Pull preparatory work for y2038 changes from Arnd Bergmann:
System call unification and cleanup
The system call tables have diverged a bit over the years, and a number of the recent additions never made it into all architectures, for one reason or another.
This is an attempt to clean it up as far as we can without breaking compatibility, doing a number of steps:
- Add system calls that have not yet been integrated into all architectures but that we definitely want there. This includes {,f}statfs64() and get{eg,eu,g,p,u,pp}id() on alpha, which have been missing traditionally.
- The s390 compat syscall handling is cleaned up to be more like what we do on other architectures, while keeping the 31-bit pointer extension. This was merged as a shared branch by the s390 maintainers and is included here in order to base the other patches on top.
- Add the separate ipc syscalls on all architectures that traditionally only had sys_ipc(). This version is done without support for IPC_OLD that is we have in sys_ipc. The new semtimedop_time64 syscall will only be added here, not in sys_ipc
- Add syscall numbers for a couple of syscalls that we probably don't need everywhere, in particular pkey_* and rseq, for the purpose of symmetry: if it's in asm-generic/unistd.h, it makes sense to have it everywhere. I expect that any future system calls will get assigned on all platforms together, even when they appear to be specific to a single architecture.
- Prepare for having the same system call numbers for any future calls. In combination with the generated tables, this hopefully makes it easier to add new calls across all architectures together.
All of the above are technically separate from the y2038 work, but are done as preparation before we add the new 64-bit time_t system calls everywhere, providing a common baseline set of system calls.
I expect that glibc and other libraries that want to use 64-bit time_t will require linux-5.1 kernel headers for building in the future, and at a much later point may also require linux-5.1 or a later version as the minimum kernel at runtime. Having a common baseline then allows the removal of many architecture or kernel version specific workarounds.

y2038: add 64-bit time_t syscalls to all 32-bit architectures
This adds 21 new system calls on each ABI that has 32-bit time_t today. All of these have the exact same semantics as their existing counterparts, and the new ones all have macro names that end in 'time64' for clarification.
This gets us to the point of being able to safely use a C library that has 64-bit time_t in user space. There are still a couple of loose ends to tie up in various areas of the code, but this is the big one, and should be entirely uncontroversial at this point.
In particular, there are four system calls (getitimer, setitimer, waitid, and getrusage) that don't have a 64-bit counterpart yet, but these can all be safely implemented in the C library by wrapping around the existing system calls because the 32-bit time_t they pass only counts elapsed time, not time since the epoch. They will be dealt with later.

y2038: rename old time and utime syscalls
The time, stime, utime, utimes, and futimesat system calls are only used on older architectures, and we do not provide y2038 safe variants of them, as they are replaced by clock_gettime64, clock_settime64, and utimensat_time64.
However, for consistency it seems better to have the 32-bit architectures that still use them call the "time32" entry points (leaving the traditional handlers for the 64-bit architectures), like we do for system calls that now require two versions.
Note: We used to always define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME and __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME and only set __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_TIME and __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME32 for compat mode on 64-bit kernels. Now this is reversed: only 64-bit architectures set __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME/UTIME, while we need __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME32/UTIME32 for 32-bit architectures and compat mode. The resulting asm/unistd.h changes look a bit counterintuitive.
This is only a cleanup patch and it should not change any behavior.

y2038: use time32 syscall names on 32-bit
This is the big flip, where all 32-bit architectures set COMPAT_32BIT_TIME and use the _time32 system calls from the former compat layer instead of the system calls that take __kernel_timespec and similar arguments.
The temporary redirects for __kernel_timespec, __kernel_itimerspec and __kernel_timex can get removed with this.
It would be easy to split this commit by architecture, but with the new generated system call tables, it's easy enough to do it all at once, which makes it a little easier to check that the changes are the same in each table.

ipc: rename old-style shmctl/semctl/msgctl syscalls
The behavior of these system calls is slightly different between architectures, as determined by the CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION symbol. Most architectures that implement the split IPC syscalls don't set that symbol and only get the modern version, but alpha, arm, microblaze, mips-n32, mips-n64 and xtensa expect the caller to pass the IPC_64 flag.
For the architectures that so far only implement sys_ipc(), i.e. m68k, mips-o32, powerpc, s390, sh, sparc, and x86-32, we want the new behavior when adding the split syscalls, so we need to distinguish between the two groups of architectures.
The method I picked for this distinction is to have a separate system call entry point: sys_old_*ctl() now uses ipc_parse_version, while sys_*ctl() does not. The system call tables of the five architectures are changed accordingly.
As an additional benefit, we no longer need the configuration specific definition for ipc_parse_version(), it always does the same thing now, but simply won't get called on architectures with the modern interface.
A small downside is that on architectures that do set ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION, we now have an extra set of entry points that are never called. They only add a few bytes of bloat, so it seems better to keep them compared to adding yet another Kconfig symbol. I considered adding new syscall numbers for the IPC_64 variants for consistency, but decided against that for now.

microblaze: add system call table generation support
The system call tables are in different format in all architecture and it will be difficult to manually add, modify or delete the syscall table entries in the res- pective files. To make it easy by keeping a script and which will generate the uapi header and syscall table file. This change will also help to unify the implemen- tation across all architectures.
The system call table generation script is added in kernel/syscalls directory which contain the scripts to generate both uapi header file and system call table files. The syscall.tbl will be input for the scripts.
syscall.tbl contains the list of available system calls along with system call number and corresponding entry point. Add a new system call in this architecture will be possible by adding new entry in the syscall.tbl file.
Adding a new table entry consisting of: - System call number. - ABI. - System call name. - Entry point name.
syscallhdr.sh and syscalltbl.sh will generate uapi header unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files respectively. Both .sh files will parse the content syscall.tbl to generate the header and table files. unistd_32.h will be included by uapi/asm/unistd.h and syscall_table.h is included by kernel/syscall_table.S - the real system call table.
ARM, s390 and x86 architecuture does have similar support. I leverage their implementation to come up with a generic solution.
