Pull clone3 system call from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the clone3 syscall which is an extensible successor to clone
  after we snagged the last flag with CLONE_PIDFD during the 5.2 merge
  window for clone(). It cleanly supports all of the flags from clone()
  and thus all legacy workloads.

  There are few user visible differences between clone3 and clone.
  First, CLONE_DETACHED will cause EINVAL with clone3 so we can reuse
  this flag. Second, the CSIGNAL flag is deprecated and will cause
  EINVAL to be reported. It is superseeded by a dedicated "exit_signal"
  argument in struct clone_args thus freeing up even more flags. And
  third, clone3 gives CLONE_PIDFD a dedicated return argument in struct
  clone_args instead of abusing CLONE_PARENT_SETTID's parent_tidptr
  argument.

  The clone3 uapi is designed to be easy to handle on 32- and 64 bit:

    /* uapi */
    struct clone_args {
            __aligned_u64 flags;
            __aligned_u64 pidfd;
            __aligned_u64 child_tid;
            __aligned_u64 parent_tid;
            __aligned_u64 exit_signal;
            __aligned_u64 stack;
            __aligned_u64 stack_size;
            __aligned_u64 tls;
    };

  and a separate kernel struct is used that uses proper kernel typing:

    /* kernel internal */
    struct kernel_clone_args {
            u64 flags;
            int __user *pidfd;
            int __user *child_tid;
            int __user *parent_tid;
            int exit_signal;
            unsigned long stack;
            unsigned long stack_size;
            unsigned long tls;
    };

  The system call comes with a size argument which enables the kernel to
  detect what version of clone_args userspace is passing in. clone3
  validates that any additional bytes a given kernel does not know about
  are set to zero and that the size never exceeds a page.

  A nice feature is that this patchset allowed us to cleanup and
  simplify various core kernel codepaths in kernel/fork.c by making the
  internal _do_fork() function take struct kernel_clone_args even for
  legacy clone().

  This patch also unblocks the time namespace patchset which wants to
  introduce a new CLONE_TIMENS flag.

  Note, that clone3 has only been wired up for x86{_32,64}, arm{64}, and
  xtensa. These were the architectures that did not require special
  massaging.

  Other architectures treat fork-like system calls individually and
  after some back and forth neither Arnd nor I felt confident that we
  dared to add clone3 unconditionally to all architectures. We agreed to
  leave this up to individual architecture maintainers. This is why
  there's an additional patch that introduces __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
  which any architecture can set once it has implemented support for
  clone3. The patch also adds a cond_syscall(clone3) for architectures
  such as nios2 or h8300 that generate their syscall table by simply
  including asm-generic/unistd.h. The hope is to get rid of
  __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 and cond_syscall() rather soon"

This cleanly handles arches who do not yet define clone3.

clone3() was initially placed under __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE under the
assumption that this would cleanly handle all architectures. It does
not.
Architectures such as nios2 or h8300 simply take the asm-generic syscall
definitions and generate their syscall table from it. Since they don't
define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE the build would fail complaining about
sys_clone3 missing. The reason this doesn't happen for legacy clone is
that nios2 and h8300 provide assembly stubs for sys_clone. This seems to
be done for architectural reasons.

The build failures for nios2 and h8300 were caught int -next luckily.
The solution is to define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 that architectures can
add. Additionally, we need a cond_syscall(clone3) for architectures such
as nios2 or h8300 that generate their syscall table in the way I
explained above.

<title>y2038: rename old time and utime syscalls</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d33c577cccd0b3e5bb2425f85037f26714a59363</id>
<content type='text'>
The time, stime, utime, utimes, and futimesat system calls are only
used on older architectures, and we do not provide y2038 safe variants
of them, as they are replaced by clock_gettime64, clock_settime64,
and utimensat_time64.

However, for consistency it seems better to have the 32-bit architectures
that still use them call the "time32" entry points (leaving the
traditional handlers for the 64-bit architectures), like we do for system
calls that now require two versions.

Note: We used to always define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME and
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME and only set __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_TIME and
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME32 for compat mode on 64-bit kernels. Now this is
reversed: only 64-bit architectures set __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME/UTIME, while
we need __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME32/UTIME32 for 32-bit architectures and compat
mode. The resulting asm/unistd.h changes look a bit counterintuitive.

This is only a cleanup patch and it should not change any behavior.

<title>ARM: add migrate_pages() system call</title>

<content type='text'>
The migrate_pages system call has an assigned number on all architectures
except ARM. When it got added initially in commit d80ade7b3231 ("ARM:
Fix warning: #warning syscall migrate_pages not implemented"), it was
intentionally left out based on the observation that there are no 32-bit
ARM NUMA systems.

However, there are now arm64 NUMA machines that can in theory run 32-bit
kernels (actually enabling NUMA there would require additional work)
as well as 32-bit user space on 64-bit kernels, so that argument is no
longer very strong.

Assigning the number lets us use the system call on 64-bit kernels as well
as providing a more consistent set of syscalls across architectures.

<title>y2038: Compile utimes()/futimesat() conditionally</title>

<id>urn:sha1:185cfaf7641e14af85635bb2750da302e32b04e3</id>
<content type='text'>
There are four generations of utimes() syscalls: utime(), utimes(),
futimesat() and utimensat(), each one being a superset of the previous
one. For y2038 support, we have to add another one, which is the same
as the existing utimensat() but always passes 64-bit times_t based
timespec values.

There are currently 10 architectures that only use utimensat(), two
that use utimes(), futimesat() and utimensat() but not utime(), and 11
architectures that have all four, and those define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME
in order to get a sys_utime implementation. Since all the new
architectures only want utimensat(), moving all the legacy entry points
into a common __ARCH_WANT_SYS_UTIME guard simplifies the logic. Only alpha
and ia64 grow a tiny bit as they now also get an unused sys_utime(),
but it didn't seem worth the extra complexity of adding yet another
ifdef for those.

<title>asm-generic: Remove unneeded __ARCH_WANT_SYS_LLSEEK macro</title>

<id>urn:sha1:caf6f9c8a326cffd1d4b3ff3f1cfba75d159d70b</id>
<content type='text'>
The sys_llseek sytem call is needed on all 32-bit architectures and
none of the 64-bit ones, so we can remove the __ARCH_WANT_SYS_LLSEEK guard
and simplify the include/asm-generic/unistd.h header further.

Since 32-bit tasks can run either natively or in compat mode on 64-bit
architectures, we have to check for both !CONFIG_64BIT and CONFIG_COMPAT.

There are a few 64-bit architectures that also reference sys_llseek
in their 64-bit ABI (e.g. sparc), but I verified that those all
select CONFIG_COMPAT, so the #if check is still correct here. It's
a bit odd to include it in the syscall table though, as it's the
same as sys_lseek() on 64-bit, but with strange calling conventions.

<id>urn:sha1:82b355d161c9525ab8838cc27d3200bc3bc9082d</id>
<content type='text'>
We have four generations of stat() syscalls:
- the oldstat syscalls that are only used on the older architectures
- the newstat family that is used on all 64-bit architectures but
  lacked support for large files on 32-bit architectures.
- the stat64 family that is used mostly on 32-bit architectures to
  replace newstat
- statx() to replace all of the above, adding 64-bit timestamps among
  other things.

We already compile stat64 only on those architectures that need it,
but newstat is always built, including on those that don't reference
it. This adds a new __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT symbol along the lines of
__ARCH_WANT_OLD_STAT and __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 to control compilation of
newstat. All architectures that need it use an explict define, the
others now get a little bit smaller, and future architecture (including
64-bit targets) won't ever see it.

Convert ARM to use a similar mechanism to x86 to generate the unistd.h
system call numbers and the various kernel system call tables.  This
means that rather than having to edit three places (asm/unistd.h for
the total number of system calls, uapi/asm/unistd.h for the system call
numbers, and arch/arm/kernel/calls.S for the call table) we have only
one place to edit, making the process much more simple.

The scripts have knowledge of the table padding requirements, so there's
no need to worry about __NR_syscalls not fitting within the immediate
constant field of ALU instructions anymore.
