e7084fd52e x32: Switch to a 64-bit clock_t
clock_t is used mainly to give the number of jiffies a certain process
has burned.  It is entirely feasible for a long-running process to
consume more than 2^32 jiffies especially in a multiprocess system.
As such, switch to a 64-bit clock_t for x32, just as we already
switched to a 64-bit time_t.

clock_t is only used in a handful of places, and as such it is really
not a very significant change.  The one that has the biggest impact is
in struct siginfo, but since the *size* of struct siginfo doesn't
change (it is padded to the hilt) it is fairly easy to make this a
localized change.

This also gets rid of sys_x32_times, however since this is a pretty
late change don't compactify the system call numbers; we can reuse
system call slot 521 next time we need an x32 system call.

b263b31e8a x86, mtrr: Use explicit sizing and padding for the 64-bit ioctls
Specify the data structures for the 64-bit ioctls with explicit sizing
and padding so that the x32 kernel will correctly use the 64-bit forms
of these ioctls.  Note that these ioctls are bogus in both forms on
both 32 and 64 bits; even on 64 bits the maximum MTRR size is only 44
bits long.

Note that nothing really is supposed to use these ioctls and that the
preferred interface is text strings on /proc/mtrr, or better yet,
nothing at all (use /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/resource*_wc for write
combining; that uses PAT not MTRRs.)

0bf6276392 x32: Warn and disable rather than error if binutils too old
If X32 is enabled in .config, but the binutils can't build it, issue a
warning and disable the feature rather than erroring out.

In order to support this, have CONFIG_X86_X32 be the option set in
Kconfig, and CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI be the option set by the Makefile when
it is enabled and binutils has been found to be functional.

ce5f7a99df x32: Make sure TS_COMPAT is cleared for x32 tasks
If a process has a non-x32 ia32 personality and changes to x32, the

189017c25c fs: Remove missed ->fds_bits from cessation use of fd_set structs internally
Stephen Rothwell reported that the following commit broke the
linux-next build:

  1fd36adcd9: Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs

Fix places where ->fds_bits needed to be removed as the core
kernel no longer uses fd_set internally for file descriptor
table management.  There are two places:

 (1) drivers/staging/android/binder.c

 (2) arch/mips/kernel/kspd.c

     Question: Should sp_cleanup() in the MIPS arch be using find_next_bit()
     or fls()?

c5a373942b x32: Signal-related system calls
x32 uses the 64-bit signal frame format, obviously, but there are some
structures which mixes that with pointers or sizeof(long) types, as
such we have to create a handful of system calls specific to x32.  By
and large these are a mixture of the 64-bit and the compat system
calls.

fca460f95e 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.

patch and are not exported to userspace.

Whilst linux/time.h *does* export the FD_*() equivalents as wrappers around
__FD_*(), userspace provides its own definition of __FD_*().

Note that the definition of FD_ZERO() in linux/time.h may not be used with the
fd_sets associated with struct fdtable as the fd_set may have been allocated in
a truncated fashion.

1fd36adcd9 Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs
Replace the fd_sets in struct fdtable with an array of unsigned longs and then
use the standard non-atomic bit operations rather than the FD_* macros.

This:

 (1) Removes the abuses of struct fd_set:

     (a) Since we don't want to allocate a full fd_set the vast majority of the
     	 time, we actually, in effect, just allocate a just-big-enough array of
     	 unsigned longs and cast it to an fd_set type - so why bother with the
     	 fd_set at all?

     (b) Some places outside of the core fdtable handling code (such as
     	 SELinux) want to look inside the array of unsigned longs hidden inside
     	 the fd_set struct for more efficient iteration over the entire set.

 (2) Eliminates the use of FD_*() macros in the kernel completely.

 (3) Permits the __FD_*() macros to be deleted entirely where not exposed to
     userspace.

1dce27c5aa Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable
Wrap accesses to the fd_sets in struct fdtable (for recording open files and
close-on-exec flags) so that we can move away from using fd_sets since we
abuse the fd_set structs by not allocating the full-sized structure under
normal circumstances and by non-core code looking at the internals of the
fd_sets.

The first abuse means that use of FD_ZERO() on these fd_sets is not permitted,
since that cannot be told about their abnormal lengths.

This introduces six wrapper functions for setting, clearing and testing
close-on-exec flags and fd-is-open flags:

	void __set_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
	void __clear_close_on_exec(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
	bool close_on_exec(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);
	void __set_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
	void __clear_open_fd(int fd, struct fdtable *fdt);
	bool fd_is_open(int fd, const struct fdtable *fdt);

Note that I've prepended '__' to the names of the set/clear functions because
they require the caller to hold a lock to use them.

Note also that I haven't added wrappers for looking behind the scenes at the
the array.  Possibly that should exist too.

8b3d1cda4f posix_types: Remove fd_set macros
<asm/posix_types.h> includes a set of macros that operate on file
descriptors.  Way long ago those were exported to user space, but
nowadays they are #ifdef __KERNEL__.

However, they are nothing but standard (nonatomic) bit operations, and
we already have optimized versions of bit operations in the kernel.
We can't include <linux/bitops.h> in <asm/posix_types.h> but we can
move the definitions to <linux/time.h> and define them there in terms
of standard kernel bitops.

[ v2: folds the following fixes in:

  a) Stray space in __FD_SET(), reported by Andrew Morton
  b) #include <linux/string.h> needed for memset(), reported by Tony Luck ]
