2012-10-01sanitize tsk_is_polling()Al Viro
Make default just return 0. The current default (checking TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it; ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all. ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling()) and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all). Killed the latter... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-10-01score: fix bogus restarts on sigreturn()Al Viro
we *really* don't want to have restart logics hit when we are returning from sigreturn() - random replacement of %r4 with -4 just because a signal had been noticed from timer interrupt that came when %r4 happened to contain -514 is not nice at all. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-10-01m68k: switch to generic sys_execve()/kernel_execve()Al Viro
The tricky part here is that task_pt_regs() on m68k works *only* for process inside do_signal(). However, we need something much simpler - pt_regs of a process inside do_signal() may be at different offsets from the stack bottom, depending on the way we'd entered the kernel, but for a task inside sys_execve() it *is* at constant offset. Moreover, for a kernel thread about to become a userland process the same location is also fine - setting sp to that will leave the kernel stack pointer at the very bottom of the kernel stack when we finally switch to userland.

2012-10-01m68k: always set stack frame format for ColdFire on thread startGreg Ungerer
The stack frame "format" field needs to be explicitly set on thread creation on ColdFire. For a normal long word aligned user stack pointer the frame format is 0x4. We were doing this for non-MMU ColdFire, but not for the case with MMU enabled. So fix it so we always do it if targeting ColdFire. The old code happend to rely on the stack frame format being inhereted from the process calling exec. Furture changes means that may not always work, so we really do want to set it explicitly.

2012-10-01powerpc: switch to generic sys_execve()/kernel_execve()Al Viro
the only non-obvious part is that current_pt_regs() is really needed here - task_pt_regs() is NULL for kernel threads; it's OK for ptrace uses (the thing task_pt_regs() is intended for), but not for us. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

32bit wrapper is lost on that; 64bit one is *not*, since we need to arrange for full pt_regs on stack when we call sys_execve() and we need to load callee-saved ones from there afterwards. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-10-01arm: optimized current_pt_regs()Al Viro
... no need to read current_thread_info()->task only to feed it to task_thread_page() immediately afterwards. Moreover, not using current_thread_info() at all ends up with better assembler - we need a location very close to the top of kernel stack page and it's actually better to do or with 0x1fff, followed be subtracting a small constant than and with ~0x1fff, followed by adding a large one. Both & and | would be a couple of insns (mvn lsr/mvn lsl for |, a pair of bic for &), but the following addition would cost a pair of add while the subtraction ends up as a single sub.
