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."

f57d54bab6 Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest change affects group scheduling: we now track the runnable
  average on a per-task entity basis, allowing a smoother, exponential
  decay average based load/weight estimation instead of the previous
  binary on-the-runqueue/off-the-runqueue load weight method.

  This will inevitably disturb workloads that were in some sort of
  borderline balancing state or unstable equilibrium, so an eye has to
  be kept on regressions.

  For that reason the new load average is only limited to group
  scheduling (shares distribution) at the moment (which was also hurting
  the most from the prior, crude weight calculation and whose scheduling
  quality wins most from this change) - but we plan to extend this to
  regular SMP balancing as well in the future, which will simplify and
  speed up things a bit.

  Other changes involve ongoing preparatory work to extend NOHZ to the
  scheduler as well, eventually allowing completely irq-free user-space
  execution."

090f8ccba3 Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of activity:

   211 files changed, 8328 insertions(+), 4116 deletions(-)

  most of it on the tooling side.

  Main changes:

   * ftrace enhancements and fixes from Steve Rostedt.

   * uprobes fixes, cleanups and preparation for the ARM port from Oleg
     Nesterov.

   * UAPI fixes, from David Howels - prepares the arch/x86 UAPI
     transition

   * Separate perf tests into multiple objects, one per test, from Jiri
     Olsa.

   * Make hardware event translations available in sysfs, from Jiri
     Olsa.

   * Fixes to /proc/pid/maps parsing, preparatory to supporting data
     maps, from Namhyung Kim

   * Implement ui_progress for GTK, from Namhyung Kim

   * Add framework for automated perf_event_attr tests, where tools with
     different command line options will be run from a 'perf test', via
     python glue, and the perf syscall will be intercepted to verify
     that the perf_event_attr fields set by the tool are those expected,
     from Jiri Olsa

   * Add a 'link' method for hists, so that we can have the leader with
     buckets for all the entries in all the hists.  This new method is
     now used in the default 'diff' output, making the sum of the
     'baseline' column be 100%, eliminating blind spots.

   * libtraceevent fixes for compiler warnings trying to make perf it
     build on some distros, like fedora 14, 32-bit, some of the warnings
     really pointed to real bugs.

   * Add a browser for 'perf script' and make it available from the
     report and annotate browsers.  It does filtering to find the
     scripts that handle events found in the perf.data file used.  From
     Feng Tang

   * perf inject changes to allow showing where a task sleeps, from
     Andrew Vagin.

   * Makefile improvements from Namhyung Kim.

   * Add --pre and --post command hooks in 'stat', from Peter Zijlstra.

   * Don't stop synthesizing threads when one vanishes, this is for the
     existing threads when we start a tool like trace.

   * Use sched:sched_stat_runtime to provide a thread summary, this
     produces the same output as the 'trace summary' subcommand of
     tglx's original "trace" tool.

   * Support interrupted syscalls in 'trace'

   * Add an event duration column and filter in 'trace'.

   * There are references to the man pages in some tools, so try to
     build Documentation when installing, warning the user if that is
     not possible, from Borislav Petkov.

   * Give user better message if precise is not supported, from David
     Ahern.

   * Try to find cross-built objdump path by using the session
     environment information in the perf.data file header, from Irina
     Tirdea, original patch and idea by Namhyung Kim.

   * Diplays more output on features check for make V=1, so that one can
     figure out what is happening by looking at gcc output, etc.  From
     Jiri Olsa.

   * Add on_exit implementation for systems without one, e.g.  Android,
     from Bernhard Rosenkraenzer.

   * Only process events for vcpus of interest, helps handling large
     number of events, from David Ahern.

   * Cross compilation fixes for Android, from Irina Tirdea.

   * Add documentation on compiling for Android, from Irina Tirdea.

   * perf diff improvements from Jiri Olsa.

   * Target (task/user/cpu/syswide) handling improvements, from Namhyung
     Kim.

   * Add support in 'trace' for tracing workload given by command line,
     from Namhyung Kim.

e3942ba040 vtime: Consolidate a bit the ctx switch code
On ia64 and powerpc, vtime context switch only consists
in flushing system and user pending time, plus a few
arch housekeeping.

Consolidate that into a generic implementation. s390 is
a special case because pending user and system time accounting
there is hard to dissociate. So it's keeping its own implementation.

8cbd9cc625 tracing,x86: Add a TSC trace_clock
In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace,
add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded
in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on
exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously
interlaced.

Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large
timestamp values.

v2:
Move arch-specific bits out of generic code.
v3:
Rename "x86-tsc", cleanups
v7:
Generic arch bits in Kbuild.

658e5ce705 s390/topology: fix core id vs physical package id mix-up
The current topology code confuses core id vs physical package id.

In other words /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id
displays the physical_package_id (aka socket id) instead of the
core id.
The physical_package_id sysfs attribute always displays "-1"
instead of the socket id.

Fix this mix-up with a small patch which defines and initializes
topology_physical_package_id correctly and fixes the broken
core id handling.

fa968ee215 s390/signal: set correct address space control
If user space is running in primary mode it can switch to secondary
or access register mode, this is used e.g. in the clock_gettime code
of the vdso. If a signal is delivered to the user space process while
it has been running in access register mode the signal handler is
executed in access register mode as well which will result in a crash
most of the time.

Set the address space control bits in the PSW to the default for the
execution of the signal handler and make sure that the previous
address space control is restored on signal return. Take care
that user space can not switch to the kernel address space by
modifying the registers in the signal frame.

378b1e7a80 s390/mm: fix pmd_huge() usage for kernel mapping
pmd_huge() will always return 0 on !HUGETLBFS, however we use that helper
function when walking the kernel page tables to decide if we have a
1MB page frame or not.
Since we create 1MB frames for the kernel 1:1 mapping independently of
HUGETLBFS this can lead to incorrect storage accesses since the code
can assume that we have a pointer to a page table instead of a pointer
to a 1MB frame.

Fix this by adding a pmd_large() primitive like other architectures have
it already and remove all references to HUGETLBFS/HUGETLBPAGE from the
code that walks kernel page tables.

b113da6578 mm: Add and use update_mmu_cache_pmd() in transparent huge page code.
The transparent huge page code passes a PMD pointer in as the third
argument of update_mmu_cache(), which expects a PTE pointer.

This never got noticed because X86 implements update_mmu_cache() as a
macro and thus we don't get any type checking, and X86 is the only
architecture which supports transparent huge pages currently.

Before other architectures can support transparent huge pages properly we
need to add a new interface which will take a PMD pointer as the third
argument rather than a PTE pointer.

This patch is part of the architecture backend for thp on s390.  It
provides the pagetable pre-allocation functions
pgtable_trans_huge_deposit() and pgtable_trans_huge_withdraw().  Unlike
other archs, s390 has no struct page * as pgtable_t, but rather a pointer
to the page table.  So instead of saving the pagetable pre- allocation
list info inside the struct page, it is being saved within the pagetable
itself.

This patch is part of the architecture backend for thp on s390.  It
provides the functions related to thp splitting, including serialization
against gup.  Unlike other archs, pmdp_splitting_flush() cannot use a tlb
flushing operation to serialize against gup on s390, because that wouldn't
be stopped by the disabled IRQs.  So instead, smp_call_function() is
called with an empty function, which will have the expected effect.

5d3a551c28 mm: hugetlb: add arch hook for clearing page flags before entering pool
The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing
pages via free_pages_check.  A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS)
rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data
cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into
userspace.

This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages,
since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page
allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the
pool.

This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so
that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular
state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page
is freed into the pool.

 * A patch from Mark Brown to allow using the common clock infrastructure

 independent device drivers.
 
 * The UAPI split patches from David Howells for the asm-generic files.
 There are other architecture specific series that are going through
 the arch maintainer tree and that depend on this one.
 
 There may be a few small merge conflicts between Mark's patch and
 the following arch header file split patches. In each case the solution
 will be to keep the new "generic-y += clkdev.h" line, even if it
 ends up being the only line in the Kbuild file.

16a8016372 sanitize tsk_is_polling()
Make default just return 0.  The current default (checking
TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it;
ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need
to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all.

ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling())
and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all).  Killed the latter...

786d35d45c Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h
Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.

Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.

To this end, I've defined three new config bools:

 (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC

     Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
     mod_arch_specific struct.

 (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA

     Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
     the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
     defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.

 (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL

     Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
     the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
     defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.

Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
two arches that do this.

With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.

Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.
