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."

parisc: improve ptrace support for gdb single-step 2013-01-07T22:06:27+00:00 John David Anglin dave.anglin@bell.net 2012-12-28T23:18:01+00:00 34360f080cb5848990576e1465d2d01a3c261762 Various GCC tests use gdb to simulate a multithreaded application. Many of these tests have been failing on parisc linux. GCC does this by using gdb to single-step the application, then gdb is used to call other test specific code. Where this fails is when the application is stepped into the delay slot of a taken branch. This sets the PSW B bit. When the test specific code is executed, this usually clears the PSW B bit. Currently, gdb is not allowed to set the B bit. So, the code falls through what should be a taken branch. The attached patch adds the PSW B bit to the set of bits that gdb is allowed to set. In order to set the B bit, the trace system call must return using an interrupt restore. The patch also modifies this code to use the saved IAOQ values when they are saved by a ptrace syscall or interruption.

* in user thread case the registers had been copied as part of task_struct
already; no need to do it in copy_thread().
* no need to store kernel stack pointer into regs->r21; we know its offset
anyway.
* no need to clobber r3 in sys_fork_wrapper and friends - r28 will do just
as well and *it* will be overwritten anyway.
* no need to mess with storing the return address for child - it should just
use syscall_exit.
* no need to bother with separate stack frame for sys_clone() - just branch
there and be done with that.
* no need to bother with wrapper_exit - we need it only on the child_return,
so let's just do it there.
* use the same ksp for kernel threads and userland ones, while we are at it,
and let ret_from_kernel_execve() go through the normal syscall_exit.  More
