<content type='text'>
Rework the defintion of struct siginfo so that the array padding
struct siginfo to SI_MAX_SIZE can be placed in a union along side of
the rest of the struct siginfo members.  The result is that we no
longer need the __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE or SI_PAD_SIZE definitions.

When moving all of the architectures specific si_codes into
siginfo.h, I apparently overlooked EMT_TAGOVF.  Move it now.

Remove the now redundant test in siginfo_layout for SIGEMT
as now NSIGEMT is always defined.

<title>signal: Add TRAP_UNK si_code for undiagnosted trap exceptions</title>

Both powerpc and alpha have cases where they wronly set si_code to 0
in combination with SIGTRAP and don't mean SI_USER.

About half the time this is because the architecture can not report
accurately what kind of trap exception triggered the trap exception.
The other half the time it looks like no one has bothered to
figure out an appropriate si_code.

For the cases where the architecture does not have enough information
or is too lazy to figure out exactly what kind of trap exception
it is define TRAP_UNK.

Posix and common sense requires that SI_USER not be a signal specific
si_code. Thus add a new FPE_CONDTRAP si_code for conditional traps.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
 "The work on cleaning up and getting the bugs out of siginfo generation
  was largely stalled this round. The progress that was made was the
  definition of FPE_FLTUNK. Which is usable to fix many of the cases
  where siginfo generation is erroneously generating SI_USER by setting
  si_code to 0, that has recently been tagged as FPE_FIXME.

  You already have the change by way of the arm64 tree as that
  definition was pulled into the arm64 tree to allow fixing the problem
  there.

  What remains is the second round of fixing for what I thought was a
  trivial change to the struct siginfo when put the union in _sigfault
  where it belongs. Do to historical reasons 32bit m68k only ensures
  that pointers are 2 byte aligned. So I have added a m68k test case
  made of BUILD_BUG_ONs to verify I have this fix correct and possibly
  catch problems, and I have computed the number of bytes of padding
  needed for the _addr_bnd and _addr_pkey cases and just use an array of
  characters that size.

  For pure paranoia I have written the code so if there is an
  architecture out there that does not perform any alignment of
  structures it should still work.

  With the removal of all of the stale arechitectures this cycle future
  work on cleaning up struct siginfo should be much easier. Almost all
  of the conflicting si_code definitions have been removed with the
  removal of (blackfin, tile, and frv). Plus some of the most difficult
  to test cases have simply been removed from the tree.

  Which means that with a little luck copy_siginfo_to_user can become a
  light weight wrapper around copy_to_user in the next cycle"

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "Nothing particularly stands out here, probably because people were
  tied up with spectre/meltdown stuff last time around. Still, the main
  pieces are:

   - Rework of our CPU features framework so that we can whitelist CPUs
     that don't require kpti even in a heterogeneous system

   - Support for the IDC/DIC architecture extensions, which allow us to
     elide instruction and data cache maintenance when writing out
     instructions

   - Removal of the large memory model which resulted in suboptimal
     codegen by the compiler and increased the use of literal pools,
     which could potentially be used as ROP gadgets since they are
     mapped as executable

   - Rework of forced signal delivery so that the siginfo_t is
     well-formed and handling of show_unhandled_signals is consolidated
     and made consistent between different fault types

   - More siginfo cleanup based on the initial patches from Eric
     Biederman

   - Workaround for Cortex-A55 erratum #1024718

   - Some small ACPI IORT updates and cleanups from Lorenzo Pieralisi

   - Misc cleanups and non-critical fixes"

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
  m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
  drivers.

  I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
  ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
  unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
  respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
  but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.

  In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
  different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
  charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
  ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
  CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
  seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
  used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
  contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
  maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.

  [ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
    generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
    microarchitecture and a software ecosystem"   - Linus ]

  The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
  https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
  marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
  made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
  mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
  kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
  releases.

  After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
  gcc support:

   - unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
     maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
     in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.

   - openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
     their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
     place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
     degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
     Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
     will be similar

  [ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
    since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum  - Linus ]"

This really says it all:

<title>signal: Correct the offset of si_pkey and si_lower in struct siginfo on m68k</title>

<content type='text'>
The change moving addr_lsb into the _sigfault union failed to take
into account that _sigfault._addr_bnd._lower being a pointer forced
the entire union to have pointer alignment.  The fix for
_sigfault._addr_bnd._lower having pointer alignment failed to take
into account that m68k has a pointer alignment less than the size
of a pointer.  So simply making the padding members pointers changed
the location of later members in the structure.

Fix this by directly computing the needed size of the padding members,
and making the padding members char arrays of the needed size.  AKA
if __alignof__(void *) is 1 sizeof(short) otherwise __alignof__(void *).
Which should be exactly the same rules the compiler whould have
used when computing the padding.

I have tested this change by adding BUILD_BUG_ONs to m68k to verify
the offset of every member of struct siginfo, and with those testing
that the offsets of the fields in struct siginfo is the same before
I changed the generic _sigfault member and after the correction
to the _sigfault member.

I have also verified that the x86 with it's own BUILD_BUG_ONs to verify
the offsets of the siginfo members also compiles cleanly.

<id>urn:sha1:a402ab8cc7b0578c445f348c9010e62ab390bee8</id>
<content type='text'>
Unlike system call numbers the assignment of si_codes has never had a
reason to be made per architecture.  Some architectures have had unique
conditions to report and reporting those conditions needed new si_codes.
Nothing has ever needed si_codes to have different values on different
architectures.  The si_code space is vast so even with defining all
si_codes on all architectures there is no danger in running out of
si_code values.

The history of the si_codes BUS_MCEERR_AR, BUS_MCEER_AO, SEGV_BNDERR,
and SEGV_PKUERR show that a need of one architecture frequently becomes
a need of another architecture which makes sharing si_codes between
architectures a positive benefit and something to be encouraged.

Where there are no conflicts with the historical ia64 arch specific
si_codes and any other si_codes make them generic si_codes.  We might
need them on another architecture someday.

This leaves only the good example of arch generic si_codes in the kernel
for future architectures and architecture enhancments to follow.
Without bad examples to follow it should be easy to avoid the mistakes
of the past.
