Michael Ellerman b9e0805abf powerpc: Add build-time check of ptrace PT_xx defines
As part of the uapi we export a lot of PT_xx defines for each register
in struct pt_regs. These are expressed as an index from gpr[0], in
units of unsigned long.

Currently there's nothing tying the values of those defines to the
actual layout of the struct.

But we *don't* want to change the uapi defines to derive the PT_xx
values based on the layout of the struct, those values are ABI and
must never change.

Instead we want to do the reverse, make sure that the layout of the
struct never changes vs the PT_xx defines. So add build time checks of
that.

This probably seems paranoid, but at least once in the past someone
has sent a patch that would have broken the ABI if it hadn't been
spotted. Although it probably would have been detected via testing,
it's preferable to just quash any issues at the source.

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.

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.
