Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler();  called when
sigframe has been successfully built.  All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).

I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

Only 3 out of 63 do not.  Renamed the current variant to __set_current_blocked(),
added set_current_blocked() that will exclude unblockable signals, switched
open-coded instances to it.

Pull second pile of signal handling patches from Al Viro:
 "This one is just task_work_add() series + remaining prereqs for it.

  There probably will be another pull request from that tree this
  cycle - at least for helpers, to get them out of the way for per-arch
  fixes remaining in the tree."

Fix trivial conflict in kernel/irq/manage.c: the merge of Andrew's pile
had brought in commit 97fd75b7b8e0 ("kernel/irq/manage.c: use the
pr_foo() infrastructure to prefix printks") which changed one of the
pr_err() calls that this merge moves around.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  keys: kill task_struct-&gt;replacement_session_keyring
  keys: kill the dummy key_replace_session_keyring()
  keys: change keyctl_session_to_parent() to use task_work_add()
  genirq: reimplement exit_irq_thread() hook via task_work_add()
  task_work_add: generic process-context callbacks
  avr32: missed _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME on one of do_notify_resume callers
  parisc: need to check NOTIFY_RESUME when exiting from syscall
  move key_repace_session_keyring() into tracehook_notify_resume()
  TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is defined on all targets now

  optimizations.  They've been through LKML review and on linux-next for
  a month or so.  There's also one bug-fix that just missed 3.4, which

Fixed up trivial conflict in arch/tile/Kconfig (new added tile Kconfig

If the kernel unexpectedly takes a bad trap, it's convenient to
have it report the type of trap as part of the error.  This gives
customers a bit more context before they call up customer support.

This just adds a few more attributes to the information Linux
can query from the hypervisor for the /sys/hypervisor/board/ directory,
providing part, serial#, revision#, and description for cpu modules
(as opposed to the board itself, or any mezzanine boards).

The hardwall drain code was not properly implemented for tilegx,
just tilepro, so you couldn't reliably restart an application that
made use of the udn.

In addition, the code was only applicable to the udn (user dynamic
network).  On tilegx there is a second user network that is available
(the "idn"), and there is support for having I/O shims deliver
user-level interrupts to applications ("ipi") which functions in a
very similar way to the inter-core permissions used for udn/idn.
So this change also generalizes the code from supporting just the udn
to supports udn/idn/ipi on tilegx.

By default we now use /dev/hardwall/{udn,idn,ipi} with separate
minor numbers for the three devices.
