69be8f1896 [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes.
It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.

The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).

The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:

1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).

2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.

The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.

Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.

* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

Replace schedule_timeout() with ssleep() to guarantee the task delays as
expected.

813e678364 [PATCH] xtensa: remove old syscalls
This patch fixes some minor bugs introduced by the previous patch (remove
old syscalls).  Both patches remove the obsolete syscalls.  The changes in
this patch were suggested by Arnd Bergmann.  The vmlinux.lds.S changes are
required for the latest gcc/binutils.

58c853c6ea [PATCH] remove asm-xtensa/ipc.h
Now that sys_ipc has been removed from xtensa, asm/ipc.h is no longer
needed for that architecture.  Not tested, but obviously correct.  This
file is included only from arch code and this patch also removes the only
inclusion.

8759145114 [PATCH] xtensa: remove old syscalls
xtensa is now in -rc1, with the obsolete syscalls still in there, so I
guess this about the last chance to correct the ABI.  Applying the patch
obviously breaks all sorts of user space binaries and probably also
requires the appropriate changes to be made to libc.

On the other hand, if a decision is made to keep the broken interface, it
should at least be a conscious one instead of an oversight.
