Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
"sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um,
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure.
Note that there are several conflicts between "unify
SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline;
resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and
SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."
Fixed up conflicts as per Al.
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
alpha: switch to generic sigaltstack
new helpers: __save_altstack/__compat_save_altstack, switch x86 and um to those
generic compat_sys_sigaltstack()
introduce generic sys_sigaltstack(), switch x86 and um to it
new helper: compat_user_stack_pointer()
new helper: restore_altstack()
unify SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions
new helper: current_user_stack_pointer()
missing user_stack_pointer() instances
Bury the conditionals from kernel_thread/kernel_execve series
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE: infrastructure
Add finit_module syscall to the ARM syscall list.

After commit 846a136881 ("ARM: vfp: fix
saving d16-d31 vfp registers on v6+ kernels"), the OMAP 2430SDP board
started crashing during boot with omap2plus_defconfig:
[ 3.875122] mmcblk0: mmc0:e624 SD04G 3.69 GiB
[ 3.915954] mmcblk0: p1
[ 4.086639] Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] SMP ARM
[ 4.093719] Modules linked in:
[ 4.096954] CPU: 0 Not tainted (3.6.0-02232-g759e00b #570)
[ 4.103149] PC is at vfp_reload_hw+0x1c/0x44
[ 4.107666] LR is at __und_usr_fault_32+0x0/0x8
It turns out that the context save/restore fix unmasked a latent bug
in commit 5aaf254409 ("ARM: 6203/1: Make
VFPv3 usable on ARMv6"). When CONFIG_VFPv3 is set, but the kernel is
booted on a pre-VFPv3 core, the code attempts to save and restore the
d16-d31 VFP registers. These are only present on non-D16 VFPv3+, so
this results in an undefined instruction exception. The code didn't
crash before commit 846a136 because the save and restore code was
only touching d0-d15, present on all VFP.
Fix by implementing a request from Russell King to add a new HWCAP
flag that affirmatively indicates the presence of the d16-d31
registers:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=135013547905283&w=2
and some feedback from Måns to clarify the name of the HWCAP flag.
