Using the net-internal helpers __compat_sys_...msg() allows us to avoid the internal calls to the compat_sys_...msg() syscalls. compat_sys_recvmmsg() is handled in a different patch. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

The non-compat codepaths for sys_...msg() verify that MSG_CMSG_COMPAT is not set. By moving this check to the __sys_...msg() functions (and making it dependent on a static flag passed to this function), we can call the __sys...msg() functions instead of the syscall functions in all cases. __sys_recvmmsg() does not need this trickery, as the check is handled within the do_sys_recvmmsg() function internal to net/socket.c. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

sys_futex() is a wrapper to do_futex() which does not modify any values here: - uaddr, val and val3 are kept the same - op is masked with FUTEX_CMD_MASK, but is always set to FUTEX_WAKE. Therefore, val2 is always 0. - as utime is set to NULL, *timeout is NULL This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.

do_kexec_load() can be called directly by compat_sys_kexec() as long as the same parameters checks are completed which are currently handled (also) by sys_kexec(). Therefore, move those to kexec_load_check(), call that newly introduced helper function from both sys_kexec() and compat_sys_kexec(), and duplicate the remaining code from sys_kexec() in compat_sys_kexec().

The syscall entry points to the kernel defined by SYSCALL_DEFINEx() and COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() should only be called from userspace through kernel entry points, but not from the kernel itself. This will allow cleanups and optimizations to the entry paths *and* to the parts of the kernel code which currently need to pretend to be userspace in order to make use of syscalls.

On the CP110 components which are present on the Armada 7K/8K SoC we need to explicitly enable the clock for the registers. However it is not needed for the AP8xx component, that's why this clock is optional. With this patch both clock have now a name, but in order to be backward compatible, the name of the first clock is not used. It allows to still use this clock with a device tree using the old binding.
