Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "While looking at some issues related to the exit path in the kernel I
  found several instances where the code is not using the existing
  abstractions properly.

  This set of changes introduces force_fatal_sig a way of sending a
  signal and not allowing it to be caught, and corrects the misuse of
  the existing abstractions that I found.

  A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such
  as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by
  hand, doing more work than necessary to terminate a kernel thread, or
  calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL).

  In the review a deficiency in force_fatal_sig and force_sig_seccomp
  where ptrace or sigaction could prevent the delivery of the signal was
  found. I have added a change that adds SA_IMMUTABLE to change that
  makes it impossible to interrupt the delivery of those signals, and
  allows backporting to fix force_sig_seccomp

  And Arnd found an issue where a function passed to kthread_run had the
  wrong prototype, and after my cleanup was failing to build."

Throughout the OpenRISC kernel port VMA is passed as NULL when flushing
kernel tlb entries.  Somehow this was missed when I was testing
c28b27416da9 ("openrisc: Implement proper SMP tlb flushing") and now the
SMP kernel fails to completely boot.

In OpenRISC VMA is used only to determine which cores need to have their
TLB entries flushed.

This patch updates the logic to flush tlbs on all cores when the VMA is
passed as NULL.  Also, we update places VMA is passed as NULL to use
flush_tlb_kernel_range instead.  Now, the only place VMA is passed as
NULL is in the implementation of flush_tlb_kernel_range.

Fixes: c28b27416da9 ("openrisc: Implement proper SMP tlb flushing")

Pull scheduler updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Revert the printk format based wchan() symbol resolution as it can
   leak the raw value in case that the symbol is not resolvable.

 - Make wchan() more robust and work with all kind of unwinders by
   enforcing that the task stays blocked while unwinding is in progress.

 - Prevent sched_fork() from accessing an invalid sched_task_group

 - Improve asymmetric packing logic

 - Extend scheduler statistics to RT and DL scheduling classes and add
   statistics for bandwith burst to the SCHED_FAIR class.

 - Properly account SCHED_IDLE entities

 - Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a
   newly created kthread. A recent change to plug a race between cpuset
   and __sched_setscheduler() introduced a new lock dependency which is
   now triggered. Break the lock dependency chain by moving the priority
   assignment to the thread function.

 - Fix the idle time reporting in /proc/uptime for NOHZ enabled systems.

 - Improve idle balancing in general and especially for NOHZ enabled
   systems.

 - Provide proper interfaces for live patching so it does not have to
   fiddle with scheduler internals.

 - Add cluster aware scheduling support.

 - A small set of tweaks for RT (irqwork, wait_task_inactive(), various
   scheduler options and delaying mmdrop)

 - The usual small tweaks and improvements all over the place

Pull scheduler updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Revert the printk format based wchan() symbol resolution as it can
   leak the raw value in case that the symbol is not resolvable.

 - Make wchan() more robust and work with all kind of unwinders by
   enforcing that the task stays blocked while unwinding is in progress.

 - Prevent sched_fork() from accessing an invalid sched_task_group

 - Improve asymmetric packing logic

 - Extend scheduler statistics to RT and DL scheduling classes and add
   statistics for bandwith burst to the SCHED_FAIR class.

 - Properly account SCHED_IDLE entities

 - Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a
   newly created kthread. A recent change to plug a race between cpuset
   and __sched_setscheduler() introduced a new lock dependency which is
   now triggered. Break the lock dependency chain by moving the priority
   assignment to the thread function.

 - Fix the idle time reporting in /proc/uptime for NOHZ enabled systems.

 - Improve idle balancing in general and especially for NOHZ enabled
   systems.

 - Provide proper interfaces for live patching so it does not have to
   fiddle with scheduler internals.

 - Add cluster aware scheduling support.

 - A small set of tweaks for RT (irqwork, wait_task_inactive(), various
   scheduler options and delaying mmdrop)

 - The usual small tweaks and improvements all over the place

Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Move futex code into kernel/futex/ and split up the kitchen sink into
   seperate files to make integration of sys_futex_waitv() simpler.

 - Add a new sys_futex_waitv() syscall which allows to wait on multiple
   futexes.

   The main use case is emulating Windows' WaitForMultipleObjects which
   allows Wine to improve the performance of Windows Games. Also native
   Linux games can benefit from this interface as this is a common wait
   pattern for this kind of applications.

 - Add context to ww_mutex_trylock() to provide a path for i915 to
   rework their eviction code step by step without making lockdep upset
   until the final steps of rework are completed. It's also useful for
   regulator and TTM to avoid dropping locks in the non contended path.

 - Lockdep and might_sleep() cleanups and improvements

 - A few improvements for the RT substitutions.

 - The usual small improvements and cleanups.

parisc, ia64 and powerpc32 are the only remaining architectures that
provide custom arch_{spin,read,write}_lock_flags() functions, which are
meant to re-enable interrupts while waiting for a spinlock.

However, none of these can actually run into this codepath, because
it is only called on architectures without CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK,
or when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set without CONFIG_LOCKDEP, and none
of those combinations are possible on the three architectures.

Going back in the git history, it appears that arch/mn10300 may have
been able to run into this code path, but there is a good chance that
it never worked. On the architectures that still exist, it was
already impossible to hit back in 2008 after the introduction of
CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and possibly earlier.

As this is all dead code, just remove it and the helper functions built
around it. For arch/ia64, the inline asm could be cleaned up, but
it seems safer to leave it untouched.
