_regs should indicate that there's no syscall, not that there's
syscall #0. While at it wrap macro body in do/while and parenthesize

<title>KVM: export &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; iif KVM is supported</title>

<id>3d9683cf3bfb6d4e4605a153958dfca7e18b52f2</id>
<content type='text'>
I do not see any consistency about headers_install of &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt;
and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt;.

According to my analysis of Linux 5.1-rc1, there are 3 groups:

 [1] Both &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; are exported

    alpha, arm, hexagon, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86

 [2] &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; is exported, but &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; is not

    arc, arm64, c6x, h8300, ia64, m68k, microblaze, nios2, openrisc,
    parisc, sh, unicore32, xtensa

 [3] Neither &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; nor &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; is exported

    csky, nds32, riscv

This does not match to the actual KVM support. At least, [2] is
half-baked.

Nor do arch maintainers look like they care about this. For example,
commit 0add53713b1c ("microblaze: Add missing kvm_para.h to Kbuild")
exported &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; to user-space in order to fix an in-kernel
build error.

We have two ways to make this consistent:

 [A] export both &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; for all
     architectures, irrespective of the KVM support

 [B] Match the header export of &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt;
     to the KVM support

My first attempt was [A] because the code looks cleaner, but Paolo
suggested [B].

So, this commit goes with [B].

For most architectures, &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; was moved to the kernel-space.
I changed include/uapi/linux/Kbuild so that it checks generated
asm/kvm_para.h as well as check-in ones.

After this commit, there will be two groups:

 [1] Both &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; and &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; are exported

    arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, x86

 [2] Neither &lt;linux/kvm_para.h&gt; nor &lt;asm/kvm_para.h&gt; is exported

    alpha, arc, c6x, csky, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m68k, microblaze,

The generic-y is redundant under the following condition:

 - arch has its own implementation

 - the same header is added to generated-y

 - the same header is added to mandatory-y

If a redundant generic-y is found, the warning like follows is displayed:

  scripts/Makefile.asm-generic:20: redundant generic-y found in arch/arm/include/asm/Kbuild: timex.h

I fixed up arch Kbuild files found by this.

<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.
