In commit d0a21265dfb5fa8a David Rientjes unified various archs'
module_alloc implementation (including x86) and removed the graduitous
shortcut for size == 0.

Then, in commit de7d2b567d040e3b, Joe Perches added a warning for
zero-length vmallocs, which can happen without kallsyms on modules
with no init sections (eg. zlib_deflate).

Fix this once and for all; the module code has to handle zero length
anyway, so get it right at the caller and remove the now-gratuitous
checks within the arch-specific module_alloc implementations.

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
 "All architectures are converted to new model.  Quite a bit of that
  stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
  literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.

  A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):

   - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.

     We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
     or kernel_execve():

     kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
     return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
     successful do_execve() before returning.

     kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
     do transition to user mode anymore.

     As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
     arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
     resp.  sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
     architecture-independent.

   - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c

   - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
     copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/-&gt;load_binary/do_coredump.

   - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
     still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
     pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
     kernel/fork.c now."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (113 commits)
  do_coredump(): get rid of pt_regs argument
  print_fatal_signal(): get rid of pt_regs argument
  ptrace_signal(): get rid of unused arguments
  get rid of ptrace_signal_deliver() arguments
  new helper: signal_pt_regs()

  flagday: kill pt_regs argument of do_fork()
  death to idle_regs()

 "Here's the big tty/serial tree set of changes for 3.8-rc1.

  Contained in here is a bunch more reworks of the tty port layer from
  Jiri and bugfixes from Alan, along with a number of other tty and
  serial driver updates by the various driver authors.

  Also, Jiri has been coerced^Wconvinced to be the co-maintainer of the
  TTY layer, which is much appreciated by me.

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for a while.

Fixed up some trivial conflicts in the staging tree, due to the fwserial
driver having come in both ways (but fixed up a bit in the serial tree),
and the ioctl handling in the dgrp driver having been done slightly
differently (staging tree got that one right, and removed both
TIOCGSOFTCAR and TIOCSSOFTCAR).

In commit 9d73fc2d641f ("open*(2) compat fixes (s390, arm64)") I said:
&gt;
&gt; 	The usual rules for open()/openat()/open_by_handle_at() are
&gt; 1) native 32bit - don't force O_LARGEFILE in flags
&gt; 2) native 64bit - force O_LARGEFILE in flags
&gt; 3) compat on 64bit host - as for native 32bit
&gt; 4) native 32bit ABI for 64bit system (mips/n32, x86/x32) - as for native 64bit
&gt;
&gt; There are only two exceptions - s390 compat has open() forcing O_LARGEFILE and
&gt; arm64 compat has open_by_handle_at() doing the same thing.  The same binaries
&gt; on native host (s390/31 and arm resp.) will *not* force O_LARGEFILE, so IMO
&gt; both are emulation bugs.

Three exceptions, actually - parisc open() is another case like that.
Native 32bit won't force O_LARGEFILE, the same binary on parisc64 will.

        if (sz != sizeof *set) panic("put_sigset32()");

In other words, rt_sigprocmask(69, (void *)69, 69) done by 32bit process
will promptly panic the box.

<title>TTY: call tty_port_destroy in the rest of drivers</title>

After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are
not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not
called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted
with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this
assumption.

To be sure, the TTY buffers (and later some stuff) are gone along with
the tty_port, we have to call tty_port_destroy at tear-down places.
This is mostly where the structure containing a tty_port is freed.
This patch does exactly that -- put tty_port_destroy at those places.
