Pull ia64 removal and asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:

 - The ia64 architecture gets its well-earned retirement as planned,
   now that there is one last (mostly) working release that will be
   maintained as an LTS kernel.

 - The architecture specific system call tables are updated for the
   added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references to the
   long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

* tag 'asm-generic-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic:
  hexagon: Remove unusable symbols from the ptrace.h uapi
  asm-generic: Fix spelling of architecture

  syscalls: Cleanup references to sys_lookup_dcookie()
  Documentation: Drop or replace remaining mentions of IA64

<content type='text'>
commit c35559f94ebc ("x86/shstk: Introduce map_shadow_stack syscall")
recently added support for map_shadow_stack() but it is limited to x86
only for now. There is a possibility that other architectures (namely,
arm64 and RISC-V), that are implementing equivalent support for shadow
stacks, might need to add support for it.

Independent of that, reserving arch-specific syscall numbers in the
syscall tables of all architectures is good practice and would help
avoid future conflicts. map_shadow_stack() is marked as a conditional
syscall in sys_ni.c. Adding it to the syscall tables of other
architectures is harmless and would return ENOSYS when exercised.

Note, map_shadow_stack() was assigned #453 during the merge process
since #452 was taken by fchmodat2().

For Powerpc, map it to sys_ni_syscall() as is the norm for Powerpc
syscall tables.

For Alpha, map_shadow_stack() takes up #563 as Alpha still diverges from
the common syscall numbering system in the other architectures.

commit 'be65de6b03aa ("fs: Remove dcookies support")' removed the
syscall definition for lookup_dcookie.  However, syscall tables still
point to the old sys_lookup_dcookie() definition. Update syscall tables
of all architectures to directly point to sys_ni_syscall() instead.

<content type='text'>
Finish off the 'simple' futex2 syscall group by adding
sys_futex_requeue(). Unlike sys_futex_{wait,wake}() its arguments are
too numerous to fit into a regular syscall. As such, use struct
futex_waitv to pass the 'source' and 'destination' futexes to the
syscall.

This syscall implements what was previously known as FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE
and uses {val, uaddr, flags} for source and {uaddr, flags} for
destination.

This design explicitly allows requeueing between different types of
futex by having a different flags word per uaddr.

To complement sys_futex_waitv()/wake(), add sys_futex_wait(). This
syscall implements what was previously known as FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET
except it uses 'unsigned long' for the value and bitmask arguments,
takes timespec and clockid_t arguments for the absolute timeout and
uses FUTEX2 flags.

The 'unsigned long' allows FUTEX2_SIZE_U64 on 64bit platforms.

This registers the new fchmodat2 syscall in most places as nuber 452,
with alpha being the exception where it's 562.  I found all these sites
by grepping for fspick, which I assume has found me everything.

With the introduction of syscall wrappers all wrappers for syscalls with
64-bit arguments must be handled specially, not only those that have
unaligned 64-bit arguments. This left out the fallocate() and
sync_file_range2() syscalls.

Fixes: 7e92e01b7245 ("powerpc: Provide syscall wrapper")
Fixes: e23750623835 ("powerpc/32: fix syscall wrappers with 64-bit arguments of unaligned register-pairs")

powerpc 32-bit system call (and function) calling convention for 64-bit
arguments requires the next available odd-pair (two sequential registers
with the first being odd-numbered) from the standard register argument
allocation.

The first argument register is r3, so a 64-bit argument that appears at
an even position in the argument list must skip a register (unless there
were preceding 64-bit arguments, which might throw things off). This
requires non-standard compat definitions to deal with the holes in the
argument register allocation.

With pt_regs syscall wrappers which use a standard mapper to map pt_regs
GPRs to function arguments, 32-bit kernels hit the same basic problem,
the standard definitions don't cope with the unused argument registers.

Fix this by having 32-bit kernels share those syscall definitions with
compat.

Thanks to Jason for spending a lot of time finding and bisecting this
and developing a trivial reproducer. The perfect bug report.
