Everyone either defines it in arch thread_info.h or has TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
and picks default set_restore_sigmask() in linux/thread_info.h.  Kill the
ifdefs, slap #error in linux/thread_info.h to catch breakage when new ones
get merged.

These flags can be useful for extra allocations outside of the core
code.

Add __GFP_NOTRACK to them, so the archs which have kmemcheck do
not have to provide extra allocators just for that reason.

Instead of iterating over all possible timer bases avoid it by marking
the active bases in the cpu base.

posix timers were the last users of the legacy arg0-3 members of
restart_block. Remove the cruft.

@uaddr and @uaddr2 fields in restart_block.futex are user
pointers. Add __user and remove unnecessary casts.

<title>futex: add requeue_pi functionality</title>

<id>urn:sha1:52400ba946759af28442dee6265c5c0180ac7122</id>
<content type='text'>
PI Futexes and their underlying rt_mutex cannot be left ownerless if
there are pending waiters as this will break the PI boosting logic, so
the standard requeue commands aren't sufficient.  The new commands
properly manage pi futex ownership by ensuring a futex with waiters
has an owner at all times.  This will allow glibc to properly handle
pi mutexes with pthread_condvars.

The approach taken here is to create two new futex op codes:

FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI:
Tasks will use this op code to wait on a futex (such as a non-pi waitqueue)
and wake after they have been requeued to a pi futex.  Prior to returning to
userspace, they will acquire this pi futex (and the underlying rt_mutex).

futex_wait_requeue_pi() is the result of a high speed collision between
futex_wait() and futex_lock_pi() (with the first part of futex_lock_pi() being
done by futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() on behalf of the top_waiter).

FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI):
This call must be used to wake tasks waiting with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI,
regardless of how many tasks the caller intends to wake or requeue.
pthread_cond_broadcast() should call this with nr_wake=1 and
nr_requeue=INT_MAX.  pthread_cond_signal() should call this with nr_wake=1 and
nr_requeue=0.  The reason being we need both callers to get the benefit of the
futex_proxy_trylock_atomic() routine.  futex_requeue() also enqueues the
top_waiter on the rt_mutex via rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock().

<content type='text'>
with hrtimer poll/select, the signal restart data no longer is a single
long representing a jiffies count, but it becomes a second/nanosecond pair
that also needs to encode if there was a timeout at all or not.

This patch adds a struct to the restart_block union for this purpose

Change all the #ifdef TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK conditionals in non-arch code to
#ifdef HAVE_SET_RESTORE_SIGMASK.  If arch code defines it first, the generic
set_restore_sigmask() using TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is not defined.
