Add missing break statement in order to prevent the code from falling
through to case SH_BREAKPOINT_WRITE.

<title>signal: Remove the task parameter from force_sig_fault</title>

<content type='text'>
As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current
task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter
from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going
on.

The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a
stopped ptraced task have already been changed to
force_sig_fault_to_task.

The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)
to avoid typos:

force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)]
-&gt;
force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3)

<title>perf/hw_breakpoint: Pass arch breakpoint struct to arch_check_bp_in_kernelspace()</title>

<id>8e983ff9ac02a8fb454ed09c2462bdb3617006a8</id>
<content type='text'>
We can't pass the breakpoint directly on arch_check_bp_in_kernelspace()
anymore because its architecture internal datas (struct arch_hw_breakpoint)
are not yet filled by the time we call the function, and most
implementation need this backend to be up to date. So arrange the
function to take the probing struct instead.

<title>signal/sh: Use force_sig_fault in hw_breakpoint_handler</title>

<id>195bce73bd10bb939950c1591606185404de281d</id>
<content type='text'>
The call chain is:
breakpoint
  notify_die
    hw_breakpoint_exceptions_notify
      hw_breakpoint_handler

So the signal number can only be SIGTRAP.

In hw_breakpoint_handler rc is either NOTIFY_STOP or NOTIF_DONE
both of which notifier_to_errno converts to 0.  So si_errno is 0.

Historically si_addr was left unitialized in struct siginfo which is a
bug.  There appears to be no consensus among the various architectures
which value should be in si_addr.  So since no usable value has
been returned up to this point return NULL in si_addr.

Fixes: 4352fc1b12fa ("sh: Abstracted SH-4A UBC support on hw-breakpoint core.")
Fixes: 34d0b5af50a0 ("sh: Convert ptrace to hw_breakpoint API.")

<title>sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to &lt;linux/sched/signal.h&gt;</title>

We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/signal.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/signal.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source.  One
of them is address calculation via the form &amp;__get_cpu_var(x).  This
calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the
current processor based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&amp;(var)))

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination.  However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less
registers are used when code is generated.

At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.

The patch set includes passes over all arches as well.  Once these
operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in
non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e.  using
a global register that may be set to the per cpu base.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &amp;__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&amp;y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

   Converts to

	memcpy(&amp;x, this_cpu_ptr(&amp;y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	__get_cpu_var(y)++

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_inc(y)
