Use the more generic functions get_signal() signal_setup_done()
for signal delivery.
This inverts also the return codes of setup_*frame() to follow the
kernel convention.

<title>powerpc: Don't corrupt transactional state when using FP/VMX in kernel</title>

<id>d31626f70b6103f4d9153b75d07e0e8795728cc9</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, when we have a process using the transactional memory
facilities on POWER8 (that is, the processor is in transactional
or suspended state), and the process enters the kernel and the
kernel then uses the floating-point or vector (VMX/Altivec) facility,
we end up corrupting the user-visible FP/VMX/VSX state.  This
happens, for example, if a page fault causes a copy-on-write
operation, because the copy_page function will use VMX to do the
copy on POWER8.  The test program below demonstrates the bug.

The bug happens because when FP/VMX state for a transactional process
is stored in the thread_struct, we store the checkpointed state in
.fp_state/.vr_state and the transactional (current) state in
.transact_fp/.transact_vr.  However, when the kernel wants to use
FP/VMX, it calls enable_kernel_fp() or enable_kernel_altivec(),
which saves the current state in .fp_state/.vr_state.  Furthermore,
when we return to the user process we return with FP/VMX/VSX
disabled.  The next time the process uses FP/VMX/VSX, we don't know
which set of state (the current register values, .fp_state/.vr_state,
or .transact_fp/.transact_vr) we should be using, since we have no
way to tell if we are still in the same transaction, and if not,
whether the previous transaction succeeded or failed.

Thus it is necessary to strictly adhere to the rule that if FP has
been enabled at any point in a transaction, we must keep FP enabled
for the user process with the current transactional state in the
FP registers, until we detect that it is no longer in a transaction.
Similarly for VMX; once enabled it must stay enabled until the
process is no longer transactional.

In order to keep this rule, we add a new thread_info flag which we
test when returning from the kernel to userspace, called TIF_RESTORE_TM.
This flag indicates that there is FP/VMX/VSX state to be restored
before entering userspace, and when it is set the .tm_orig_msr field
in the thread_struct indicates what state needs to be restored.
The restoration is done by restore_tm_state().  The TIF_RESTORE_TM
bit is set by new giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional helpers,
which are called from enable_kernel_fp/altivec, giveup_vsx, and
flush_fp/altivec_to_thread instead of giveup_fpu/altivec.

The other thing to be done is to get the transactional FP/VMX/VSX
state from .fp_state/.vr_state when doing reclaim, if that state
has been saved there by giveup_fpu/altivec_maybe_transactional.
Having done this, we set the FP/VMX bit in the thread's MSR after
reclaim to indicate that that part of the state is now valid
(having been reclaimed from the processor's checkpointed state).

Finally, in the signal handling code, we move the clearing of the
transactional state bits in the thread's MSR a bit earlier, before
calling flush_fp_to_thread(), so that we don't unnecessarily set
the TIF_RESTORE_TM bit.

This is the test program:

/* Michael Neuling 4/12/2013
 *
 * See if the altivec state is leaked out of an aborted transaction due to
 * kernel vmx copy loops.
 *
 *   gcc -m64 htm_vmxcopy.c -o htm_vmxcopy
 *

/* We don't use all of these, but for reference: */

<title>powerpc/tm: Fix userspace stack corruption on signal delivery for active transactions</title>

<content type='text'>
When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with
the stack.  It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin.
The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that
returns before a tend.  In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed
transactional memory state.  If we write over this non transactionally or in
suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter
and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be
valid anymore.

To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use
the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated
state.  This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be
written below the stack required for the rollback.  The transaction is aborted
becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the
signal will be rolled back anyway.

For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the
normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer.

Tested with 64 and 32 bit signals

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "This is the first pile; another one will come a bit later and will
  contain SYSCALL_DEFINE-related patches.

   - a bunch of signal-related syscalls (both native and compat)
     unified.

   - a bunch of compat syscalls switched to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
     (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."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (143 commits)
  x86: convert to ksignal
  sparc: convert to ksignal
  arm: switch to struct ksignal * passing
  alpha: pass k_sigaction and siginfo_t using ksignal pointer
  burying unused conditionals
  make do_sigaltstack() static
  arm64: switch to generic old sigaction() (compat-only)
  arm64: switch to generic compat rt_sigaction()
  arm64: switch compat to generic old sigsuspend
  arm64: switch to generic compat rt_sigqueueinfo()
  arm64: switch to generic compat rt_sigpending()
  arm64: switch to generic compat rt_sigprocmask()
  arm64: switch to generic sigaltstack
  sparc: switch to generic old sigsuspend
  sparc: COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE does all sign-extension as well as SYSCALL_DEFINE
  sparc: kill sign-extending wrappers for native syscalls
  kill sparc32_open()
  sparc: switch to use of generic old sigaction
  sparc: switch sys_compat_rt_sigaction() to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
  mips: switch to generic sys_fork() and sys_clone()

With allmodconfig we are getting:
  drivers/tty/synclink_gt.c:160:12: error: conflicting types for 'set_break'
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/debug.h:49:5: note: previous declaration of 'set_break' was here

  drivers/tty/synclinkmp.c:526:12: error: conflicting types for 'set_break'
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/debug.h:49:5: note: previous declaration of 'set_break' was here

This renames set_break to set_breakpoint to avoid this naming conflict
