b4fe19f78e Merge tag 'arm64-uapi' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64
Pull arm64 uapi disintegration from Catalin Marinas:
 "UAPI headers for arm64 together with some clean-up to make it
  possible:
   - Do not export the COMPAT_* definitions to user
   - Simplify the compat unistd32.h definitions and remove the
     __SYSCALL_COMPAT guard
   - Disintegrate the arch/arm64/include/asm/* headers"

* tag 'arm64-uapi' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64:
  UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate arch/arm64/include/asm
  arm64: Do not export the compat-specific definitions to the user
  arm64: Do not include asm/unistd32.h in asm/unistd.h
  arm64: Remove unused definitions from asm/unistd32.h

91a27b2a75 vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.

For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.

This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.

Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

f3d447a97f arm64: Do not include asm/unistd32.h in asm/unistd.h
This patch only includes asm/unistd32.h where necessary and removes its
inclusion in the asm/unistd.h file. The __SYSCALL_COMPAT guard is
dropped.

e048d004a5 arm64: Use the generic compat_sys_sendfile() implementation
The generic implementation of compat_sys_sendfile() has been introduced
by commit 8f9c0119. This patch removes the arm64 implementation in
favour of the generic one.

3dd681d944 arm64: 32-bit (compat) applications support
This patch adds support for 32-bit applications. The vectors page is a
binary blob mapped into the application user space at 0xffff0000 (the
AArch64 toolchain does not support compilation of AArch32 code). Full
compatibility with ARMv7 user space is supported. The use of deprecated
ARMv7 functionality (SWP, CP15 barriers) has been disabled by default on
AArch64 kernels and unaligned LDM/STM is not supported.

Please note that only the ARM 32-bit EABI is supported, so no OABI
compatibility.
