s390: open-code s390_personality syscall
Patch series "s390: rework compat wrapper generation". As promised, I gave this a go and changed the SYSCALL_DEFINEx() infrastructure to always include the wrappers for doing the 31-bit argument conversion on s390 compat mode. This does three main things: - The UID16 rework saved a lot of duplicated code, and would probably make sense by itself, but is also required as we can no longer call sys_*() functions directly after the last step. - Removing the compat_wrapper.c file is of course the main goal here, in order to remove the need to maintain the compat_wrapper.c file when new system calls get added. Unfortunately, this requires adding some complexity in syscall_wrapper.h, and trades a small reduction in source code lines for a small increase in binary size for unused wrappers. - As an added benefit, the use of syscall_wrapper.h now makes it easy to change the syscall wrappers so they no longer see all user space register contents, similar to changes done in commits fa697140f9a2 ("syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling convention for 64-bit syscalls") and 4378a7d4be30 ("arm64: implement syscall wrappers"). I leave the actual implementation of this for you, if you want to do it later. I did not test the changes at runtime, but I looked at the generated object code, which seems fine here and includes the same conversions as before. This patch(of 5): The sys_personality function is not meant to be called from other system calls. We could introduce an intermediate ksys_personality function, but it does almost nothing, so this just moves the implementation into the caller.
