Pull ptrace cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
  the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
  permission check to ptrace.c

  The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
  source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around
  task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the
  semantics clearer).

  For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
  implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
  was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
  years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
  bit at a time. To the point where anything left in tracehook.h was
  some weird strange thing that was difficult to understand"

Rename tracehook_report_syscall_{entry,exit} to
ptrace_report_syscall_{entry,exit} and place them in ptrace.h

There is no longer any generic tracehook infractructure so make
these ptrace specific functions ptrace specific.

<title>powerpc: Move C prototypes out of asm-prototypes.h</title>

<content type='text'>
We originally added asm-prototypes.h in commit 42f5b4cacd78 ("powerpc:
Introduce asm-prototypes.h"). It's purpose was for prototypes of C
functions that are only called from asm, in order to fix sparse
warnings about missing prototypes.

A few months later Nick added a different use case in
commit 4efca4ed05cb ("kbuild: modversions for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm")
for C prototypes for exported asm functions. This is basically the
inverse of our original usage.

Since then we've added various prototypes to asm-prototypes.h for both
reasons, meaning we now need to unstitch it all.

Dispatch prototypes of C functions into relevant headers and keep
only the prototypes for functions defined in assembly.

For the time being, leave prom_init() there because moving it
into asm/prom.h or asm/setup.h conflicts with
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/bios/shadowrom.o
This will be fixed later by untaggling asm/pci.h and asm/prom.h
or by renaming the function in shadowrom.c

Merge a topic branch we are maintaining with some cross-architecture
changes to function descriptor handling and their use in LKDTM.

From Christophe's cover letter:

Fix LKDTM for PPC64/IA64/PARISC

PPC64/IA64/PARISC have function descriptors. LKDTM doesn't work on those
three architectures because LKDTM messes up function descriptors with
functions.

This series does some cleanup in the three architectures and refactors
function descriptors so that it can then easily use it in a generic way
in LKDTM.

Replace HAVE_DEREFERENCE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTOR by a config option
named CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS and use it instead of
'dereference_function_descriptor' macro to know whether an
arch has function descriptors.

To limit churn in one of the following patches, use
an #ifdef/#else construct with empty first part
instead of an #ifndef in asm-generic/sections.h

On powerpc, make sure the config option matches the ABI used
by the compiler with a BUILD_BUG_ON() and add missing _CALL_ELF=2
when calling 'sparse' so that sparse sees the same piece of
code as GCC.

And include a helper to check whether an arch has function
descriptors or not : have_function_descriptors()

Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are disabled,
the flags can change under our feet. Generally this is unlikely to cause a
problem in practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and KCSAN will
legitimately warn that there is a data race.

To avoid such issues, a snapshot of the flags has to be taken prior to
using them. Some places already use READ_ONCE() for that, others do not.

Convert them all to the new flag accessor helpers.

When an interrupt is taken, the SRR registers are set to return to where
it left off. Unless they are modified in the meantime, or the return
address or MSR are modified, there is no need to reload these registers
when returning from interrupt.

Introduce per-CPU flags that track the validity of SRR and HSRR
registers. These are cleared when returning from interrupt, when
using the registers for something else (e.g., OPAL calls), when
adjusting the return address or MSR of a context, and when context
switching (which changes the return address and MSR).

This improves the performance of interrupt returns.
