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.

Pull second pile of signal handling patches from Al Viro:
 "This one is just task_work_add() series + remaining prereqs for it.

  There probably will be another pull request from that tree this
  cycle - at least for helpers, to get them out of the way for per-arch
  fixes remaining in the tree."

Fix trivial conflict in kernel/irq/manage.c: the merge of Andrew's pile
had brought in commit 97fd75b7b8e0 ("kernel/irq/manage.c: use the
pr_foo() infrastructure to prefix printks") which changed one of the
pr_err() calls that this merge moves around.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  keys: kill task_struct-&gt;replacement_session_keyring
  keys: kill the dummy key_replace_session_keyring()
  keys: change keyctl_session_to_parent() to use task_work_add()
  genirq: reimplement exit_irq_thread() hook via task_work_add()
  task_work_add: generic process-context callbacks
  avr32: missed _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME on one of do_notify_resume callers
  parisc: need to check NOTIFY_RESUME when exiting from syscall
  move key_repace_session_keyring() into tracehook_notify_resume()
  TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is defined on all targets now

commit 5e185581d7c46ddd33cd9c01106d1fc86efb9376
Author: James Bottomley &lt;JBottomley@Parallels.com&gt;

    [PARISC] fix PA1.1 oops on boot

Didn't quite fix the crash on boot.  It moved it from PA1.1 processors to
PA2.0 narrow kernels.  The final fix is to make sure the [id]tlb_miss_20 paths
also work.  Even on narrow systems, these paths require using the wide
instructions becuase the tlb insertion format is wide.  Fix this by
conditioning the dep[wd],z on whether we're being called from _11 or _20[w]
paths.

In certain configurations, the resulting kernel becomes too large to boot
because the linker places the long branch stubs for the merged .text section
at the very start of the image.  As a result, the initial transfer of control
jumps to an unexpected location.  Fix this by placing the head text in a
separate section so the stubs for .text are not at the start of the image.
