<title>powerpc: remove nargs from __SYSCALL</title>

The __SYSCALL macro's arguments are system call number,
system call entry name and number of arguments for the
system call.

Argument- nargs in __SYSCALL(nr, entry, nargs) is neither
calculated nor used anywhere. So it would be better to
keep the implementaion as  __SYSCALL(nr, entry). This will
unifies the implementation with some other architetures
too.

<title>powerpc: split compat syscall table out from native table</title>

PowerPC uses a syscall table with native and compat calls
interleaved, which is a slightly simpler way to define two
matching tables.

As we move to having the tables generated, that advantage
is no longer important, but the interleaved table gets in
the way of using the same scripts as on the other archit-
ectures.

Split out a new compat_sys_call_table symbol that contains
all the compat calls, and leave the main table for the nat-
ive calls, to more closely match the method we use every-
where else.

Move the macro definition for compat_sys_sigsuspend from
asm/systbl.h to the file which it is getting included.

One of the patch in this patch series is generating uapi
header and syscall table files. In order to come up with
a common implimentation across all architecture, we need
to do this change.

This change will simplify the implementation of system
call table generation script and help to come up a common
implementation across all architecture.

<title>powerpc/syscalls: Add COMPAT_SPU_NEW() macro</title>

Currently the select system call is wired up with the SYSX_SPU()
macro. The SYSX_SPU() is not handled by systbl_chk.c, which means the
syscall number for select is not checked.

That hides the fact that the syscall number for select is actually
__NR__newselect not __NR_select.

In a following patch we'd like to drop ppc32_select() which means
select will become a regular COMPAT_SYS_SPU() syscall. But
COMPAT_SYS_SPU() can't deal with the fact that the syscall number is
actually __NR__newselect. We also can't just redefine __NR_select
because that's still used for the old select call.

So add a new COMPAT_NEW_SPU() that does the same thing as
COMPAT_SYS_SPU() except it encodes that we're using the new number.

.llong is an undocumented PPC specific directive. The generic

.8byte.

<title>powerpc: Add a proper syscall for switching endianness</title>

<content type='text'>
We currently have a "special" syscall for switching endianness. This is
syscall number 0x1ebe, which is handled explicitly in the 64-bit syscall
exception entry.

That has a few problems, firstly the syscall number is outside of the
usual range, which confuses various tools. For example strace doesn't
recognise the syscall at all.

Secondly it's handled explicitly as a special case in the syscall
exception entry, which is complicated enough without it.

As a first step toward removing the special syscall, we need to add a
regular syscall that implements the same functionality.

The logic is simple, it simply toggles the MSR_LE bit in the userspace
MSR. This is the same as the special syscall, with the caveat that the
special syscall clobbers fewer registers.

This version clobbers r9-r12, XER, CTR, and CR0-1,5-7.

<title>powerpc: Use standard macros for sys_sigpending() &amp; sys_old_getrlimit()</title>

Currently we have sys_sigpending and sys_old_getrlimit defined to use
COMPAT_SYS() in systbl.h, but then both are #defined to sys_ni_syscall
in systbl.S.

This seems to have been done when ppc and ppc64 were merged, in commit
9994a33 "Introduce entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S".

AFAICS there's no longer (or never was) any need for this, we can just
use SYSX() for both and remove the #defines to sys_ni_syscall.

The expansion before was:

  #define COMPAT_SYS(func)	.llong	.sys_##func,.compat_sys_##func
  #define sys_old_getrlimit sys_ni_syscall
  COMPAT_SYS(old_getrlimit)
  =&gt;
  .llong	.sys_old_getrlimit,.compat_sys_old_getrlimit
  =&gt;
  .llong	.sys_ni_syscall,.compat_sys_old_getrlimit

After is:

  #define SYSX(f, f3264, f32)	.llong	.f,.f3264
  SYSX(sys_ni_syscall, compat_sys_old_getrlimit, sys_old_getrlimit)
  =&gt;
  .llong	.sys_ni_syscall,.compat_sys_old_getrlimit

ie. they are equivalent.

Finally both COMPAT_SYS() and SYSX() evaluate to sys_ni_syscall in the
Cell SPU code.
