Pull signal/compat fixes from Al Viro:
"Fixes for several regressions introduced in the last signal.git pile,
along with fixing bugs in truncate and ftruncate compat (on just about
anything biarch at least one of those two had been done wrong)."
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
compat: restore timerfd settime and gettime compat syscalls
[regression] braino in "sparc: convert to ksignal"
fix compat truncate/ftruncate
switch lseek to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
lseek() and truncate() on sparc really need sign extension

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

ftruncate() doesn't - it's declared with size as unsigned long,
but truncate() and lseek() have that argument as signed long.
IOW, these two really need sign extension + branch to native
syscall; argument validation in sys_... does *not* suffice.

"This is the first pile; another one will come a bit later and will
contain SYSCALL_DEFINE-related patches.

(fixing several potential problems with missing argument
validation, while we are at it)
- a lot of now-pointless wrappers killed
- a couple of architectures (cris and hexagon) forgot to save
altstack settings into sigframe, even though they used the
(uninitialized) values in sigreturn; fixed.
- microblaze fixes for delivery of multiple signals arriving at once
- saner set of helpers for signal delivery introduced, several
architectures switched to using those."

If our first THP installation for an MM is via the set_pmd_at() done
during khugepaged's collapsing we'll end up in tsb_grow() trying to do
a GFP_KERNEL allocation with several locks held.
Simply using GFP_ATOMIC in this situation is not the best option
because we really can't have this fail, so we'd really like to keep
this an order 0 GFP_KERNEL allocation if possible.
Also, doing the TSB allocation from khugepaged is a really bad idea
because we'll allocate it potentially from the wrong NUMA node in that
context.
So what we do is defer the hugepage TSB allocation until the first TLB
miss we take on a hugepage. This is slightly tricky because we have
to handle two unusual cases:
1) Taking the first hugepage TLB miss in the window trap handler.
We'll call the winfix_trampoline when that is detected.
2) An initial TSB allocation via TLB miss races with a hugetlb
fault on another cpu running the same MM. We handle this by
unconditionally loading the TSB we see into the current cpu
even if it's non-NULL at hugetlb_setup time.

With the locking cleanup in place (from "OF: Fixup resursive
locking code paths"), we can now do the conversion from the
rw_lock to a raw spinlock as required for preempt-rt.
The previous cleanup and this conversion were originally
separate since they predated when mainline got raw spinlock (in
commit c2f21ce2e31286a "locking: Implement new raw_spinlock").
So, at that point in time, the cleanup was considered plausible
for mainline, but not this conversion. In any case, we've kept
them separate as it makes for easier review and better bisection.

Switch from __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGACTION to opposite
(!CONFIG_ODD_RT_SIGACTION); the only two architectures that

The patch adds a generic implementation with a wrapper for PowerPC to do

to keep it bisectable, otherwise kernel building may fail with mismatched

In commit d0a21265dfb5fa8a David Rientjes unified various archs'
module_alloc implementation (including x86) and removed the graduitous
shortcut for size == 0.
Then, in commit de7d2b567d040e3b, Joe Perches added a warning for
zero-length vmallocs, which can happen without kallsyms on modules
with no init sections (eg. zlib_deflate).
Fix this once and for all; the module code has to handle zero length
anyway, so get it right at the caller and remove the now-gratuitous
checks within the arch-specific module_alloc implementations.

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
"All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of that
stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.
A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):
- kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
or kernel_execve():
kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
successful do_execve() before returning.
kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
do transition to user mode anymore.
As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
architecture-independent.
- daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c
- struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.
- sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
kernel/fork.c now."

Update the sparc64 arch_get_unmapped_area[_topdown] functions to make use
of vm_unmapped_area() instead of implementing a brute force search.

Pull device tree changes from Grant Likely:
"Here are the DT changes I've got queued up for v3.8. As described
below, there are a lot of bug fixes here and documentation updates but
nothing major:
Bug fixes, little cleanups, and documentation changes. The most
invasive thing here touches a bunch of the arch directories to use a
common build rule for .dtb files. There are no major changes to
functionality here other than a few new helper functions."

If a signal handler is executed on altstack and another signal comes,
we will end up with rt_sigreturn() on return from the second handler
getting -EPERM from do_sigaltstack(). It's perfectly OK, since we
are not asking to change the settings; in fact, they couldn't have been
changed during the second handler execution exactly because we'd been
on altstack all along. 64bit sigreturn on sparc treats any error from
do_sigaltstack() as "SIGSEGV now"; we need to switch to the same semantics
we are using on other architectures.

Neither of these should ever be changed once set. Make them const and
fix up the users that try to modify it in-place. In one case
kmalloc+memcpy is replaced with kstrdup() to avoid modifying the string.
Build tested with defconfigs on ARM, PowerPC, Sparc, MIPS, x86 among
others.
