    Linus Torvalds authored
    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."
