getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

Pull PWM subsystem from Thierry Reding:
"The new PWM subsystem aims at collecting all implementations of the
legacy PWM API and to eventually replace it completely.
The subsystem has been in development for over half a year now and
many drivers have already been converted. It has been in linux-next
for a couple of weeks and there have been no major issues so I think
it is ready for inclusion in your tree."
Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>:
"Very much Ack on the new subsystem. It uses the interface
declarations as the previously separate pwm drivers, so nothing
changes for now in the drivers using it, although it enables us to
change those more easily in the future if we want to.
This work is also one of the missing pieces that are required to
eventually build ARM kernels for multiple platforms, which is
currently prohibited (amongs other things) by the fact that you cannot
have more than one driver exporting the pwm functions."

Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler(); called when
sigframe has been successfully built. All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).
I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

To fix this, blackfin should not grab the write_ variant of the
tasklist lock, read_ one is enough.

The patch fixes two problems:
1. Working with task->mm w/o getting mm or grabing the task lock is
dangerous as ->mm might disappear (exit_mm() assigns NULL under
task_lock(), so tasklist lock is not enough).
We can't use get_task_mm()/mmput() pair as mmput() might sleep,
so we have to take the task lock while handle its mm.
2. Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main
thread may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads
may still have a valid mm.
To catch this we use find_lock_task_mm(), which walks up all
threads and returns an appropriate task (with task lock held).

As described in e6fa16ab ("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.
