062b1c19b8 xtensa: clean up access to spilled registers locations
Define macros SPILL_SLOT* that return a reference to the stack location
of the spill slot for specific register and use them instead of opencoded
address calculations.

68db0cf106 sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to <linux/sched/task_stack.h>
We are going to split <linux/sched/task_stack.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/task_stack.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

f56141e3e2 all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

efee984c27 new helper: signal_delivered()
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).

d12f7c4a2f xtensa: use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask()
As described in commit e6fa16ab9c ("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 5e6292c0f2
("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.

c658eac628 [XTENSA] Add support for configurable registers and coprocessors
The Xtensa architecture allows to define custom instructions and
registers. Registers that are bound to a coprocessor are only
accessible if the corresponding enable bit is set, which allows
to implement a 'lazy' context switch mechanism. Other registers
needs to be saved and restore at the time of the context switch
or during interrupt handling.

This patch adds support for these additional states:

- save and restore registers that are used by the compiler upon
  interrupt entry and exit.
- context switch additional registers unbound to any coprocessor
- 'lazy' context switch of registers bound to a coprocessor
- ptrace interface to provide access to additional registers
- update configuration files in include/asm-xtensa/variant-fsf

d09042da72 [PATCH] fix incorrect SA_ONSTACK behaviour for 64-bit processes

  V3.

- Also when setting an alternate stack using sigaltstack() with the flag
  SS_DISABLE, the kernel try to install the alternate stack on signal
  delivery.

These two use cases makes the process crash at signal delivery.

b9e122c80c [PATCH] xtensa: remove verify_area macros
verify_area() is still alive on xtensa in 2.6.17-rc3-git13 It would be nice
to finally be rid of that function across the board.

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.
