Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal
Pull generic execve() changes from Al Viro:
"This introduces the generic kernel_thread() and kernel_execve()
functions, and switches x86, arm, alpha, um and s390 over to them."
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (26 commits)
s390: convert to generic kernel_execve()
s390: switch to generic kernel_thread()
s390: fold kernel_thread_helper() into ret_from_fork()
s390: fold execve_tail() into start_thread(), convert to generic sys_execve()
um: switch to generic kernel_thread()
x86, um/x86: switch to generic sys_execve and kernel_execve
x86: split ret_from_fork
alpha: introduce ret_from_kernel_execve(), switch to generic kernel_execve()
alpha: switch to generic kernel_thread()
alpha: switch to generic sys_execve()
arm: get rid of execve wrapper, switch to generic execve() implementation
arm: optimized current_pt_regs()
arm: introduce ret_from_kernel_execve(), switch to generic kernel_execve()
arm: split ret_from_fork, simplify kernel_thread() [based on patch by rmk]
generic sys_execve()
generic kernel_execve()
new helper: current_pt_regs()
preparation for generic kernel_thread()
um: kill thread->forking
um: let signal_delivered() do SIGTRAP on singlestepping into handler
