Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "This is the first pile; another one will come a bit later and will
  contain SYSCALL_DEFINE-related patches.

   - a bunch of signal-related syscalls (both native and compat)
     unified.

   - a bunch of compat syscalls switched to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
     (fixing several potential problems with missing argument
     validation, while we are at it)

   - a lot of now-pointless wrappers killed

   - a couple of architectures (cris and hexagon) forgot to save
     altstack settings into sigframe, even though they used the
     (uninitialized) values in sigreturn; fixed.

   - microblaze fixes for delivery of multiple signals arriving at once

   - saner set of helpers for signal delivery introduced, several
     architectures switched to using those."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (143 commits)
  x86: convert to ksignal
  sparc: convert to ksignal
  arm: switch to struct ksignal * passing
  alpha: pass k_sigaction and siginfo_t using ksignal pointer
  burying unused conditionals
  make do_sigaltstack() static
  arm64: switch to generic old sigaction() (compat-only)
  arm64: switch to generic compat rt_sigaction()
  arm64: switch compat to generic old sigsuspend
  arm64: switch to generic compat rt_sigqueueinfo()
  arm64: switch to generic compat rt_sigpending()
  arm64: switch to generic compat rt_sigprocmask()
  arm64: switch to generic sigaltstack
  sparc: switch to generic old sigsuspend
  sparc: COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE does all sign-extension as well as SYSCALL_DEFINE
  sparc: kill sign-extending wrappers for native syscalls
  kill sparc32_open()
  sparc: switch to use of generic old sigaction
  sparc: switch sys_compat_rt_sigaction() to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
  mips: switch to generic sys_fork() and sys_clone()
