28e6103665 sparc: Fix debugger syscall restart interactions.
So, forever, we've had this ptrace_signal_deliver implementation
which tries to handle all of the nasties that can occur when the
debugger looks at a process about to take a signal.  It's meant
to address all of these issues inside of the kernel so that the
debugger need not be mindful of such things.

Problem is, this doesn't work.

The idea was that we should do the syscall restart business first, so
that the debugger captures that state.  Otherwise, if the debugger for
example saves the child's state, makes the child execute something
else, then restores the saved state, we won't handle the syscall
restart properly because we lose the "we're in a syscall" state.

The code here worked for most cases, but if the debugger actually
passes the signal through to the child unaltered, it's possible that
we would do a syscall restart when we shouldn't have.

In particular this breaks the case of debugging a process under a gdb
which is being debugged by yet another gdb.  gdb uses sigsuspend
to wait for SIGCHLD of the inferior, but if gdb itself is being
debugged by a top-level gdb we get a ptrace_stop().  The top-level gdb
does a PTRACE_CONT with SIGCHLD to let the inferior gdb see the
signal.  But ptrace_signal_deliver() assumed the debugger would cancel
out the signal and therefore did a syscall restart, because the return
error was ERESTARTNOHAND.

Fix this by simply making ptrace_signal_deliver() a nop, and providing
a way for the debugger to control system call restarting properly:

1) Report a "in syscall" software bit in regs->{tstate,psr}.
   It is set early on in trap entry to a system call and is fully
   visible to the debugger via ptrace() and regsets.

2) Test this bit right before doing a syscall restart.  We have
   to do a final recheck right after get_signal_to_deliver() in
   case the debugger cleared the bit during ptrace_stop().

3) Clear the bit in trap return so we don't accidently try to set
   that bit in the real register.

As a result we also get a ptrace_{is,clear}_syscall() for sparc32 just
like sparc64 has.

M68K has this same exact bug, and is now the only other user of the
ptrace_signal_deliver hook.  It needs to be fixed in the same exact
way as sparc.

986bef854f sparc: Fix ptrace() detach.
Forever we had a PTRACE_SUNOS_DETACH which was unconditionally
recognized, regardless of the personality of the process.

Unfortunately, this value is what ended up in the GLIBC sys/ptrace.h
header file on sparc as PTRACE_DETACH and PT_DETACH.

So continue to recognize this old value.  Luckily, it doesn't conflict
with anything we actually care about.

dc5dc7e6d7 sparc: Fix SA_ONSTACK signal handling.
We need to be more liberal about the alignment of the buffer given to
us by sigaltstack().  The user should not need to be mindful of all of
the alignment constraints we have for the stack frame.

This mirrors how we handle this situation in clone() as well.

Also, we align the stack even in non-SA_ONSTACK cases so that signals
due to bad stack alignment can be delivered properly.  This makes such
errors easier to debug and recover from.

Finally, add the sanity check x86 has to make sure we won't overflow
the signal stack.

This fixes glibc testcases nptl/tst-cancel20.c and
nptl/tst-cancelx20.c

5526b7e451 sparc: Remove old style signal frame support.
Back around the same time we were bootstrapping the first 32-bit sparc
Linux kernel with a SunOS userland, we made the signal frame match
that of SunOS.

By the time we even started putting together a native Linux userland
for 32-bit Sparc we realized this layout wasn't sufficient for Linux's
needs.

Therefore we changed the layout, yet kept support for the old style
signal frame layout in there.  The detection mechanism is that we had
sys_sigaction() start passing in a negative signal number to indicate
"new style signal frames please".

Anyways, no binaries exist in the world that use the old stuff.  In
fact, I bet Jakub Jelinek and myself are the only two people who ever
had such binaries to be honest.

So let's get rid of this stuff.

I added an assertion using WARN_ON_ONCE() that makes sure 32-bit
applications are passing in that negative signal number still.

d786a4a659 [SPARC]: Fix several regset and ptrace bugs.
1) ptrace should pass 'current' to task_user_regset_view()

2) When fetching general registers using a 64-bit view, and
   the target is 32-bit, we have to convert.

3) Skip the whole register window get/set code block if
   the user isn't asking to access anything in there.

   Otherwise we have problems if the user doesn't have
   an address space setup.  Fetching ptrace register is
   still valid at such a time, and ptrace does not try
   to access the register window area of the regset.

aa02cd2d9b xtime_lock vs update_process_times
Commit d3d74453c3 ("hrtimer: fixup the
HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ fallback") broke several archs, and since
only Russell bothered to merge the fix, and Greg to ACK his arch, I'm
sending this for merger.

I have confirmation that the Alpha bit results in a booting kernel.
That leaves: blackfin, frv, sh and sparc untested.

The deadlock in question was found by Russell:

  IRQ handle
    -> timer_tick() - xtime seqlock held for write
      -> update_process_times()
        -> run_local_timers()
          -> hrtimer_run_queues()
            -> hrtimer_get_softirq_time() - tries to get a read lock

Now, Thomas assures me the fix is trivial, only do_timer() needs to be
done under the xtime_lock, and update_process_times() can savely be
removed from under it.

7fa3031500 aout: suppress A.OUT library support if !CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT
Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.

Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case.  Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.

To make this work, this patch also does the following:

 (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
     CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.

 (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
     core dumping code.

 (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline.  This
     is then included only where needed.  This means that this bit of arch
     code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
     the core kernel.

 (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
     needed) and FRV.

This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

6c81c32f96 calibrate_delay() must be __cpuinit
calibrate_delay() must be __cpuinit, not __{dev,}init.

I've verified that this is correct for all users.

While doing the latter, I also did the following cleanups:
- remove pointless additional prototypes in C files
- ensure all users #include <linux/delay.h>

This fixes the following section mismatches with CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n,
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1128d): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text.1:calibrate_delay (between 'check_cx686_slop' and 'set_cx86_reorder')
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x25102): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text.1:calibrate_delay (between 'smp_callin' and 'cpu_coregroup_map')

4d672e7ac7 timerfd: new timerfd API
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:

int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);

The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.

The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).

The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.

The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.

Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:
