Commit 0515e5999a466dfe ("bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
program type") introduced the bpf_perf_event_data structure which
exports the pt_regs structure.  This is OK for multiple architectures
but fail for s390 and arm64 which do not export pt_regs.  Programs
using them, for example, the bpf selftest fail to compile on these
architectures.

For s390, exporting the pt_regs is not an option because s390 wants
to allow changes to it.  For arm64, there is a user_pt_regs structure
that covers parts of the pt_regs structure for use by user space.

To solve the broken uapi for s390 and arm64, introduce an abstract
type for pt_regs and add an asm/bpf_perf_event.h file that concretes
the type.  An asm-generic header file covers the architectures that
export pt_regs today.

The arch-specific enablement for s390 and arm64 follows in separate
commits.

<title>mm: switch to 'define pmd_write' instead of __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE</title>

<content type='text'>
In response to compile breakage introduced by a series that added the
pud_write helper to x86, Stephen notes:

    did you consider using the other paradigm:

    In arch include files:
    #define pud_write       pud_write
    static inline int pud_write(pud_t pud)
     .....

    Then in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:

    #ifndef pud_write
    tatic inline int pud_write(pud_t pud)
    {
            ....
    }
    #endif

    If you had, then the powerpc code would have worked ... ;-) and many
    of the other interfaces in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h are
    protected that way ...

Given that some architecture already define pmd_write() as a macro, it's
a net reduction to drop the definition of __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE.

Commit a7be6e5a7f8d ("mm: drop useless local parameters of
__register_one_node()") removed the last user of parent_node().

The parent_node() macro in tile platform is unnecessary.

Remove it for cleanup.

<title>mm: remove cold parameter from free_hot_cold_page*</title>

<content type='text'>
Most callers users of free_hot_cold_page claim the pages being released
are cache hot.  The exception is the page reclaim paths where it is
likely that enough pages will be freed in the near future that the
per-cpu lists are going to be recycled and the cache hotness information
is lost.  As no one really cares about the hotness of pages being
released to the allocator, just ditch the parameter.

The APIs are renamed to indicate that it's no longer about hot/cold
pages.  It should also be less confusing as there are subtle differences
between them.  __free_pages drops a reference and frees a page when the
refcount reaches zero.  free_hot_cold_page handled pages whose refcount
was already zero which is non-obvious from the name.  free_unref_page
should be more obvious.

No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal.  The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

<id>urn:sha1:4d2dc2cc766c3b51929658cacbc6e34fc8e242fb</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, we're capping the values too low in the F_GETLK64 case. The
fields in that structure are 64-bit values, so we shouldn't need to do
any sort of fixup there.

Make sure we check that assumption at build time in the future however
by ensuring that the sizes we're copying will fit.

With this, we no longer need COMPAT_LOFF_T_MAX either, so remove it.

Fixes: 94073ad77fff2 (fs/locks: don't mess with the address limit in compat_fcntl64)
