Vaguely based on upstream commit 574c4866e33d 'consolidate kernel-side
struct sigaction declarations'.

flush_signal_handlers() needs to know whether sigaction::sa_restorer
is defined, not whether SA_RESTORER is defined.  Define the
__ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER macro to indicate this.

<title>mn10300: only add -mmem-funcs to KBUILD_CFLAGS if gcc supports it</title>

commit 9957423f035c2071f6d1c5d2f095cdafbeb25ad7 upstream.

It seems the current (gcc 4.6.3) no longer provides this so make it
conditional.

As reported by Tony before, the mn10300 architecture cross-compiles with
gcc-4.6.3 if -mmem-funcs is not added to KBUILD_CFLAGS.

MN10300's asm/uaccess.h needs to #include linux/kernel.h to get might_sleep()
otherwise it fails to build on MN10300 allyesconfig.  This fails in a few

<title>MN10300: die_if_no_fixup() shouldn't use get_user() as it doesn't call set_fs()</title>

die_if_no_fixup() shouldn't use get_user() as it doesn't call set_fs() to
indicate that it wants to probe a kernel address.  Instead it should use
probe_kernel_read().

This fixes the problem of gdb seeing SIGILL rather than SIGTRAP when hitting
the KGDB special breakpoint upon SysRq+g being seen.  The problem was that
die_if_no_fixup() was failing to read the opcode of the instruction that caused
the exception, and thus not fixing up the exception.

This caused gdb to get a S04 response to the $? request in its remote protocol
rather than S05 - which would then cause it to continue with $C04 rather than
$c in an attempt to pass the signal onto the inferior process.  The kernel,
however, does not support $Cnn, and so objects by returning an E22 response,
indicating an error.  gdb does not expect this and prints:

	warning: Remote failure reply: E22

and then returns to the gdb command prompt unable to continue.

<title>MN10300: Fix one of the kernel debugger cacheflush variants</title>

<content type='text'>
One of the kernel debugger cacheflush variants escaped proper testing.  Two of
the labels are wrong, being derived from the code that was copied to construct
the variant.

The first label results in the following assembler message:

    AS      arch/mn10300/mm/cache-dbg-flush-by-reg.o
  arch/mn10300/mm/cache-dbg-flush-by-reg.S: Assembler messages:
  arch/mn10300/mm/cache-dbg-flush-by-reg.S:123: Error: symbol `debugger_local_cache_flushinv_no_dcache' is already defined

And the second label results in the following linker message:

  arch/mn10300/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0x1d39): undefined reference to `mn10300_local_icache_inv_range_reg_end'
  arch/mn10300/mm/built-in.o:(.text+0x1d39): relocation truncated to fit: R_MN10300_PCREL16 against undefined symbol `mn10300_local_icache_inv_range_reg_end'

To test this file the following configuration pieces must be set:

	CONFIG_AM34=y
	CONFIG_MN10300_CACHE_WBACK=y
	CONFIG_MN10300_DEBUGGER_CACHE_FLUSH_BY_REG=y
	CONFIG_MN10300_CACHE_MANAGE_BY_REG=y

32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.

setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.

While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.

v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano &lt;dlezcano@fr.ibm.com&gt;
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman &lt;ebiederm@xmission.com&gt;
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

<title>cgroup: remove the ns_cgroup</title>

<id>a77aea92010acf54ad785047234418d5d68772e2</id>
<content type='text'>
The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:

  * cgroup creation is out-of-control
  * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
  * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
    namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
  * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup

  The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
  where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
  The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to
  the 'tasks' file.

This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread:

https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html

The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used.

This is a userspace-visible change.  Commit 45531757b45c ("cgroup: notify
ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a
printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal.  Since that
time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this.

The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and
leads to some problems:

  * cgroup creation is out-of-control
  * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping
  * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of
    namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time
  * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup

  The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children',
  where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values.
