54d46ea993 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal
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
  generic compat_sys_sigaltstack()
  introduce generic sys_sigaltstack(), switch x86 and um to it
  new helper: compat_user_stack_pointer()
  new helper: restore_altstack()
  unify SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions
  new helper: current_user_stack_pointer()
  missing user_stack_pointer() instances
  Bury the conditionals from kernel_thread/kernel_execve series
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE: infrastructure

1ca97bb541 new helper: current_user_stack_pointer()
Cross-architecture equivalent of rdusp(); default is
user_stack_pointer(current_pt_regs()) - that works for almost all
platforms that have usp saved in pt_regs.  The only exception from
that is ia64 - we want memory stack, not the backing store for
register one.

22062a9630 new helper: signal_pt_regs()
Always equal to task_pt_regs(current); defined only when we are in
signal delivery.  It may be different from current_pt_regs() - e.g.
architectures like m68k may have pt_regs location on exception
different from that on a syscall and signals (just as ptrace handling)
may happen on exceptions as well as on syscalls.

When they are equal, it's often better to have signal_pt_regs
defined (in asm/ptrace.h) as current_pt_regs - that tends to be
optimized better than default would be.  However, optimisation is
the only reason why we might want an arch-specific definition;
if current_pt_regs() and task_pt_regs(current) have different
values, the latter one is right.

857fb252a1 h8300: use generic ptrace_resume code
Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.  This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
considered a bug fix.

Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
it previously wasn't which is consistent with all architectures using the
modern ptrace code.

758db3f211 [h8300] move include/asm-h8300 to arch/h8300/include/asm
Done as a script (well, a single "git mv" actually) on request from
Yoshinori Sato as a way to avoid a huge diff.
