The Xtensa architecture provides a global register called THREADPTR
for the purpose of Thread Local Storage (TLS) support. This allows us
to use a fairly simple implementation, keeping the thread pointer in
the regset and simply saving and restoring it upon entering/exiting
the from user space.

str[n]cmp functions return negative value if the first string is less
than the second, positive value if the first string is greater than the
second and zero if they are equal. This is important when these
functions are used for sorting/binary search.
With incorrect strcmp return value bsearch was always failing in the
find_symbol_in_section making it impossible to load any module.

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
"This is the first pile; another one will come a bit later and will
contain SYSCALL_DEFINE-related patches.
- a bunch of signal-related syscalls (both native and compat)
unified.
- a bunch of compat syscalls switched to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
(fixing several potential problems with missing argument
validation, while we are at it)
- a lot of now-pointless wrappers killed
- a couple of architectures (cris and hexagon) forgot to save
altstack settings into sigframe, even though they used the
(uninitialized) values in sigreturn; fixed.
- microblaze fixes for delivery of multiple signals arriving at once
- saner set of helpers for signal delivery introduced, several
architectures switched to using those."

Switch from __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGACTION to opposite
(!CONFIG_ODD_RT_SIGACTION); the only two architectures that
need it are alpha and sparc. The reason for use of CONFIG_...
instead of __ARCH_... is that it's needed only kernel-side
and doing it that way avoids a mess with include order on many
architectures.

Device trees allow specification of hardware topology and device
parameters at runtime instead of hard-coding them in platform setup
code. This allows running single binary kernel on a range of compatible
boards.
New boot parameters tag BP_TAG_FDT is allocated and a pointer to flat
device tree is passed in it.
Note that current interrupt mapping scheme uses single cell for
interrupt identification. That means that IRQ numbers used in DTS must
be CPU internal IRQ numbers, not external. It is possible to extend
interrupt identification to two cells, and use second cell to tell
external IRQ numbers form internal. That would allow to use single DTS
on multiple boards with different mapping of external IRQ numbers.

Add a brief sanity test of S32C1I functionality. This instruction
is needed by the kernel and userland as part of the base ABI
(including GCC atomic builtins, certain threading packages, future
atomic support in the C++ standard, etc). However, correct operation
of this instruction requires some cooperation by hardware external to
the processor (such as bus bridge, bus fabric, or memory controller).
Minimally exercising this mechanism and reporting explicit status
early in the boot process is helpful to chip vendors using the Linux
kernel as a benchmark of correctness of hardware.
As it turns out, S32C1I is not exercised by the kernel and by uClibc
based userland as of early June 2008. This is expected to change
soon as both incorporate more recent open source developments.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal
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."

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.

Xtensa implements a method that allows to generate a arbitrary output
for each system call by defining the __SYSCALL(number, function, num_args).
This usually requires to include uapi/unistd.h twice. Instead of removing

only if __SYSCALL is defined. Note that __SYSCALL gets always undefined at

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."
* tag 'asm-generic' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic:
UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate include/asm-generic
asm-generic: Add default clkdev.h
asm-generic: xor: mark static functions as __maybe_unused

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).
