[ Upstream commit ab107276607af90b13a5994997e19b7b9731e251 ]

Since termio interface is now obsolete, include/uapi/asm/ioctls.h
has some constant macros referring to "struct termio", this caused
build failure at userspace.

In file included from /usr/include/asm/ioctl.h:12,
                 from /usr/include/asm/ioctls.h:5,
                 from tst-ioctls.c:3:
tst-ioctls.c: In function 'get_TCGETA':
tst-ioctls.c:12:10: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct termio'
   12 |   return TCGETA;
      |          ^~~~~~

Even though termios.h provides "struct termio", trying to juggle definitions around to
make it compile could introduce regressions. So better to open code it.

<title>powerpc/bpf: Fix use of user_pt_regs in uapi</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b21bd5a4b130f8370861478d2880985daace5913</id>
<content type='text'>
Trying to build a .c file that includes &lt;linux/bpf_perf_event.h&gt;:
  $ cat test_bpf_headers.c
  #include &lt;linux/bpf_perf_event.h&gt;

throws the below error:
  /usr/include/linux/bpf_perf_event.h:14:28: error: field ‘regs’ has incomplete type
     14 |         bpf_user_pt_regs_t regs;
	|                            ^~~~

This is because we typedef bpf_user_pt_regs_t to 'struct user_pt_regs'
in arch/powerpc/include/uaps/asm/bpf_perf_event.h, but 'struct
user_pt_regs' is not exposed to userspace.

Powerpc has both pt_regs and user_pt_regs structures. However, unlike
arm64 and s390, we expose user_pt_regs to userspace as just 'pt_regs'.
As such, we should typedef bpf_user_pt_regs_t to 'struct pt_regs' for
userspace.

Within the kernel though, we want to typedef bpf_user_pt_regs_t to
'struct user_pt_regs'.

Remove arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/bpf_perf_event.h so that the
uapi/asm-generic version of the header is exposed to userspace.
Introduce arch/powerpc/include/asm/bpf_perf_event.h so that we can
typedef bpf_user_pt_regs_t to 'struct user_pt_regs' for use within the
kernel.

Note that this was not showing up with the bpf selftest build since
tools/include/uapi/asm/bpf_perf_event.h didn't include the powerpc
variant.

Pull tty and serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of tty and serial driver updates for 5.19-rc1.

  Lots of tiny cleanups in here, the major stuff is:

   - termbit cleanups and unification by Ilpo. A much needed change that
     goes a long way to making things simpler for all of the different
     arches

   - tty documentation cleanups and movements to their own place in the
     documentation tree

   - old tty driver cleanups and fixes from Jiri to bring some existing
     drivers into the modern world

   - RS485 cleanups and unifications to make it easier for individual
     drivers to support this mode instead of having to duplicate logic
     in each driver

   - Lots of 8250 driver updates and additions

   - new device id additions

   - n_gsm continued fixes and cleanups

   - other minor serial driver updates and cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for weeks with no reported issues"

Commit c01013a2f8dd ("powerpc: add asm/stat.h to UAPI compile-test
coverage") converted as follows:

  uid_t  --&gt;  __kernel_uid_t
  gid_t  --&gt;  __kernel_gid_t

The bit width of __kernel_{uid,gid}_t is 16 or 32-bits depending on
architectures.

PPC uses 32-bits for them as in include/uapi/asm-generic/posix_types.h,
so the previous conversion is probably fine, but let's stick to the
arch-independent conversion just in case.

The safe replacements across all architectures are:

  uid_t  --&gt;  __kernel_uid32_t
  gid_t  --&gt;  __kernel_gid32_t

as defined in include/linux/types.h.

A similar issue was reported for the android binder. [1]

<title>powerpc/signal: Report minimum signal frame size to userspace via AT_MINSIGSTKSZ</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2896b2dff49d0377e4372f470dcddbcb26f2be59</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement the AT_MINSIGSTKSZ AUXV entry, allowing userspace to
dynamically size stack allocations in a manner forward-compatible with
new processor state saved in the signal frame

For now these statically find the maximum signal frame size rather than
doing any runtime testing of features to minimise the size.

glibc 2.34 will take advantage of this, as will applications that use
use _SC_MINSIGSTKSZ and _SC_SIGSTKSZ.

<title>powerpc/64: Bump SIGSTKSZ and MINSIGSTKSZ</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2f82ec19757f58549467db568c56e7dfff8af283</id>
<content type='text'>
The sad tale of SIGSTKSZ and MINSIGSTKSZ is documented in glibc.git
commit f7c399cff5bd ("PowerPC SIGSTKSZ"), which explains why glibc
does not use the kernel defines for these constants.

Since then in fact there has been a further expansion of the signal
stack frame size on little-endian with linux commit
573ebfa6601f ("powerpc: Increase stack redzone for 64-bit userspace to
512 bytes"), which has caused it to exceed even the glibc defines.

See kernel commit 63dee5df43a3 ("powerpc: Allow 4224 bytes of stack
expansion for the signal frame") for more details of the history of the
expansion.

Increase MINSIGSTKSZ to 8192 which is double the current glibc value and
fits the current stack frame with room to grow. SIGSTKSZ is set to 4x
the minimum as convention.

glibc will have to be updated as well.
