[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 09/23] um: Add cmpxchg8b_emu and checksum functions to asm-prototypes.h

From: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com>

[ Upstream commit 674d03f6bd6b0f8327f1a4920ff5893557facfbd ]

With CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS, um builds fail due to missing prototypes
in asm/asm-prototypes.h. Add declarations for cmpxchg8b_emu and the
exported checksum functions, including csum_partial_copy_generic as
it's also exported.

**YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees based on the
following analysis:

## Analysis

### Purpose and Context
This commit fixes a build failure in the User Mode Linux (UM)
architecture when `CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS` is enabled. The
`CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS` feature is a new kernel build system enhancement
for generating DWARF-based symbol versioning, which requires proper
prototypes in `asm-prototypes.h` files to generate correct CRCs for
exported symbols.

### Code Changes Analysis

**File 1: `arch/um/include/asm/asm-prototypes.h`**
- **Before**: Only included the generic asm-prototypes.h
- **After**: Added includes for `<asm/checksum.h>` and conditional
  declaration of `cmpxchg8b_emu()` for `CONFIG_UML_X86`

**File 2: `arch/x86/um/asm/checksum.h`**
- **Before**: Only declared `csum_partial()` function
- **After**: Added declaration for `csum_partial_copy_generic()` with a
  comment explaining it's for export type visibility

### Why This Should Be Backported

1. **Fixes Important Build Failures**: This directly addresses build
   failures when `CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS` is enabled for UM architecture,
   as confirmed by the kernel test robot report.

2. **Minimal Risk Changes**:
   - Only adds function declarations, no implementation changes
   - Changes are confined to UM architecture headers
   - No behavioral changes to existing code paths

3. **Follows Established Patterns**: Similar commits in the reference
   history (Similar Commit #1 and #5) that add missing prototypes to
   `asm-prototypes.h` files were marked as "YES" for backporting. This
   follows the exact same pattern.

4. **Critical Infrastructure Fix**: The `asm-prototypes.h`
   infrastructure is essential for proper symbol versioning. Missing
   prototypes can cause genksyms to segfault during build, making this a
   critical build system fix.

5. **Architecture-Specific Scope**: Changes are limited to UM
   architecture, reducing risk of regressions in other subsystems.

6. **Self-Contained**: The fix includes both the missing `cmpxchg8b_emu`
   prototype (conditional on `CONFIG_UML_X86`) and the checksum function
   declarations, making it complete.

### Comparison to Reference Commits
- **Similar to Commit #1**: Adds missing prototypes for genksyms CRC
  generation (Status: YES)
- **Similar to Commit #5**: Fixes missing prototypes causing build
  issues with symbol versioning (Status: YES)
- **Unlike Commits #2, #3, #4**: This is not just a comment update or
  cleanup, but fixes actual build failures

The fix addresses a concrete build failure affecting users who enable
`CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS` with UM, making it an important bugfix that meets
stable tree criteria for backporting.
