Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups
  which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found
  along the way.

  The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals
  that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from
  complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing
  userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops
  to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all
  architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on
  the stack.

  Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task
  are the big successes for dead code removal this round.

  A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues
  reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I
  simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes
  they were fixing.

  There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I
  dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with
  something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some
  rebasing.

  Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls
  to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of
  struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the
  pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The
  flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is
  removed. Issues where task-&gt;exit_code was examined with
  signal-&gt;group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.

  There are several loosely related changes included because I am
  cleaning up and if I don't include them they will probably get lost.

<content type='text'>
The generic function ptrace_report_syscall does a little more
than syscall_trace on m68k.  The function ptrace_report_syscall
stops early if PT_TRACED is not set, it sets ptrace_message,
and returns the result of fatal_signal_pending.

Setting ptrace_message to a passed in value of 0 is effectively not
setting ptrace_message, making that additional work a noop.

Returning the result of fatal_signal_pending and letting the caller
ignore the result becomes a noop in this change.

When a process is ptraced, the flag PT_PTRACED is always set in
current-&gt;ptrace.  Testing for PT_PTRACED in ptrace_report_syscall is
just an optimization to fail early if the process is not ptraced.
Later on in ptrace_notify, ptrace_stop will test current-&gt;ptrace under
tasklist_lock and skip performing any work if the task is not ptraced.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

Enable the memtest functionality and rearrange some code to prevent it
from clobbering the initrd.

The code to implement CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD was conditional on
!defined(CONFIG_SUN3). For simplicity, remove that test on the basis
that m68k_ramdisk.size == 0 on Sun 3. The SLIME source code at
http://sammy.net/sun3/ftp/pub/m68k/sun3/slime/slime-2.0.tar.gz
indicates that no BI_RAMDISK entry is ever passed to the kernel due
to #ifdef 0 around the relevant code.

from clobbering the initrd.

The code to implement CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD was conditional on
!defined(CONFIG_SUN3). For simplicity, remove that test on the basis
that m68k_ramdisk.size == 0 on Sun 3. The SLIME source code at
http://sammy.net/sun3/ftp/pub/m68k/sun3/slime/slime-2.0.tar.gz
indicates that no BI_RAMDISK entry is ever passed to the kernel due
to #ifdef 0 around the relevant code.

Pull asm-generic syscall table update from Arnd Bergmann:
 "André Almeida sends an update for the newly added futex_waitv syscall
  that was initially only added to a few architectures.

  Some additional ones have since made it through architecture
  maintainer trees, this finishes the remaining ones"

<title>signal: Replace force_fatal_sig with force_exit_sig when in doubt</title>

<content type='text'>
Recently to prevent issues with SECCOMP_RET_KILL and similar signals
being changed before they are delivered SA_IMMUTABLE was added.

Unfortunately this broke debuggers[1][2] which reasonably expect
to be able to trap synchronous SIGTRAP and SIGSEGV even when
the target process is not configured to handle those signals.

Add force_exit_sig and use it instead of force_fatal_sig where
historically the code has directly called do_exit.  This has the
implementation benefits of going through the signal exit path
(including generating core dumps) without the danger of allowing
userspace to ignore or change these signals.

This avoids userspace regressions as older kernels exited with do_exit
which debuggers also can not intercept.

In the future is should be possible to improve the quality of
implementation of the kernel by changing some of these force_exit_sig
calls to force_fatal_sig.  That can be done where it matters on
a case-by-case basis with careful analysis.
