<id>urn:sha1:249dbe74d3c4b568a623fb55c56cddf19fdf0b89</id>
<content type='text'>
The epoll_wait() system call wrapper is one of the remaining users of
the set_fs() infrasturcture for Arm. Changing it to not require set_fs()
is rather complex unfortunately.

The approach I'm taking here is to allow architectures to override
the code that copies the output to user space, and let the oabi-compat
implementation check whether it is getting called from an EABI or OABI
system call based on the thread_info-&gt;syscall value.

The in_oabi_syscall() check here mirrors the in_compat_syscall() and
in_x32_syscall() helpers for 32-bit compat implementations on other
architectures.

Overall, the amount of code goes down, at least with the newly added
sys_oabi_epoll_pwait() helper getting removed again. The downside
is added complexity in the source code for the native implementation.
There should be no difference in runtime performance except for Arm
kernels with CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT enabled that now have to go through
an external function call to check which of the two variants to use.

<id>urn:sha1:b6e47f3c11c17965acb2a12001af3b1cd5658f37</id>
<content type='text'>
The epoll_wait() syscall has a special version for OABI compat
mode to convert the arguments to the EABI structure layout
of the kernel. However, the later epoll_pwait() syscall was
added in arch/arm in linux-2.6.32 without this conversion.

Use the same kind of handler for both.

<content type='text'>
The bdflush system call has been deprecated for a very long time.
Recently Michael Schmitz tested[1] and found that the last known
caller of of the bdflush system call is unaffected by it's removal.

Since the code is not needed delete it.

Pull ARM development updates from Russell King:

 - Make it clear __swp_entry_to_pte() uses PTE_TYPE_FAULT

 - Updates for setting vmalloc size via command line to resolve an issue
   with the 8MiB hole not properly being accounted for, and clean up the
   code.

 - ftrace support for module PLTs

 - Spelling fixes

 - kbuild updates for removing generated files and pattern rules for
   generating files

 - Clang/llvm updates

 - Change the way the kernel is mapped, placing it in vmalloc space
   instead.

 - Remove arm_pm_restart from arm and aarch64.

You do not need to pass the abi parameter to syscallnr.sh because it
parses all the lines of syscall.tbl except comments anyway.

Simplify the code. Also, remove unneeded single-quoting.

The directory of mach-types.h is created a couple of lines above:

  _dummy := $(shell [ -d '$(kapi)' ] || mkdir -p '$(kapi)') \

The 'mkdir -p' command is redundant.

scripts/Kbuild.include defines real-prereqs as a shorthand for
$(filter-out $(PHONY),$^). Let's use it to simplify the code.
