Pull removal of most of fs/compat_ioctl.c from Arnd Bergmann:
 "As part of the cleanup of some remaining y2038 issues, I came to
  fs/compat_ioctl.c, which still has a couple of commands that need
  support for time64_t.

  In completely unrelated work, I spent time on cleaning up parts of
  this file in the past, moving things out into drivers instead.

  After Al Viro reviewed an earlier version of this series and did a lot
  more of that cleanup, I decided to try to completely eliminate the
  rest of it and move it all into drivers.

  This series incorporates some of Al's work and many patches of my own,
  but in the end stops short of actually removing the last part, which
  is the scsi ioctl handlers. I have patches for those as well, but they
  need more testing or possibly a rewrite"

<title>vsock/vmci: register vmci_transport only when VMCI guest/host are active</title>

<content type='text'>
To allow other transports to be loaded with vmci_transport,
we register the vmci_transport as G2H or H2G only when a VMCI guest
or host is active.

To do that, this patch adds a callback registered in the vmci driver
that will be called when the host or guest becomes active.
This callback will register the vmci_transport in the VSOCK core.

<title>compat_ioctl: move more drivers to compat_ptr_ioctl</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1832f2d8ff69138aa70d3cb3b4ea3c2058e73aea</id>
<content type='text'>
The .ioctl and .compat_ioctl file operations have the same prototype so
they can both point to the same function, which works great almost all
the time when all the commands are compatible.

One exception is the s390 architecture, where a compat pointer is only
31 bit wide, and converting it into a 64-bit pointer requires calling
compat_ptr(). Most drivers here will never run in s390, but since we now
have a generic helper for it, it's easy enough to use it consistently.

I double-checked all these drivers to ensure that all ioctl arguments
are used as pointers or are ignored, but are not interpreted as integer
values.

<title>mm/gup: change GUP fast to use flags rather than a write 'bool'</title>

<content type='text'>
To facilitate additional options to get_user_pages_fast() change the
singular write parameter to be gup_flags.

This patch does not change any functionality.  New functionality will
follow in subsequent patches.

Some of the get_user_pages_fast() call sites were unchanged because they
already passed FOLL_WRITE or 0 for the write parameter.

NOTE: It was suggested to change the ordering of the get_user_pages_fast()
arguments to ensure that callers were converted.  This breaks the current
GUP call site convention of having the returned pages be the final
parameter.  So the suggestion was rejected.

<title>Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function</title>

<content type='text'>
Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

module.h already contains moduleparam.h,  so it is safe to remove
the redundant include.

The issue is detected with the help of Coccinelle.
