<title>m68k: switch to generic sys_execve()/kernel_execve()</title>

The tricky part here is that task_pt_regs() on m68k works *only* for
process inside do_signal().  However, we need something much simpler -
pt_regs of a process inside do_signal() may be at different offsets
from the stack bottom, depending on the way we'd entered the kernel,
but for a task inside sys_execve() it *is* at constant offset.
Moreover, for a kernel thread about to become a userland process the
same location is also fine - setting sp to that will leave the kernel
stack pointer at the very bottom of the kernel stack when we finally
switch to userland.

<title>m68k: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop</title>

<id>5b57ba37e82a15f345a6a2eb8c01a2b2d94c5eeb</id>
<content type='text'>
In the old times, the whole idle task was considered
as an RCU quiescent state. But as RCU became more and
more successful overtime, some RCU read side critical
section have been added even in the code of some
architectures idle tasks, for tracing for example.

So nowadays, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() must
be called by the architecture to tell RCU about the part
in the idle loop that doesn't make use of rcu read side
critical sections, typically the part that puts the CPU
in low power mode.

This is necessary for RCU to find the quiescent states in
idle in order to complete grace periods.

Add this missing pair of calls in the m68k's idle loop.

Pull m68knommu arch updates from Greg Ungerer:
 "Includes a cleanup of the non-MMU linker script (it now almost
  exclusively uses the well defined linker script support macros and
  definitions).  Some more merging of MMU and non-MMU common files
  (specifically the arch process.c, ptrace and time.c).  And a big
  cleanup of the massively duplicated ColdFire device definition code.

  Overall we remove about 2000 lines of code, and end up with a single
  set of platform device definitions for the serial ports, ethernet
  ports and QSPI ports common in most ColdFire SoCs.

  I expect you will get a merge conflict on arch/m68k/kernel/process.c,
  in cpu_idle().  It should be relatively strait forward to fixup."

And cpu_idle() conflict resolution was indeed trivial (merging the
nommu/mmu versions of process.c trivially conflicting with the
conversion to use the schedule_preempt_disabled() helper function)

The MMU and non-MMU varients of the m68k arch process.c code are pretty
much the same. Only a few minor details differ between the two. The
majority of the difference is to deal with having or wanting hardware FPU
support. So merge them back into a single process.c file.

<id>66d857b08b8c3ed5c72c361f863cce77d2a978d7</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a lot of common code that could be shared between the m68k
and m68knommu arch branches. It makes sense to merge the two branches
into a single directory structure so that we can more easily share
that common code.

This is a brute force merge, based on a script from Stephen King
&lt;sfking@fdwdc.com&gt;, which was originally written by Arnd Bergmann
&lt;arnd@arndb.de&gt;.

&gt; The script was inspired by the script Sam Ravnborg used to merge the
&gt; includes from m68knommu. For those files common to both arches but
&gt; differing in content, the m68k version of the file is renamed to
&gt; &lt;file&gt;_mm.&lt;ext&gt; and the m68knommu version of the file is moved into the
&gt; corresponding m68k directory and renamed &lt;file&gt;_no.&lt;ext&gt; and a small
&gt; wrapper file &lt;file&gt;.&lt;ext&gt; is used to select between the two version. Files
&gt; that are common to both but don't differ are removed from the m68knommu
&gt; tree and files and directories that are unique to the m68knommu tree are
&gt; moved to the m68k tree. Finally, the arch/m68knommu tree is removed.
&gt;
&gt; To select between the the versions of the files, the wrapper uses
&gt;
&gt; #ifdef CONFIG_MMU
&gt; #include &lt;file&gt;_mm.&lt;ext&gt;
&gt; #else
&gt; #include &lt;file&gt;_no.&lt;ext&gt;
&gt; #endif

On top of this file merge I have done a simplistic merge of m68k and
m68knommu Kconfig, which primarily attempts to keep existing options and
menus in place. Other than a handful of options being moved it produces
identical .config outputs on m68k and m68knommu targets I tested it on.

With this in place there is now quite a bit of scope for merge cleanups
in future patches.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:

arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().

do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.

Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.
