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/->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() unify default ptrace_signal_deliver flagday: kill pt_regs argument of do_fork() death to idle_regs() don't pass regs to copy_process() flagday: don't pass regs to copy_thread() bfin: switch to generic vfork, get rid of pointless wrappers xtensa: switch to generic clone() openrisc: switch to use of generic fork and clone unicore32: switch to generic clone(2) score: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone c6x: sanitize copy_thread(), get rid of clone(2) wrapper, switch to generic clone() take sys_fork/sys_vfork/sys_clone prototypes to linux/syscalls.h mn10300: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone h8300: switch to generic fork/vfork/clone tile: switch to generic clone() ...

c6x: fix misleading comment

2012-11-26T23:14:00Z

A comment in entry.S incorrectly stated that interrupt vectors called __do_IRQ() and that int6 vector was used for syscalls. Both statements are incorrect for the current kernel, so this patch cleans up the wording to reflect current reality. Signed-off-by: Mark Salter

c6x: run do_notify_resume with interrupts enabled

2012-11-26T23:06:13Z

C6x was mistakenly running do_notify_resume with interrupts disabled. This would triggerlead to a warning in local_bh_enable() because interrupts were disabled: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at /es/linux/linux-next/kernel/softirq.c:160 local_bh_enable+0x5c/0x10c() Modules linked in: e02f384d e002cda8 e02f3469 e02f384d 000000a0 e00363fc e01cce58 e5005c00 e0327986 00000000 e63c0aec 00000164 e00363fc 00000000 fffffffe e5005c00 e61fde00 e0268184 00000134 e01c91dc 00000001 fffffffe 00000000 10000100 e01c80e4 e5005c00 00000000 00000000 00000000 e63c0aec e526ce00 10000100 e628f920 e63c0a88 e6010410 e6449750 e5005c20 00000000 00000000 e63c0a80 e5005c20 e01c8590 e63c0a80 e5005c20 e63c0aec e00a0554 e009c758 e639e860 irq_spurious_proc_fops+0x6ad/0x3438 warn_slowpath_common+0x8c/0xb8 irq_spurious_proc_fops+0x2c9/0x3438 irq_spurious_proc_fops+0x6ad/0x3438 local_bh_enable+0x5c/0x10c sk_alloc+0x34/0xa4 local_bh_enable+0x5c/0x10c unix_release_sock+0x5c/0x2a0 sys_connect+0x94/0xd4 sock_release+0x38/0x104 sock_close+0x3c/0x54 __fput+0x154/0x2ec filp_close+0xc0/0xe4 task_work_run+0xdc/0x12c sys_close+0x2c/0x74 resume_userspace+0x0/0x30 ---[ end trace a70cbd610ae1f6b4 ]--- This patch enables interrupts before calling do_notify_resume().

sanitize tsk_is_polling()

2012-10-01T13:58:13Z

Make default just return 0. The current default (checking TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it; ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all. ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling()) and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all). Killed the latter... Signed-off-by: Al Viro
