These two cleanups came out of the shadow stack series[0]. Resending them separately for earlier consideration. They were also posted as separate cleanups once before[1]. Note, Eric Biederman had suggested to change the pre-existing format of REGSET_FOO32 to REGSET32_FOO. This was missed in an earlier revision, and the changes are now added in this version.
There should be no functional change. To verify this, testing included checking for binary differences in ptrace.o by: 1. Have the config be a 64 bit kernel with CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y 2. Adjust stock v6.1-rc1 and these changes to have the same line numbers for the bulk of the code in ptrace.c by adding blank lines. 3. Remove BUILD_BUG_ONs() from new changes. 4. strip and objdump both versions. 5. Compare and find disassembly was identical.
