This patch adds support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK to ARM's
signal handling, which allows to hook up the pselect6, ppoll,
and epoll_pwait syscalls on ARM.
Tested here with eabi userspace and a test program with a
deliberate race between a child's exit and the parent's
sigprocmask/select sequence. Using sys_pselect6() instead
of sigprocmask/select reliably prevents the race.
The other arch's support for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK has evolved
over time:
In 2.6.16:
- add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK which parallels TIF_SIGPENDING
- test both when checking for pending signal [changed later]
- reimplement sys_sigsuspend() to use current->saved_sigmask,
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK [changed later], and -ERESTARTNOHAND;
ditto for sys_rt_sigsuspend(), but drop private code and
use common code via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND;
- there are now no "extra" calls to do_signal() so its oldset
parameter is always ¤t->blocked so need not be passed,
also its return value is changed to void
- change handle_signal() to return 0/-errno
- change do_signal() to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
+ get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
is set
+ if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
+ if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
clear it and restore the sigmask
- hook up sys_pselect6() and sys_ppoll()
In 2.6.19:
- hook up sys_epoll_pwait()
In 2.6.26:
- allow archs to override how TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is implemented;
default set_restore_sigmask() sets both TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK and
TIF_SIGPENDING; archs need now just test TIF_SIGPENDING again
when checking for pending signal work; some archs now implement
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as a secondary/non-atomic thread flag bit
- call set_restore_sigmask() in sys_sigsuspend() instead of setting
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
In 2.6.29-rc:
- kill sys_pselect7() which no arch wanted
So for 2.6.31-rc6/ARM this patch does the following:
- Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK. Use the generic set_restore_sigmask()
which sets both TIF_SIGPENDING and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, so
TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK need not claim one of the scarce low thread
flags, and existing TIF_SIGPENDING and _TIF_WORK_MASK tests need
not be extended for TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK.
- sys_sigsuspend() is reimplemented to use current->saved_sigmask
and set_restore_sigmask(), making it identical to most other archs
- The private code for sys_rt_sigsuspend() is removed, instead
generic code supplies it via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGSUSPEND.
- sys_sigsuspend() and sys_rt_sigsuspend() no longer need a pt_regs
parameter, so their assembly code wrappers are removed.
- handle_signal() is changed to return 0 on success or -errno.
- The oldset parameter to do_signal() is now redundant and removed,
and the return value is now also redundant and changed to void.
- do_signal() is changed to honor TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK:
+ get oldset from current->saved_sigmask if TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
is set
+ if handle_signal() was successful then clear TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
+ if no signal was delivered and TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set then
clear it and restore the sigmask
- Hook up sys_pselect6, sys_ppoll, and sys_epoll_pwait.

As __builtin_return_address(n) doesn't work for ARM with n > 0, the
kernel needs its own implementation.
This fixes many warnings saying:
warning: unsupported argument to '__builtin_return_address'
The new methods and walk_stackframe must not be instrumented because
CALLER_ADDRESSx is used in the various tracers and tracing the tracer is
a bad idea.
What's currently missing is an implementation using unwind tables. This
is not fatal though, it's just that the tracers don't get enough
information to be really useful.
Note that if both ARM_UNWIND and FRAME_POINTER are enabled,
walk_stackframe uses unwind information. So in this case the same
implementation is used as when FRAME_POINTER is disabled.

For future compatibility, we need to ensure that swap and file Linux
PTEs conform with the hardware PTEs "fault" encoding. Swap PTEs
already fit in with this, but file PTEs do not. Shift them by one
bit to ensure that they conform, using bit 2 to distinguish between
swap and file PTEs.

exception.txt only explains the code on x86, so it's better to
move it into Documentation/x86 directory.
And also rename it to exception-tables.txt which looks much
more reasonable.

Optimize cond_resched() by removing one conditional.
Currently cond_resched() checks system_state ==
SYSTEM_RUNNING in order to avoid scheduling before the
scheduler is running.
We can however, as per suggestion of Matt, use
PREEMPT_ACTIVE to accomplish that very same.

Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.
Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.
The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.
