To pick the changes in these csets:

  e237506238352f3b ("powerpc/32: fix syscall wrappers with 64-bit arguments of unaligned register-pairs")

That doesn't cause any changes in the perf tools.

As a reminder, this table is used in tools perf to allow features such as:

<title>powerpc: Adopt SYSCALL_DEFINE for arch-specific syscall handlers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dec20c50df79cadaff17e964ef7f622491a52134</id>
<content type='text'>
Arch-specific implementations of syscall handlers are currently used
over generic implementations for the following reasons:

1. Semantics unique to powerpc
2. Compatibility syscalls require 'argument padding' to comply with
   64-bit argument convention in ELF32 abi.
3. Parameter types or order is different in other architectures.

These syscall handlers have been defined prior to this patch series
without invoking the SYSCALL_DEFINE or COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macros with
custom input and output types. We remove every such direct definition in
favour of the aforementioned macros.

Also update syscalls.tbl in order to refer to the symbol names generated
by each of these macros. Since ppc64_personality can be called by both
64 bit and 32 bit binaries through compatibility, we must generate both
both compat_sys_ and sys_ symbols for this handler.

As an aside:
A number of architectures including arm and powerpc agree on an
alternative argument order and numbering for most of these arch-specific
handlers. A future patch series may allow for asm/unistd.h to signal
through its defines that a generic implementation of these syscall
handlers with the correct calling convention be emitted, through the
__ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_... convention.

<title>powerpc/32: Remove powerpc select specialisation</title>

<content type='text'>
Syscall #82 has been implemented for 32-bit platforms in a unique way on
powerpc systems. This hack will in effect guess whether the caller is
expecting new select semantics or old select semantics. It does so via a
guess, based off the first parameter. In new select, this parameter
represents the length of a user-memory array of file descriptors, and in
old select this is a pointer to an arguments structure.

The heuristic simply interprets sufficiently large values of its first
parameter as being a call to old select. The following is a discussion
on how this syscall should be handled.


As discussed in this thread, the existence of such a hack suggests that for
whatever powerpc binaries may predate glibc, it is most likely that they
would have taken use of the old select semantics. x86 and arm64 both
implement this syscall with oldselect semantics.

Remove the powerpc implementation, and update syscall.tbl to refer to emit
a reference to sys_old_select and compat_sys_old_select
for 32-bit binaries, in keeping with how other architectures support
syscall #82.

The bdflush system call has been deprecated for a very long time.
Recently Michael Schmitz tested[1] and found that the last known
caller of of the bdflush system call is unaffected by it's removal.

Since the code is not needed delete it.

<title>tools headers UAPI: Sync files changed by the quotactl_fd new syscall</title>

<content type='text'>
To pick the changes in these csets:

  64c2c2c62f92339b ("quota: Change quotactl_path() systcall to an fd-based one")
  65ffb3d69ed3da28 ("quota: Wire up quotactl_fd syscall")

That silences these perf build warnings and add support for those new
syscalls in tools such as 'perf trace'.

For instance, this is now possible:

  # perf trace -v -e quota*
  event qualifier tracepoint filter: (common_pid != 158365 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 2512) &amp;&amp; (id == 179 || id == 443)
  ^C#

That is the filter expression attached to the raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}
tracepoints.

  $ grep quota tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
  179	common	quotactl		sys_quotactl
  443	common	quotactl_fd		sys_quotactl_fd
  $

This addresses these perf build warnings:
