Since sys_sysctl is deprecated start allow it to be compiled out. This
should catch any remaining user space code that cares, and paves the way
for further sysctl cleanups.

Switched to use of sys_pread64()/sys_pwrite64() rather than keep duplicating
their guts; among the little things that had been missing there were such as
ret = security_file_permission (file, MAY_READ);
Gotta love the LSM robustness, right?

We had a copy of the compatibility version of struct timex in each 64 bit
architecture. This patch just creates a global one and replaces all the
usages of the old ones.

This patch adjusts the offset argument passed into sys_mmap2 to be
always shifted 12, even when the native page size isn't 4K. This is
what all existing userspace libraries expect.

In particular, allow over-large read- or write-requests to be downgraded
to a more reasonable range, rather than considering them outright errors.
We want to protect lower layers from (the sadly all too common) overflow
conditions, but prefer to do so by chopping the requests up, rather than
just refusing them outright.

When I first wrote the compat layer patches, I was somewhat cavalier about
the definition of compat_uid_t and compat_gid_t (or maybe I just
misunderstood :-)). This patch makes the compat types much more consistent
with the types we are being compatible with and hopefully will fix a few
bugs along the way.
compat type type in compat arch
__compat_[ug]id_t __kernel_[ug]id_t
__compat_[ug]id32_t __kernel_[ug]id32_t
compat_[ug]id_t [ug]id_t
The difference is that compat_uid_t is always 32 bits (for the archs we
care about) but __compat_uid_t may be 16 bits on some.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
