Pull misc compat stuff updates from Al Viro:
 "This part is basically untangling various compat stuff. Compat
  syscalls moved to their native counterparts, getting rid of quite a
  bit of double-copying and/or set_fs() uses. A lot of field-by-field
  copyin/copyout killed off.

   - kernel/compat.c is much closer to containing just the
     copyin/copyout of compat structs. Not all compat syscalls are gone
     from it yet, but it's getting there.

   - ipc/compat_mq.c killed off completely.

   - block/compat_ioctl.c cleaned up; floppy compat ioctls moved to
     drivers/block/floppy.c where they belong. Yes, there are several
     drivers that implement some of the same ioctls. Some are m68k and
     one is 32bit-only pmac. drivers/block/floppy.c is the only one in
     that bunch that can be built on biarch"

signal: Move copy_siginfo_to_user to

2017-06-04T13:11:46+00:00

Having it in asm-generic/siginfo.h doesn't make any sense as it is in no way
architecture specific.  Move it to signal.h instead where several related
functions already reside.

ia64: Remove HAVE_ARCH_COPY_SIGINFO

2017-06-04T13:11:46+00:00

Since ia64 defines __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE it can just use the generic
copy_siginfo implementation, which is identical to the architecture
specific one.

With that support for HAVE_ARCH_COPY_SIGINFO can go away entirely.

signals: avoid unnecessary taking of sighand->siglock

2016-12-15T00:04:07+00:00

When running certain database workload on a high-end system with many
CPUs, it was found that spinlock contention in the sigprocmask syscalls
became a significant portion of the overall CPU cycles as shown below.

               |          |
               |          |--50.63%-- __swapcontext

               |          |          ktskRun

Looking further into the swapcontext function in glibc, it was found that
the function always call sigprocmask() without checking if there are
changes in the signal mask.

A check was added to the __set_current_blocked() function to avoid taking
the sighand->siglock spinlock if there is no change in the signal mask.
This will prevent unneeded spinlock contention when many threads are
trying to call sigprocmask().

With this patch applied, the spinlock contention in sigprocmask() was
gone.

signal: move the "sig < SIGRTMIN" check into siginmask(sig)

2016-05-24T00:04:14+00:00

All the users of siginmask() must ensure that sig < SIGRTMIN.  sig_fatal()
doesn't and this is wrong:

	UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in kernel/signal.c:911:6
	shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type 'long unsigned int'

the patch doesn't add the neccesary check to sig_fatal(), it moves the
check into siginmask() and updates other callers.
