'sub pc, pc, #1b-2b+8-2' results in address<1:0> == '10'.

sub pc, pc, #const (== ADR pc, #const) performs an interworking branch
(BXWritePC()) on ARMv7+ and a simple branch (BranchWritePC()) on earlier
versions.

In ARM state, BXWritePC() is UNPREDICTABLE when address<1:0> == '10'.

In ARM state on ARMv6+, BranchWritePC() ignores address<1:0>.  Before
ARMv6, BranchWritePC() is UNPREDICTABLE if address<1:0> != '00'

So the instruction is UNPREDICTABLE both before and after v6.

We currently return -EPERM if the user requests mode exclusion that is
not supported by the CPU. This looks pretty confusing from userspace
and is inconsistent with other architectures (ppc, x86).

This patch returns -EOPNOTSUPP instead.

This reverts commit 6b5c8045ecc7e726cdaa2a9d9c8e5008050e1252.

The new syscall restarting code can lead to problems if we take an
interrupt in userspace just before restarting the svc instruction. If
a signal is delivered when returning from the interrupt, the
TIF_SYSCALL_RESTARTSYS will remain set and cause any syscalls executed
from the signal handler to be treated as a restart of the previously
interrupted system call. This includes the final sigreturn call, meaning
that we may fail to exit from the signal context. Furthermore, if a
system call made from the signal handler requires a restart via the
restart_block, it is possible to clear the thread flag and fail to
restart the originally interrupted system call.

The right solution to this problem is to perform the restarting in the
kernel, avoiding the possibility of handling a further signal before the
restart is complete. Since we're almost at -rc6, let's revert the new
method for now and aim for in-kernel restarting at a later date.

We need the restart trampoline back so that we can revert a related
problematic patch 6b5c8045ecc7e726cdaa2a9d9c8e5008050e1252 ("arm: new
way of handling ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK").

ARM builds seem to be plagued by an occasional build error:

    Inconsistent kallsyms data
    This is a bug - please report about it
    Try "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1" as a workaround

The problem has to do with alignment of some sections by the linker.
The kallsyms data is built in two passes by first linking the kernel
without it, and then linking the kernel again with the symbols
included.  Normally, this just shifts the symbols, without changing
their order, and the compression used by the kallsyms gives the same
result.

On non SMP, the per CPU data is empty.  Depending on the where the
alignment ends up, it can come out as either:

   +-------------------+
   | last text segment |
   +-------------------+
   /* padding */
   +-------------------+     <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt
   | per cpu (empty)   |
   +-------------------+
__per_cpu_end:
   /* padding */
__data_loc:
   +-------------------+     <- THREAD_SIZE alignment
   | data              |
   +-------------------+

or

   +-------------------+
   | last text segment |
   +-------------------+
   /* padding */
   +-------------------+     <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt
   | per cpu (empty)   |
   +-------------------+
__per_cpu_end:
   /* no padding */
__data_loc:
   +-------------------+     <- THREAD_SIZE alignment
   | data              |
   +-------------------+

if the alignment satisfies both.  Because symbols that have the same
address are sorted by 'nm -n', the second case will be in a different
order than the first case.  This changes the compression, changing the
size of the kallsym data, causing the build failure.

The KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 workaround usually works, but it is still
possible to have the alignment change between the second and third
pass.  It's probably even possible for it to never reach a fixedpoint.

The problem only occurs on non-SMP, when the per-cpu data is empty,
and when the data segment has alignment (and immediately follows the
text segments).  Fix this by only including the per_cpu section on
SMP, when it is not empty.

Fixup entries in the kernel exception tables should be 4-byte aligned
since we return directly to them when handling a faulting instruction in
the kernel.

This patch adds the missing align directives to the fixup entries.

t32_simulate_ldr_literal() can be run without an instruction slot, so it
should be using DECODE_SIMULATEX instead of DECODE_EMULATEX.

Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler();  called when
sigframe has been successfully built.  All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).

I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

Only 3 out of 63 do not.  Renamed the current variant to __set_current_blocked(),
added set_current_blocked() that will exclude unblockable signals, switched
open-coded instances to it.
