Pull module signing support from Rusty Russell:
 "module signing is the highlight, but it's an all-over David Howells frenzy..."

Pull ARM update from Russell King:
 "This is the final round of stuff for ARM, left until the end of the
  merge window to reduce the number of conflicts.  This set contains the
  ARM part of David Howells UAPI changes, and a fix to the ordering of
  'select' statements in ARM Kconfig files (see the appropriate commit
  for why this happened - thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the
  problem.)

  I've left this as long as I dare for this window to avoid conflicts,
  and I regenerated the config patch yesterday, posting it to our
  mailing list for review and testing.  I have several acks which
  include successful test reports for it.

  However, today I notice we've got new conflicts with previously unseen
  code...  though that conflict should be trivial (it's my changes vs a
  one liner.)"

* 'late-for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm:
  ARM: config: make sure that platforms are ordered by option string
  ARM: config: sort select statements alphanumerically
  UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate arch/arm/include/asm

Fix up fairly conflict in arch/arm/Kconfig (the select re-organization
vs recent addition of GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE)

Pull third pile of kernel_execve() patches from Al Viro:
 "The last bits of infrastructure for kernel_thread() et.al., with
  alpha/arm/x86 use of those.  Plus sanitizing the asm glue and
  do_notify_resume() on alpha, fixing the "disabled irq while running
  task_work stuff" breakage there.

  At that point the rest of kernel_thread/kernel_execve/sys_execve work
  can be done independently for different architectures.  The only
  pending bits that do depend on having all architectures converted are
  restrictred to fs/* and kernel/* - that'll obviously have to wait for
  the next cycle.

  I thought we'd have to wait for all of them done before we start
  eliminating the longjump-style insanity in kernel_execve(), but it
  turned out there's a very simple way to do that without flagday-style
  changes."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  alpha: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics
  arm: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics
  x86, um: convert to saner kernel_execve() semantics
  infrastructure for saner ret_from_kernel_thread semantics
  make sure that kernel_thread() callbacks call do_exit() themselves
  make sure that we always have a return path from kernel_execve()
  ppc: eeh_event should just use kthread_run()
  don't bother with kernel_thread/kernel_execve for launching linuxrc
  alpha: get rid of switch_stack argument of do_work_pending()
  alpha: don't bother passing switch_stack separately from regs
  alpha: take SIGPENDING/NOTIFY_RESUME loop into signal.c

  arm: get rid of execve wrapper, switch to generic execve() implementation
  arm: optimized current_pt_regs()
  arm: introduce ret_from_kernel_execve(), switch to generic kernel_execve()
  arm: split ret_from_fork, simplify kernel_thread() [based on patch by rmk]
  generic sys_execve()

Michael Olbrich reported that his test program fails when built with
-O2 -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon, and a kernel which supports v6 and v7
CPUs:

volatile int x = 2;
volatile int64_t y = 2;

int main() {
	volatile int a = 0;
	volatile int64_t b = 0;
	while (1) {
		a = (a + x) % (1 &lt;&lt; 30);
		b = (b + y) % (1 &lt;&lt; 30);
		assert(a == b);
	}
}

and two instances are run.  When built for just v7 CPUs, this program
works fine.  It uses the "vadd.i64 d19, d18, d16" VFP instruction.

It appears that we do not save the high-16 double VFP registers across
context switches when the kernel is built for v6 CPUs.  Fix that.
