<title>openrisc: convert to generic syscall table</title>

The uapi/asm/unistd_32.h and asm/syscall_table_32.h headers can now be
generated from scripts/syscall.tbl, which makes this consistent with
the other architectures that have their own syscall.tbl.

openrisc has one extra system call that gets added to scripts/syscall.tbl.

The time32, stat64, rlimit and renameat entries in the syscall_abis_32
line are for system calls that were part of the generic ABI when
arch/nios2 got added but are no longer enabled by default for new
architectures.

Both the user visible side of asm/unistd.h and the internal syscall
table in the kernel should have the same effective contents after this.

When asm/syscalls.h is included in kernel/fork.c for the purpose of
type checking, the redirection macros cause problems.  Move these so
only the references get redirected.

<title>clone3: drop __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 macro</title>

When clone3() was introduced, it was not obvious how each architecture
deals with setting up the stack and keeping the register contents in
a fork()-like system call, so this was left for the architecture
maintainers to implement, with __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 defined by those
that already implement it.

Five years later, we still have a few architectures left that are missing
clone3(), and the macro keeps getting in the way as it's fundamentally
different from all the other __ARCH_WANT_SYS_* macros that are meant
to provide backwards-compatibility with applications using older
syscalls that are no longer provided by default.

Address this by reversing the polarity of the macro, adding an
__ARCH_BROKEN_SYS_CLONE3 macro to all architectures that don't
already provide the syscall, and remove __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
from all the other ones.

<title>openrisc: Move FPU state out of pt_regs</title>

<id>4dc70e1aadfadf968676d983587c6f5d455aba85</id>
<content type='text'>
My original, naive, FPU support patch had the FPCSR register stored
during both the *mode switch* and *context switch*.  This is wasteful.

Also, the original patches did not save the FPU state when handling
signals during the system call fast path.

We fix this by moving the FPCSR state to thread_struct in task_struct.
We also introduce new helper functions save_fpu and restore_fpu which
can be used to sync the FPU with thread_struct.  These functions are now
called when needed:

 - Setting up and restoring sigcontext when handling signals
 - Before and after __switch_to during context switches
 - When handling FPU exceptions
 - When reading and writing FPU register sets

In the future we can further optimize this by doing lazy FPU save and
restore.  For example, FPU sync is not needed when switching to and from
kernel threads (x86 does this).  FPU save and restore does not need to
be done two times if we have both rescheduling and signal work to do.
However, since OpenRISC FPU state is a single register, I leave these
optimizations for future consideration.

OpenRISC exception handling sends signals to user processes on floating
point exceptions and trap instructions (for debugging) among others.
There is a bug where the trap handling logic may send signals to kernel
threads, we should not send these signals to kernel threads, if that
happens we treat it as an error.

This patch adds conditions to die if the kernel receives these
exceptions in kernel mode code.

The die function calls show_registers unconditionally.  Remove calls to
show_registers before calling die to avoid printing all registers and
stack status two times during a crash.

This was found when testing kernel trap and floating point exception
handling.

When testing modules in OpenRISC I found R_OR1K_AHI16 (signed adjusted
high 16-bit) and R_OR1K_SLO16 (split low 16-bit) relocations are used in
modules but not implemented yet.

This patch implements the relocations. I have tested with a few modules.

This defines the current OpenRISC relocation types using the current
R_OR1K_* naming conventions.

The old R_OR32_* definitions are left for backwards compatibility.
Note, the R_OR32_VTENTRY and R_OR32_VTINHERIT macros were defined with
the wrong values the have always been 7 and 8 respectively, not 8 and 7.
They are not used for module loading and I have updated them to use the
correct values.

After commit 14c5678720bd ("power: reset: syscon-poweroff: Use
devm_register_sys_off_handler(POWER_OFF)") setting up of pm_power_off
was removed from the driver, this causes OpenRISC platforms using
syscon-poweroff to no longer shutdown.

The kernel now supports chained power-off handlers. Use
do_kernel_power_off() that invokes chained power-off handlers.  All
architectures have moved away from using pm_power_off except OpenRISC.

This patch migrates openrisc to use do_kernel_power_off() instead of the
legacy pm_power_off().
