Less code means less bugs so add a knob to skip the compat stuff.
Changes in v2: saner CONFIG_COMPAT ifdefs
Changes in v3:
- change llseek to 32bit instead of builing it unconditionally in fs
- clanup the makefile conditionals
- remove some ifdefs or convert to IS_DEFINED where possible
Changes
This partially reverts commit caf6f9c8a326 ("asm-generic: Remove
unneeded __ARCH_WANT_SYS_LLSEEK macro")
When CONFIG_COMPAT is disabled on ppc64 the kernel does not build.
There is resistance to both removing the llseek syscall from the 64bit
syscall tables and building the llseek interface uncon

completion uses a wait_queue_head_t to enqueue waiters.
wait_queue_head_t contains a spinlock_t to protect the list of waiters
which excludes it from being used in truly atomic context on a PREEMPT_RT
enabled kernel.

With both the increased use of swait and kvm no longer using
it, we can reword some of the comments. While removing Linus'
valid rant, I've also cared to explicitly mention that swait
is very different than regular wait. In addition it is

The use of any sort of waitqueue (simple or regular) for
wait/waking vcpus has always been an overkill and semantically
wrong. Because this is per-vcpu (which is blocked) there is
only ever a single waiting vcpu, thus no need for any sort of
queue.
As such, make use of the rcuwait primitive, with
Let the caller know if wake_up_process() was actually called or not;
some users can use this information for ad-hoc. Of course returning
true does not guarantee that wake_up_process() actually woke anything
up.
