Pull first series of signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
"This is just the first part of the queue (about a half of it);
assorted fixes all over the place in signal handling.
This one ends with all sigsuspend() implementations switched to
generic one (->saved_sigmask-based).
With this, a bunch of assorted old buglets are fixed and most of the
missing bits of NOTIFY_RESUME hookup are in place. Two more fixes sit
in arm and um trees respectively, and there's a couple of broken ones
that need obvious fixes - parisc and avr32 check TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
only on one of two codepaths; fixes for that will happen in the next
series"

Pull fpu state cleanups from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree streamlines further aspects of FPU handling by eliminating
the prepare_to_copy() complication and moving that logic to
arch_dup_task_struct().
It also fixes the FPU dumps in threaded core dumps, removes and old
(and now invalid) assumption plus micro-optimizes the exit path by
avoiding an FPU save for dead tasks."
Fixed up trivial add-add conflict in arch/sh/kernel/process.c that came
in because we now do the FPU handling in arch_dup_task_struct() rather
than the legacy (and now gone) prepare_to_copy().

Historical prepare_to_copy() is mostly a no-op, duplicated for majority of
the architectures and the rest following the x86 model of flushing the extended
register state like fpu there.
Remove it and use the arch_dup_task_struct() instead.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system
Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

Pull PCI changes (including maintainer change) from Jesse Barnes:
"This pull has some good cleanups from Bjorn and Yinghai, as well as
some more code from Yinghai to better handle resource re-allocation
when enabled.
There's also a new initcall_debug feature from Arjan which will print
out quirk timing information to help identify slow quirks for fixing
or refinement (Yinghai sent in a few patches to do just that once the
new debug code landed).
Beyond that, I'm handing off PCI maintainership to Bjorn Helgaas.
He's been a core PCI and Linux contributor for some time now, and has
kindly volunteered to take over. I just don't feel I have the time
for PCI review and work that it deserves lately (I've taken on some
other projects), and haven't been as responsive lately as I'd like, so
I approached Bjorn asking if he'd like to manage things. He's going

have in keeping the tree managed, patches flowing, and keeping things
stable."

As described in commit e6fa16ab9c1e ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block is
pending in the shared queue.
Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0f28f
("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate code
across architectures. In the past some architectures got this code wrong,
so using this helper function should stop that from happening again.

get_signal_to_deliver() already resets the signal handler if SA_ONESHOT
is set in ka->sa.sa_flags, there's no need to do it again in
handle_signal().
Furthermore, because we were modifying ka->sa.sa_handler (which is a
copy of sighand->action[]) instead of sighand->action[] the original
code actually had no effect on signal delivery.

Instead of open coding the sequence from force_sigsegv() just call it.
This also fixes a bug because we were modifying ka->sa.sa_handler (which
is a copy of sighand->action[]), whereas the intention of the code was to
modify sighand->action[] directly.
As the original code was working with a copy it had no effect on signal
delivery.

Convert from pci_scan_bus() to pci_scan_root_bus() and remove root bus
fixups. This fixes the problem of "early" and "header" quirks
seeing incorrect root bus resources.
This arch was unusual because it filled in bus->resource[0..3] in
pcibios_init(), then overwrote them, applied io_space.offset and
checked for unset resources in pcibios_fixup_bus(). I moved all of
that to a new pci_controller_apertures() that we can use before
scanning the root bus.

This patch converts Xtensa's architecture-specific
'pcibios_set_master()' routine to a non-inlined function. This will
allow follow on patches to create a generic 'pcibios_set_master()'
function using the '__weak' attribute which can be used by all
architectures as a default which, if necessary, can then be over-
ridden by architecture-specific code.
Converting 'pci_bios_set_master()' to a non-inlined function will
allow Xtensa's 'pcibios_set_master()' implementation to remain
architecture-specific after the generic version is introduced and
thus, not change current behavior.
No functional change.

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.
The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.
This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.
For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.
This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
failure on mn10300.

3 years transition phase is enough. Cleanup the last users and remove
the cruft.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but
aren't. The list includes:
(*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes
syscalls and some mount syscalls.
(*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above.
(*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls.
