Subject: [PATCH v8 5/7] powerpc/64: make buildable without CONFIG_COMPAT

There are numerous references to 32bit functions in generic and 64bit
code so ifdef them out.

Signed-off-by: Michal Suchanek <[email protected]>
---
v2:
- fix 32bit ifdef condition in signal.c
- simplify the compat ifdef condition in vdso.c - 64bit is redundant
- simplify the compat ifdef condition in callchain.c - 64bit is redundant
v3:
- use IS_ENABLED and maybe_unused where possible
- do not ifdef declarations
- clean up Makefile
v4:
- further makefile cleanup
- simplify is_32bit_task conditions
- avoid ifdef in condition by using return
v5:
- avoid unreachable code on 32bit
- make is_current_64bit constant on !COMPAT
- add stub perf_callchain_user_32 to avoid some ifdefs
v6:
- consolidate current_is_64bit
v7:
- remove leftover perf_callchain_user_32 stub from previous series version
v8:
- fix build again - too trigger-happy with stub removal
- remove a vdso.c hunk that causes warning according to kbuild test robot

Yes I agree. By making prior to this patch a separate patch which drops
current_is_64bit() would be good. And it would reduce the size of this
patch by approximately one third.

Since at least commit ed1cd6deb013 ("powerpc: Activate
CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK")
[https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ed1cd6d]
the above comment is wrong and current_is_64bit() is equivalent to
!is_32bit_task()

See https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/275

I aim at changing the code as little as possible here. A separate patch
on top removing this function would be ok?
