new helper: compat_user_stack_pointer() · 9b064fc3

Al Viro authored Dec 14, 2012

Compat counterpart of current_user_stack_pointer(); for most of the biarch
architectures those two are identical, but e.g. arm64 and arm use different
registers for stack pointer...

Note that amd64 variants of current_user_stack_pointer/compat_user_stack_pointer
do *not* rely on pt_regs having been through FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK.

new helper: current_user_stack_pointer() · 1ca97bb5

Al Viro authored Nov 18, 2012

	Cross-architecture equivalent of rdusp(); default is
user_stack_pointer(current_pt_regs()) - that works for almost all
platforms that have usp saved in pt_regs.  The only exception from
that is ia64 - we want memory stack, not the backing store for
register one.

Bury the conditionals from kernel_thread/kernel_execve series · ae903caa

Al Viro authored Dec 14, 2012

All architectures have
	CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD
	CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE
	__ARCH_WANT_SYS_EXECVE
None of them have __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and there are only two callers
of kernel_execve() (which is a trivial wrapper for do_execve() now) left.
Kill the conditionals and make both callers use do_execve().

- new helper: signal_pt_regs() · 22062a96
  Al Viro authored Nov 05, 2012
```
Always equal to task_pt_regs(current); defined only when we are in
signal delivery.  It may be different from current_pt_regs() - e.g.
architectures like m68k may have pt_regs location on exception
different from that on a syscall and signals (just as ptrace handling)
may happen on exceptions as well as on syscalls.

When they are equal, it's often better to have signal_pt_regs
defined (in asm/ptrace.h) as current_pt_regs - that tends to be
optimized better than default would be.  However, optimisation is
the only reason why we might want an arch-specific definition;
if current_pt_regs() and task_pt_regs(current) have different
values, the latter one is right.
