* don't bother with separate conditional for compat (both native and

Switch from __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGACTION to opposite
(!CONFIG_ODD_RT_SIGACTION); the only two architectures that
need it are alpha and sparc. The reason for use of CONFIG_...
instead of __ARCH_... is that it's needed only kernel-side
and doing it that way avoids a mess with include order on many
architectures.

Pull misc syscall fixes from Al Viro:
- compat syscall fixes (discussed back in December)
- a couple of "make life easier for sigaltstack stuff by reducing
inter-tree dependencies"
- fix up compiler/asmlinkage calling convention disagreement of
sys_clone()
- misc
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
sys_clone() needs asmlinkage_protect
make sure that /linuxrc has std{in,out,err}
x32: fix sigtimedwait
x32: fix waitid()
switch compat_sys_wait4() and compat_sys_waitid() to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
switch compat_sys_sigaltstack() to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
CONFIG_GENERIC_SIGALTSTACK build breakage with asm-generic/syscalls.h
Ensure that kernel_init_freeable() is not inlined into non __init code
The ia64 function "thread_matches()" has no users since commit
e868a55c2a ("[IA64] remove find_thread_for_addr()"). Remove it.
This allows us to make ptrace_check_attach() static to kernel/ptrace.c,
which is good since we'll need to change the semantics of it and fix up
all the callers.

If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock
while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing
was running off async. This is because async_synchronize_full() at
the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which
initiated the module loading.
async A modprobe
1. finds a device
2. registers the block device
3. request_module(default iosched)
4. modprobe in userland
5. load and init module
6. async_synchronize_full()
Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe
waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full().
Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to
userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult. For
now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init
has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus.
This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use
async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full(). This is
hacky and incomplete. It will deadlock if async module loading nests;
however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the
best of bad options.
For more details, please refer to the following thread.

Pull tracing regression fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"The clean up patch commit 0fb9656d95 "tracing: Make tracing_enabled
be equal to tracing_on" caused two regressions.
1) The irqs off latency tracer no longer starts if tracing_on is off
when the tracer is set, and then tracing_on is enabled. The
tracing_on file needs the hook that tracing_enabled had to enable
tracers if they request it (call the tracer's start() method).
2) That commit had a separate change that really should have been a
separate patch, but it must have been added accidently with the -a
option of git commit. But as the change is still related to the
commit it wasn't noticed in review. That change, changed the way
blocking is done by the trace_pipe file with respect to the
tracing_on settings. I've been told that this change breaks
current userspace, and this specific change is being reverted."
* tag 'trace-3.8-rc3-regression-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Fix regression of trace_pipe
tracing: Fix regression with irqsoff tracer and tracing_on file
Commit 0fb9656d "tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal to tracing_on"
changes the behaviour of trace_pipe, ie. it makes trace_pipe return if
we've read something and tracing is enabled, and this means that we have
to 'cat trace_pipe' again and again while running tests.
IMO the right way is if tracing is enabled, we always block and wait for
ring buffer, or we may lose what we want since ring buffer's size is limited.

audit_log_start() performs the same jiffies comparison in two places.
If sufficient time has elapsed between the two comparisons, the second

The seccomp path was using AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND from when seccomp mode 1
could only kill a process. While we still want to make sure an audit
record is forced on a kill, this should use a separate record type since
seccomp mode 2 introduces other behaviors.
In the case of "handled" behaviors (process wasn't killed), only emit a
record if the process is under inspection. This change also fixes
userspace examination of seccomp audit events, since it was considered
malformed due to missing fields of the AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND event type.
