Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
"sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um,
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure.
Note that there are several conflicts between "unify
SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline;
resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and
SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."
Fixed up conflicts as per Al.
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
alpha: switch to generic sigaltstack
new helpers: __save_altstack/__compat_save_altstack, switch x86 and um to those

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu
Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
"A few new features this merge-window. The most important one is
probably, that dma-debug now warns if a dma-handle is not checked with
dma_mapping_error by the device driver. This requires minor changes
to some architectures which make use of dma-debug. Most of these
changes have the respective Acks by the Arch-Maintainers.
Besides that there are updates to the AMD IOMMU driver for refactor
the IOMMU-Groups support and to make sure it does not trigger a
hardware erratum.
The OMAP changes (for which I pulled in a branch from Tony Lindgren's
tree) have a conflict in linux-next with the arm-soc tree. The
conflict is in the file arch/arm/mach-omap2/clock44xx_data.c which is
deleted in the arm-soc tree. It is safe to delete the file too so
solve the conflict. Similar changes are done in the arm-soc tree in
the common clock framework migration. A missing hunk from the patch
in the IOMMU tree will be submitted as a seperate patch when the
merge-window is closed."

All architectures have
CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD
CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_EXECVE
None of them have __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and there are only two callers
of kernel_execve() (which is a trivial wrapper for do_execve() now) left.
Kill the conditionals and make both callers use do_execve().

Intc_enable_or_unmask() is called at the last stage of handle_level_irq().
This function enables the irq first (Write INTC.SIE) and clear ISR next (Write INTC.IAR).
This would create problems that processor will get into a new interrupt as soon as SIE
is written because the previous level interrupt has been captured by INTC.
If the description bring some puzzles, here is the details of how interrupt is handled
for MicroBlaze after Interrupt signal is detected:
1. disable INTC (INTC.CIE = 1)
2. Acknowledge INTC (INTC.IAR = 1)
3. gets into interrupt source's handler, for example, timer's handler
4. Timer is interrupt handler acknowledge Timer Interrupt Status (Timer.TCSR0[23] = 1), and return
5. Enable INTC (INTC.SIE = 1)
6. Acknowledge INTC (INTC.IAR = 1)
INTC continue to capture source inputs even if INTC is disabled (INTC.IER == 1).
So between the gap of step 2 and step 3, the level interrupt from source makes INTC captures
a new interrupt and thus the INTC.ISR = 1 during step 3, 4, and 5.
When INTC is enabled in step 5, INTC's interrupt output will go high immediately.
In summary, the driver should issue step 6 before step 5.

__pu_val must be volatile to ensure that the value is not lost.
It was causing the problem with timerfd syscall
where using inline asm at the end of function call doesn't
save u64 bit value to the stack.
In comparison both cases you can find out this fragment
where you can see the first part which is saved u64
value to stack and then using it in __put_user_asm_8 macro.
Origin broken implementation misses the first two swi instructions.
swi r22, r1, 28 /* missing without volatile */
swi r23, r1, 32
...
addik r4, r1, 28
lwi r3, r4, 0
swi r3, r25, 0
lwi r3, r4, 4
swi r3, r25, 4
addk r3, r0, r0
NOTE: Moving __put_val initialization after declaration
has not impact on this bug. It is just coding style issue.

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."

buckets for all the entries in all the hists. This new method is
now used in the default 'diff' output, making the sum of the
'baseline' column be 100%, eliminating blind spots.
* libtraceevent fixes for compiler warnings trying to make perf it
build on some distros, like fedora 14, 32-bit, some of the warnings
really pointed to real bugs.

various subsystem maintainers, as they wanted them to go through here.
If this is too much of a pain, I can pull all of them out of this tree
and just send you one with the other fixes/updates and then, after
3.8-rc1 is out, do the rest of the removals to ensure we catch them
all, it's up to you. The merges should all be trivial, and Stephen

The current rules have the .dtb files build in a different directory
from the .dts files. This patch changes microblaze to use the generic dtb
rule which builds .dtb files in the same directory as the source .dts.
This requires moving parts of arch/microblaze/boot/Makefile into newly
created arch/microblaze/boot/dts/Makefile, and updating
arch/microblaze/Makefile to call the new Makefile. linked_dtb.S is also
moved into boot/dts/ since it's used by rules that were moved.

In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace,
add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded
in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on
exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously
interlaced.
Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large
timestamp values.
v2:
Move arch-specific bits out of generic code.
v3:
Rename "x86-tsc", cleanups
v7:
Generic arch bits in Kbuild.

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

.fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In
filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second
try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.
Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip
ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.
I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other
archs is obvious, but who knows :)

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"This has three changes for asm-generic that did not really fit into
any other branch as normal asm-generic changes do. One is a fix for a
build warning, the other two are more interesting:
* A patch from Mark Brown to allow using the common clock
infrastructure on all architectures, so we can use the clock API in
architecture independent device drivers.
* The UAPI split patches from David Howells for the asm-generic
files. There are other architecture specific series that are going
through the arch maintainer tree and that depend on this one.
There may be a few small merge conflicts between Mark's patch and the
following arch header file split patches. In each case the solution
will be to keep the new "generic-y += clkdev.h" line, even if it ends
up being the only line in the Kbuild file."

Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for
things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific
architectures.
We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the
personality flags across exec().
This patch tries to fix all architectures that forcefully overwrite
personality flags during exec() (ppc32 and s390 have been fixed recently
by commits f9783ec862ea ("[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on
exec") and 59e4c3a2fe9c ("powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on
exec") in a similar way already).

Patches from David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>:
This is to complete part of the UAPI disintegration for which the
preparatory patches were pulled recently.
Note that there are some fixup patches which are at the base of the
branch aimed at you, plus all arches get the asm-generic branch merged in too.
* 'disintegrate-asm-generic' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers:
UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate include/asm-generic
UAPI: Fix conditional header installation handling (notably kvm_para.h on m68k)
c6x: remove c6x signal.h
UAPI: Split compound conditionals containing __KERNEL__ in Arm64
UAPI: Fix the guards on various asm/unistd.h files

This reverts commit 8b28626a6b1522b39f75d0bf80d5dec23c931f5a.
Offset -8 is wrong because when it is applied then one instruction
before brki r14, 8 is called again when we return.
Offset -4 is correct and brki instruction is called again.
This change came from ancient MMU kernel.

When u-boot passes control over to Linux it places the Linux command
line between to the end of __init_end. When space between
__init_end and __bss_start is not COMMAND_LINE_SIZE then
the part of cmdline can be lost.
In extreme case if __init_end == __bss_start u-boot can't pass
any cmdline to Linux kernel.
This patch fix this issue by copying cmd line directly to
cmd_line char array which is placed in data section.
