The old _do_fork() helper is removed in favor of the new kernel_clone() helper.
The latter adheres to naming conventions for kernel internal syscall helpers.

<title>arch: rename copy_thread_tls() back to copy_thread()</title>

Now that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS has been removed, rename copy_thread_tls()
back simply copy_thread(). It's a simpler name, and doesn't imply that only
tls is copied here. This finishes an outstanding chunk of internal process
creation work since we've added clone3().

<title>sparc: share process creation helpers between sparc and sparc64</title>

<content type='text'>
As promised in the previous patch, this moves the process creation
helpers into a common process.c file that is shared between sparc and
sparc64. It allows us to get rid of quite a bit custom assembler and the
to remove the separe 32bit specific sparc_do_fork() call.

One thing to note, is that when clone() was called with a separate stack
for the child the assembler would align it. But copy_thread() has always
been doing that too so that line wasn't needed and can thus simply be
removed.

While doing some easy cleanups on the sparc code I noticed that the
CONFIG_SUN4 code seems to be worse than the rest - there were some
"I don't know how it should work, but the current code definitely cannot
work." places.

And while I have seen people running Linux on machines like a
SPARCstation 5 a few years ago I don't recall having seen sun4
machines, even less ones running Linux.

We clobber %i1 as well as %i0 for these system calls,
because they give two return values.

Therefore, on error, we have to restore %i1 properly
or else the restart explodes since it uses the wrong
arguments.

This fixes glibc's nptl/tst-eintr1.c testcase.

<title>sparc: Remove old style signal frame support.</title>

<content type='text'>
Back around the same time we were bootstrapping the first 32-bit sparc
Linux kernel with a SunOS userland, we made the signal frame match
that of SunOS.

By the time we even started putting together a native Linux userland
for 32-bit Sparc we realized this layout wasn't sufficient for Linux's
needs.

Therefore we changed the layout, yet kept support for the old style
signal frame layout in there.  The detection mechanism is that we had
sys_sigaction() start passing in a negative signal number to indicate
"new style signal frames please".

Anyways, no binaries exist in the world that use the old stuff.  In
fact, I bet Jakub Jelinek and myself are the only two people who ever
had such binaries to be honest.

So let's get rid of this stuff.

I added an assertion using WARN_ON_ONCE() that makes sure 32-bit
applications are passing in that negative signal number still.
