Pull sparc changes from David S. Miller:
 "This has the generic strncpy_from_user() implementation architectures
  can now use, which we've been developing on linux-arch over the past
  few days.

  For good measure I ran both a 32-bit and a 64-bit glibc testsuite run,
  and the latter of which pointed out an adjustment I needed to make to
  sparc's user_addr_max() definition.  Linus, you were right, STACK_TOP
  was not the right thing to use, even on sparc itself :-)

  From Sam Ravnborg, we have a conversion of sparc32 over to the common
  alloc_thread_info_node(), since the aspect which originally blocked
  our doing so (sun4c) has been removed."

Fix up trivial arch/sparc/Kconfig and lib/Makefile conflicts.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc:
  sparc: Fix user_addr_max() definition.
  lib: Sparc's strncpy_from_user is generic enough, move under lib/
  kernel: Move REPEAT_BYTE definition into linux/kernel.h
  sparc: Increase portability of strncpy_from_user() implementation.
  sparc: Optimize strncpy_from_user() zero byte search.
  sparc: Add full proper error handling to strncpy_from_user().
  sparc32: use the common implementation of alloc_thread_info_node()

We need to use TASK_SIZE because for 64-bit tasks the value
of STACK_TOP actually sits in the middle of the address space
so we'll get false-negatives.

Adjust the TASK_SIZE definition on sparc64 to accomodate this,
in the context in which user_addr_max() is used we have the
test_thread_flag() definition available but not the one for
test_tsk_thread_flag().

<title>fork: move the real prepare_to_copy() users to arch_dup_task_struct()</title>

Historical prepare_to_copy() is mostly a no-op, duplicated for majority of
the architectures and the rest following the x86 model of flushing the extended
register state like fpu there.

Remove it and use the arch_dup_task_struct() instead.

<title>sparc64: Kill annoying warning when building compat_binfmt_elf.o</title>

GCC warns because some tests against 32-bit values never evaluate to
true due to how TASK_SIZE is defined.

I always wanted to mimick powerpc's definition of TASK_SIZE, which
is simply TASK_SIZE_OF(current) and that also fixes the warning.

<title>sparc, sparc64: use arch/sparc/include</title>

The majority of this patch was created by the following script:

***
ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm
mkdir -p $ASM
git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM
git rm include/asm-sparc64/*
git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/*
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/*
***

The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc
for header files when sparc64 is being build.
And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from
sparc64 code.
