A new system call interrupt will be added with a new trap number.
Hide the explicit 0xc00 test behind an accessor to reduce churn
in callers.

syscall_get_error() is required to be implemented on this architecture in
addition to already implemented syscall_get_nr(), syscall_get_arguments(),
syscall_get_return_value(), and syscall_get_arch() functions in order to
extend the generic ptrace API with PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO request.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "We've got a reasonably broad set of audit patches for the v5.2 merge
  window, the highlights are below:

   - The biggest change, and the source of all the arch/* changes, is
     the patchset from Dmitry to help enable some of the work he is
     doing around PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO.

     To be honest, including this in the audit tree is a bit of a
     stretch, but it does help move audit a little further along towards
     proper syscall auditing for all arches, and everyone else seemed to
     agree that audit was a "good" spot for this to land (or maybe they
     just didn't want to merge it? dunno.).

   - We can now audit time/NTP adjustments.

   - We continue the work to connect associated audit records into a

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().

<content type='text'>
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.

This argument is required to extend the generic ptrace API with
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO request: syscall_get_arch() is going
to be called from ptrace_request() along with syscall_get_nr(),
syscall_get_arguments(), syscall_get_error(), and
syscall_get_return_value() functions with a tracee as their argument.

The primary intent is that the triple (audit_arch, syscall_nr, arg1..arg6)
should describe what system call is being called and what its arguments
are.

<title>powerpc: split compat syscall table out from native table</title>

<content type='text'>
PowerPC uses a syscall table with native and compat calls
interleaved, which is a slightly simpler way to define two
matching tables.

As we move to having the tables generated, that advantage
is no longer important, but the interleaved table gets in
the way of using the same scripts as on the other archit-
ectures.

Split out a new compat_sys_call_table symbol that contains
all the compat calls, and leave the main table for the nat-
ive calls, to more closely match the method we use every-
where else.

<id>urn:sha1:e9fbe6863281b942d7eea44c6ccabc30f46ab44f</id>
<content type='text'>
The documentation for syscall_get_nr() in asm-generic says:

 Note this returns int even on 64-bit machines. Only 32 bits of
 system call number can be meaningful. If the actual arch value
 is 64 bits, this truncates to 32 bits so 0xffffffff means -1.

However our implementation was never updated to reflect this.

Generally it's not important, but there is once case where it matters.

For seccomp filter with SECCOMP_RET_TRACE, the tracer will set
regs-&gt;gpr[0] to -1 to reject the syscall. When the task is a compat
task, this means we end up with 0xffffffff in r0 because ptrace will
zero extend the 32-bit value.

If syscall_get_nr() returns an unsigned long, then a 64-bit kernel will
see a positive value in r0 and will incorrectly allow the syscall
through seccomp.

<title>powerpc: Use orig_gpr3 in syscall_get_arguments()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1cb9839b73e7f2b006a1cc9452c30f15ff8b1748</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently syscall_get_arguments() is used by syscall tracepoints, and
collect_syscall() which is used in some debugging as well as
/proc/pid/syscall.

The current implementation just copies regs-&gt;gpr[3 .. 5] out, which is
fine for all the current use cases.

When we enable seccomp filter, that will also start using
syscall_get_arguments(). However for seccomp filter we want to use r3
as the return value of the syscall, and orig_gpr3 as the first
parameter. This will allow seccomp to modify the return value in r3.

To support this we need to modify syscall_get_arguments() to return
orig_gpr3 instead of r3. This is safe for all uses because orig_gpr3
always contains the r3 value that was passed to the syscall. We store it
in the syscall entry path and never modify it.

Update syscall_set_arguments() while we're here, even though it's never
used.
