Tycho Andersen 2a040f9f39 seccomp, ptrace: switch get_metadata types to arch independent
Commit 26500475ac ("ptrace, seccomp: add support for retrieving seccomp
metadata") introduced `struct seccomp_metadata`, which contained unsigned
longs that should be arch independent. The type of the flags member was
chosen to match the corresponding argument to seccomp(), and so we need
something at least as big as unsigned long. My understanding is that __u64
should fit the bill, so let's switch both types to that.

While this is userspace facing, it was only introduced in 4.16-rc2, and so
should be safe assuming it goes in before then.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
