Linus Torvalds bd0f9b356d sched/headers: fix up header file dependency on <linux/sched/signal.h>
The scheduler header file split and cleanups ended up exposing a few
nasty header file dependencies, and in particular it showed how we in
<linux/wait.h> ended up depending on "signal_pending()", which now comes
from <linux/sched/signal.h>.

That's a very subtle and annoying dependency, which already caused a
semantic merge conflict (see commit e58bc92783 "Pull overlayfs updates
from Miklos Szeredi", which added that fixup in the merge commit).

It turns out that we can avoid this dependency _and_ improve code
generation by moving the guts of the fairly nasty helper #define
__wait_event_interruptible_locked() to out-of-line code.  The code that
includes the signal_pending() check is all in the slow-path where we
actually go to sleep waiting for the event anyway, so using a helper
function is the right thing to do.

Using a helper function is also what we already did for the non-locked
versions, see the "__wait_event*()" macros and the "prepare_to_wait*()"
set of helper functions.

We might want to try to unify all these macro games, we have a _lot_ of
subtly different wait-event loops.  But this is the minimal patch to fix
the annoying header dependency.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
