The truncate syscall has a signed long parameter, so when using a 32-
bit userspace with a 64-bit kernel the argument is zero-extended
instead of sign-extended. Adding the compat_sys_truncate function
fixes the issue.
This was noticed during an LSB truncate test failure. The test was
checking for the correct error number set when truncate is called with
a length of -1. The test can be found at:

BenH: Added compat_sys_ftruncate() as well, same issue.

Merge reason: the conflicts are non-trivial: PowerPC placement
of sys_perf_counter_open has to be mixed with the
new preadv/pwrite syscalls.

Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but
currently only x86 and mips provide one. Add a generic compat_sys_ustat
and switch all architectures over to it. Instead of doing various
user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as
it's trivial. This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann.
Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes
stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of
data writen by the syscall.

This fixes three issues noticed by Arnd Bergmann:
- Add #ifdef __KERNEL__ and move some things around in perf_counter.h
to make sure only the bits that userspace needs are exported to
userspace.
- Use __u64, __s64, __u32 types in the structs exported to userspace
rather than u64, s64, u32.
- Make the sys_perf_counter_open syscall available to the SPUs on
Cell platforms.
And one issue that I noticed in looking at the code again:
- Wrap the perf_counter_open syscall with SYSCALL_DEFINE4 so we get
the proper handling of int arguments on ppc64 (and some other 64-bit
architectures).

Use the generic compat_sys_old_readdir instead of the powerpc one which
is almost the same except for the almost complete lack of error
handling.
Note that we can't just use SYSCALL() in systbl.h because the native
syscall is named old_readdir, not sys_old_readdir.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
