The syscall.h headers were including linux/audit.h but really only
needed the uapi/linux/audit.h to get the requisite defines. Switch to
the uapi headers.

Every caller of syscall_get_arch() uses current for the task and no
implementors of the function need args. So just get rid of both of
those things. Admittedly, since these are inline functions we aren't
wasting stack space, but it just makes the prototypes better.

Make the sys_call_table type defined in asm/syscall.h match
the definition in syscall_64.c

v2: include asm/syscall.h in syscall_64.c too. I left uml alone
because it doesn't have an syscall.h on its own and including
the native one leads to other errors.

8b4b9f27e57584f3d90e0bb84cf800ad81cfe3a1 15-Feb-2013 Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com> x86: remove the x32 syscall bitmask from syscall_get_nr()

Commit fca460f95e928bae373daa8295877b6905bc62b8 simplified the x32
implementation by creating a syscall bitmask, equal to 0x40000000, that
could be applied to x32 syscalls such that the masked syscall number
would be the same as a x86_64 syscall. While that patch was a nice
way to simplify the code, it went a bit too far by adding the mask to
syscall_get_nr(); returning the masked syscall numbers can cause
confusion with callers that expect syscall numbers matching the x32
ABI, e.g. unmasked syscall numbers.

This patch fixes this by simply removing the mask from syscall_get_nr()
while preserving the other changes from the original commit. While
there are several syscall_get_nr() callers in the kernel, most simply
check that the syscall number is greater than zero, in this case this
patch will have no effect. Of those remaining callers, they appear
to be few, seccomp and ftrace, and from my testing of seccomp without
this patch the original commit definitely breaks things; the seccomp
filter does not correctly filter the syscalls due to the difference in
syscall numbers in the BPF filter and the value from syscall_get_nr().
Applying this patch restores the seccomp BPF filter functionality on
x32.

I've tested this patch with the seccomp BPF filters as well as ftrace
and everything looks reasonable to me; needless to say general usage
seemed fine as well.

fca460f95e928bae373daa8295877b6905bc62b8 19-Feb-2012 H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> x32: Handle the x32 system call flag

x32 shares most system calls with x86-64, but unfortunately some
subsystem (the input subsystem is the chief offender) which require
is_compat() when operating with a 32-bit userspace. The input system
actually has text files in sysfs whose meaning is dependent on
sizeof(long) in userspace!

We could solve this by having two completely disjoint system call
tables; requiring that each system call be duplicated. This patch
takes a different approach: we add a flag to the system call number;
this flag doesn't affect the system call dispatch but requests compat
treatment from affected subsystems for the duration of the system call.

The change of cmpq to cmpl is safe since it immediately follows the
and.

This reverts commit d5e553d6e0a4bdea43adae7373e3fa144b9a1aaa, which
caused large numbers of build warnings on PowerPC.

This moves the #include <asm/asm-offsets.h> to <asm/syscall.h>, which
makes some kind of sense since NR_syscalls is syscalls related.

Most implementations of arch_syscall_addr() are the same, so create a
default version in common code and move the one piece that differs (the
syscall table) to asm/syscall.h. New arch ports don't have to waste
time copying & pasting this simple function.

The s390/sparc versions need to be different, so document why.
