<title>arm64: fix padding computation in struct ucontext</title>

<id>18931c892724cb9408811c793fe2656d11573b3a</id>
<content type='text'>
The expression to compute the padding needed to fill the uc_sigmask field
to 1024 bits actually computes the padding needed for 1080 bits.
Fortunately, due to the 16-byte alignment of the following field
(uc_mcontext) the definition in glibc contains enough bytes of padding
after uc_sigmask so that the overall offsets and size match in both
definitions.

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "This is the first pile; another one will come a bit later and will
  contain SYSCALL_DEFINE-related patches.

   - a bunch of signal-related syscalls (both native and compat)
     unified.

   - a bunch of compat syscalls switched to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
     (fixing several potential problems with missing argument
     validation, while we are at it)

   - a lot of now-pointless wrappers killed

   - a couple of architectures (cris and hexagon) forgot to save
     altstack settings into sigframe, even though they used the
     (uninitialized) values in sigreturn; fixed.

   - microblaze fixes for delivery of multiple signals arriving at once

   - saner set of helpers for signal delivery introduced, several
     architectures switched to using those."

  Further, we now have a separate platform for virtual machines and qemu
  booting that is used by both Xen and KVM, separating these from the
  Versatile Express reference implementation.  Obviously, this new
  platform is multiplatform capable so it can be combined with existing

<id>ec45d1cfd3cb65121fc52f39efc17d832f4f7b91</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch is a port of 575320d62 ("ARM: 7445/1: mm: update CONTEXTIDR
register to contain PID of current process") from ARM that introduces a
new Kconfig option which, when enabled, causes the kernel to write the
PID of the current task into the CONTEXTIDR register on context switch.
This is useful when analysing hardware trace, since writes to this
register can be configured to emit an event into the trace stream.

<title>arm64: atomics: fix grossly inconsistent asm constraints for exclusives</title>

<id>3a0310eb369aae985d6409d8ff1340146578e5c1</id>
<content type='text'>
Our uses of inline asm constraints for atomic operations are fairly
wild and varied. We basically need to guarantee the following:

  1. Any instructions with barrier implications
     (load-acquire/store-release) have a "memory" clobber

  2. When performing exclusive accesses, the addresing mode is generated
     using the "Q" constraint

  3. Atomic blocks which use the condition flags, have a "cc" clobber

This patch addresses these concerns which, as well as fixing the
semantics of the code, stops GCC complaining about impossible asm
constraints.
