Using the new current_pt_regs() model, we can remove some trampolines
from assembly code and call directly to the C syscall implementations.
rt_sigreturn() and clone() still need some assembly wrapping, but no
longer are passed a pt_regs pointer.  sigaltstack() and the
tilepro-specific cmpxchg_badaddr() syscalls are now just straight C.

schedule_tail() requires that the 'prev' task be passed as an argument
to it.  This arg is set in _switch, just before 'returning' to one of
the ret_* functions where schedule_tail is invoked.

Merge branch 'execve' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64 into no-rebases

This patch converts the arm64 port to use the generic sys_execve()
implementation removing the arm64-specific (compat_)sys_execve_wrapper()
functions.

This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE on arm64 and removes the
arm64-specific implementation of kernel_execve().

This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD on arm64, changes
copy_threads to cope with kernel threads creation and adapts
ret_from_fork accordingly. The arm64-specific kernel_thread
implementation is no longer needed.

We still have wrappers, but nowhere near as scary as they used to be.
I'm not sure how necessary that flushw is now, TBH...

* in user thread case the registers had been copied as part of task_struct
already; no need to do it in copy_thread().
* no need to store kernel stack pointer into regs->r21; we know its offset
anyway.
* no need to clobber r3 in sys_fork_wrapper and friends - r28 will do just
as well and *it* will be overwritten anyway.
* no need to mess with storing the return address for child - it should just
use syscall_exit.
* no need to bother with separate stack frame for sys_clone() - just branch
there and be done with that.
* no need to bother with wrapper_exit - we need it only on the child_return,
so let's just do it there.
* use the same ksp for kernel threads and userland ones, while we are at it,
and let ret_from_kernel_execve() go through the normal syscall_exit.  More
straightforward is better here...

the only thing we use that for is in copy_thread(), where the way
we set it will result in rbs_size being 0.  Just move that calculating
rbs_size and copying rbs to non-kernel-thread side of
if (user_mode(regs)) in copy_thread() and set rbs_size to 0 on
kernel thread side.

Used to be used by kernel_thread(); dead code for 8 years...
Note that it's not sys_clone/sys_clone2 - those are used just
fine.

This version contains a few updates by David Daney, in particular it's
now using __builtin_frame_address() instead of asm() which depending
on personal taste, is slightly more appealing.
