Mark Rutland 3085e1645e arm64: remove sigreturn wrappers
The arm64 sigreturn* syscall handlers are non-standard. Rather than
taking a number of user parameters in registers as per the AAPCS,
they expect the pt_regs as their sole argument.

To make this work, we override the syscall definitions to invoke
wrappers written in assembly, which mov the SP into x0, and branch to
their respective C functions.

On other architectures (such as x86), the sigreturn* functions take no
argument and instead use current_pt_regs() to acquire the user
registers. This requires less boilerplate code, and allows for other
features such as interposing C code in this path.

This patch takes the same approach for arm64.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
