Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

<title>ARCv2: entry: push out the Z flag unclobber from common EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:23c0cbd0c75c3b564850294427fd2be2bc2a015b</id>
<content type='text'>
Upon a taken interrupt/exception from User mode, HS hardware auto sets Z flag.
This helps shave a few instructions from EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE by eliding
re-reading ERSTATUS and some bit fiddling.

However TLB Miss Exception handler can clobber the CPU flags and still end
up in EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE in the slow path handling TLB handling case:

   EV_TLBMissD
     do_slow_path_pf
       EV_TLBProtV (aliased to call_do_page_fault)
          EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE

As a result, EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE need to "unclobber" the Z flag which this
patch changes. It is now pushed out to TLB Miss Exception handler.
The reasons beings:

 - The flag restoration is only needed for slowpath TLB Miss Exception
   handling, but currently being in EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE penalizes all
   exceptions such as ProtV and syscall Trap, where Z flag is already
   as expected.

 - Pushing unclobber out to where it was clobbered is much cleaner and
   also serves to document the fact.

 - Makes EXCEPTION_PROLGUE similar to INTERRUPT_PROLOGUE so easier to
   refactor the common parts which is what this series aims to do

<content type='text'>
In case of successful page fault handling, this patch releases mmap_sem
before updating the perf stat event for major/minor faults. So even
though the contention reduction is NOT super high, it is still an
improvement.

There's an additional code size improvement as we only have 2 up_read()
calls now.

Note to myself:
--------------

1. Given the way it is done, we are forced to move @bad_area label earlier
   causing the various "goto bad_area" cases to hit perf stat code.

 - PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS is NOW updated for access errors which is what
   arm/arm64 seem to be doing as well (with slightly different code)
 - PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_{MAJ,MIN} must NOT be updated for the
   error case which is guarded by now setting @fault initial value
   to VM_FAULT_ERROR which serves both cases when handle_mm_fault()
   returns error or is not called at all.

2. arm/arm64 use two homebrew fault flags VM_FAULT_BAD{MAP,MAPACCESS}
   which I was inclined to add too but seems not needed for ARC

 - given that we have everything is 1 function we can still use goto
 - we setup si_code at the right place (arm* do that in the end)
 - we init fault already to error value which guards entry into perf
   stats event update

 - single up_read() call vs. 4
 - so much easier on eyes

Technically it seems like @bad_area label moved up, but even in old
regime, it was a special case of delivering SIGSEGV unconditionally
which we now do as well, although with checks.

Also note that @fault needs to be initialized since we can land in
@bad_area (which reads it) without setting it up with return value of
handle_mm_fault() - failing to do so did bite us although as a side
effect of different patch: see [1]
