Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
 "All architectures are converted to new model.  Quite a bit of that
  stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
  literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.

  A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):

   - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.

     We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
     or kernel_execve():

     kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
     return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
     successful do_execve() before returning.

     kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
     do transition to user mode anymore.

     As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
     arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
     resp.  sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
     architecture-independent.

   - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c

   - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
     copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/-&gt;load_binary/do_coredump.

   - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
     still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
     pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
     kernel/fork.c now."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (113 commits)
  do_coredump(): get rid of pt_regs argument
  print_fatal_signal(): get rid of pt_regs argument
  ptrace_signal(): get rid of unused arguments
  get rid of ptrace_signal_deliver() arguments
  new helper: signal_pt_regs()
  unify default ptrace_signal_deliver
  flagday: kill pt_regs argument of do_fork()
  death to idle_regs()
  don't pass regs to copy_process()
  flagday: don't pass regs to copy_thread()
  bfin: switch to generic vfork, get rid of pointless wrappers
  xtensa: switch to generic clone()
  openrisc: switch to use of generic fork and clone
  unicore32: switch to generic clone(2)
  score: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone
  c6x: sanitize copy_thread(), get rid of clone(2) wrapper, switch to generic clone()

1. On ARM platform, "nohlt" can be used to prevent core from idle
   process, returning immediately.
2. There are two interfaces, exported for other modules, named
   "disable_hlt" and "enable_hlt" are used to enable/disable the
   cpuidle mechanism by increasing/decreasing "hlt_counter".
   Disable_hlt and enable_hlt are paired operation,
   when you first call disable_hlt and then enable_hlt, the
   semantics are right.
3. There is no obvious constraint to prevent user(driver/module)
   code to prevent the case that enable_hlt is ahead of disable_hlt,
   which is a fatal operation on kernel state change from user,
   and there is no any WARNING or notification if the case happens
   in current kernel code.
   This patch aims to report BUG when the case happens, just like
   what the kernel do when enable_irq is ahead of disable_irq.

Pull third pile of kernel_execve() patches from Al Viro:
 "The last bits of infrastructure for kernel_thread() et.al., with
  alpha/arm/x86 use of those.  Plus sanitizing the asm glue and
  do_notify_resume() on alpha, fixing the "disabled irq while running
  task_work stuff" breakage there.

  At that point the rest of kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve work
  can be done independently for different architectures.  The only
  pending bits that do depend on having all architectures converted are
  restrictred to fs/* and kernel/* - that'll obviously have to wait for
  the next cycle.

  I thought we'd have to wait for all of them done before we start
  eliminating the longjump-style insanity in kernel_execve(), but it
  turned out there's a very simple way to do that without flagday-style
  changes."

From Bryan Wu &lt;bryan.wu@canonical.com&gt;:

Based on Linus Walleij's ARM LED consolidation work, this patchset introduce a
new generic led trigger for CPU not only for ARM but also for others.

For enabling CPU idle event, CPU arch code should call ledtrig_cpu() stub to
trigger idle start or idle end event.

These patches convert old style LED driver in arch/arm to gpio_led or new led
driver interface. Against 3.5 release and build successfully for all the machines.

Test ledtrig-cpu driver on OMAP4 Panda board.

v9 --&gt; v10
 * fix compiling issue on versatile_defconfig reported by Russell King
 * rebase to 3.5 kernel and move patches to new git tree

v8 --&gt; v9:
 * use mutex to replace rw_sema pointed out by Tim Gardner
 * add a new struct led_trigger_cpu
 * add lock_is_inited to record mutex lock initialization

v6 --&gt; v7:
 * add a patch to unify the led-trigger name
 * fix some typo pointed
 * use BUG_ON to detect CPU numbers during building stage

v5 --&gt; v6:
 * replace  __get_cpu_var() to per_cpu()
 * remove smp_processor_id() which is wrong with for_each_possible_cpu()
 * test on real OMAP4 Panda board
 * add comments about CPU hotplug in the CPU LED trigger driver

v4 --&gt; v5:
 * rebase all the patches on top of latest linux-next
 * replace on_each_cpu() with for_each_possible_cpu()
 * add some description of ledtrig_cpu() API

Let's hope this is the last time we pull this and it doesn't cause
more trouble. I have verified that version 10 causes no build
warnings or errors any more, and the patches still look good.

From Bryan Wu &lt;bryan.wu@canonical.com&gt;:

Based on Linus Walleij's ARM LED consolidation work, this patchset introduce a
new generic led trigger for CPU not only for ARM but also for others.

For enabling CPU idle event, CPU arch code should call ledtrig_cpu() stub to
trigger idle start or idle end event.

These patches convert old style LED driver in arch/arm to gpio_led or new led
driver interface. Against 3.5 release and build successfully for all the machines.

Test ledtrig-cpu driver on OMAP4 Panda board.

v9 --&gt; v10
 * fix compiling issue on versatile_defconfig reported by Russell King
 * rebase to 3.5 kernel and move patches to new git tree

v8 --&gt; v9:
 * use mutex to replace rw_sema pointed out by Tim Gardner
 * add a new struct led_trigger_cpu
 * add lock_is_inited to record mutex lock initialization

v6 --&gt; v7:
 * add a patch to unify the led-trigger name
 * fix some typo pointed
 * use BUG_ON to detect CPU numbers during building stage

v5 --&gt; v6:
 * replace  __get_cpu_var() to per_cpu()
 * remove smp_processor_id() which is wrong with for_each_possible_cpu()
 * test on real OMAP4 Panda board
 * add comments about CPU hotplug in the CPU LED trigger driver

v4 --&gt; v5:
 * rebase all the patches on top of latest linux-next
 * replace on_each_cpu() with for_each_possible_cpu()
 * add some description of ledtrig_cpu() API
 * remove old leds code from driver nwflash.c, which should use a new led trigger then
 * this trigger driver can be built as module now

v3 --&gt; v4:
