Pull arch atomic cleanups from Ingo Molnar:
"This is a series kept separate from the main locking tree, which
cleans up and improves various details in the atomics type handling:
- Remove the unused atomic_or_long() method
- Consolidate and compress atomic ops implementations between
architectures, to reduce linecount and to make it easier to add new
ops.
- Rewrite generic atomic support to only require cmpxchg() from an
architecture - generate all other methods from that"

This patch reduces the value of SIGRTMIN on PARISC from 37 to 32, thus
increasing the number of available RT signals and bring it in sync with other
Linux architectures.
Historically we wanted to natively support HP-UX 32bit binaries with the
PA-RISC Linux port. Because of that we carried the various available signals
from HP-UX (e.g. SIGEMT and SIGLOST) and folded them in between the native
Linux signals. Although this was the right decision at that time, this
required us to increase SIGRTMIN to at least 37 which left us with 27 (64-37)
RT signals.
Those 27 RT signals haven't been a problem in the past, but with the upcoming
importance of systemd we now got the problem that systemd alloctes (hardcoded)
signals up to SIGRTMIN+29 which is beyond our NSIG of 64. Because of that we
have not been able to use systemd on the PARISC Linux port yet.
Of course we could ask the systemd developers to not use those hardcoded
values, but this change is very unlikely, esp. with PA-RISC being a niche
architecture.
The other possibility would be to increase NSIG to e.g. 128, but this would
mean to duplicate most of the existing Linux signal handling code into the
parisc specific Linux kernel tree which would most likely introduce lots of new
bugs beside the code duplication.
The third option is to drop some HP-UX signals and shuffle some other signals
around to bring SIGRTMIN to 32. This is of course an ABI change, but testing
has shown that existing Linux installations are not visibly affected by this
change - most likely because we move those signals around which are rarely used
and move them to slots which haven't been used in Linux yet. In an existing
installation I was able to exchange either the Linux kernel or glibc (or both)
without affecting the boot process and installed applications.
Dropping the HP-UX signals isn't an issue either, since support for HP-UX was
basically dropped a few months back with Kernel 3.14 in commit
f5a408d53e already, when we changed EWOULDBLOCK
to be equal to EAGAIN.
So, even if this is an ABI change, it's better to change it now and thus bring
PARISC Linux in sync with other architectures to avoid other issues in the
future.

Most archs with HAVE_ARCH_CALLER_ADDR have pretty much the same
definitions of CALLER_ADDRx(n). Instead of duplicating the code for all
the archs, define a ftrace_return_address0() and
ftrace_return_address(n) that can be overwritten by the archs if they
need to do something different. Instead of 7 macros in every arch, we
now only have at most 2 (and actually only 1 as
ftrace_return_address0() should be the same for all archs).
The CALLER_ADDRx(n) will now be defined in linux/ftrace.h and use the
ftrace_return_address*(n?) macros. This removes a lot of the duplicate
code.

This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards
(currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum
initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable
via a config option.
The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two
memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the
memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense
to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used
as heap then.
This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and
uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few
years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

Specify the maximum stack size for arches where the stack grows upward
(parisc and metag) in asm/processor.h rather than hard coding in
fs/exec.c so that metag can specify a smaller value of 256MB rather than
1GB.
This fixes a BUG on metag if the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is increased
beyond a safe value by root. E.g. when starting a process after running
"ulimit -H -s unlimited" it will then attempt to use a stack size of the
maximum 1GB which is far too big for metag's limited user virtual
address space (stack_top is usually 0x3ffff000):
BUG: failure at fs/exec.c:589/shift_arg_pages()!

Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
"Drop the architecture-specifc value for_STK_LIM_MAX to fix stack
related problems with GNU make"
* 'parisc-3.15-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux:
parisc: Use generic uapi/asm/resource.h file
parisc: remove _STK_LIM_MAX override
There are only a couple of architectures that override _STK_LIM_MAX to
a non-infinity value. This changes the stack allocation semantics in
subtle ways. For example, GNU make changes its stack allocation to the
hard maximum defined by _STK_LIM_MAX. As a results, threads executed
by processes running under make are allocated a stack size of
_STK_LIM_MAX rather than a sensible default value. This causes various
thread stress tests to fail when they can't muster more than about 50
threads.
The attached change implements the default behavior used by the
majority of architectures.
