Partial revert of "powerpc: Individual System V IPC system calls"
This partially reverts commit a3423615. While reviewing the glibc patch to exploit the individual IPC calls, Arnd & Andreas noticed that we were still requiring userspace to pass IPC_64 in order to get the new style IPC API. With a bit of cleanup in the kernel we can drop that requirement, and instead only provide the new style API, which will simplify things for userspace. Rather than try and sneak that patch into 4.4, instead we will drop the individual IPC calls for powerpc, and merge them again in 4.5 once the cleanup patch has gone in. Because we've already added sys_mlock2() as syscall #378, we don't do a full revert of the IPC calls. Instead we drop the __NR #defines, and send those now undefined syscall numbers to sys_ni_syscall(). This leaves a gap in the syscall numbers, but we'll reuse them when we merge the individual IPC calls. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
