Shuffle the syscall prototypes in include/linux/compat.h around so that they are kept in the same order as in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h. The individual entries are kept the same, and neither modified to bring them in line with kernel coding style nor wrapped in proper ifdefs -- as an exception to this, add the prefix "asmlinkage" where it was missing.

As the syscall functions should only be called from the system call table but not from elsewhere in the kernel, it is sufficient that they are defined in linux/compat.h. Cc: David S.

Same as with other system calls, sys_sigreturn() should return a value of type long, not unsigned long. This also matches the behaviour for IA32_EMULATION, see sys32_sigreturn() in arch/x86/ia32/ia32_signal.c .

Using the ksys_fadvise64_64() helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_fadvise64_64() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as ksys_fadvise64_64(). Some compat stubs called sys_fadvise64(), which then just passed through the arguments to sys_fadvise64_64(). Get rid of this indirection, and call ksys_fadvise64_64() directly.

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_mount() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_mount(). In the near future, all callers of ksys_mount() should be converted to call do_mount() directly. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
