Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal

Pull generic execve() changes from Al Viro:
 "This introduces the generic kernel_thread() and kernel_execve()
  functions, and switches x86, arm, alpha, um and s390 over to them."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (26 commits)
  s390: convert to generic kernel_execve()
  s390: switch to generic kernel_thread()
  s390: fold kernel_thread_helper() into ret_from_fork()
  s390: fold execve_tail() into start_thread(), convert to generic sys_execve()
  um: switch to generic kernel_thread()
  x86, um/x86: switch to generic sys_execve and kernel_execve
  x86: split ret_from_fork
  alpha: introduce ret_from_kernel_execve(), switch to generic kernel_execve()
  alpha: switch to generic kernel_thread()
  alpha: switch to generic sys_execve()
  arm: get rid of execve wrapper, switch to generic execve() implementation
  arm: optimized current_pt_regs()
  arm: introduce ret_from_kernel_execve(), switch to generic kernel_execve()
  arm: split ret_from_fork, simplify kernel_thread() [based on patch by rmk]
  generic sys_execve()
  generic kernel_execve()
  new helper: current_pt_regs()
  preparation for generic kernel_thread()
  um: kill thread->forking
  um: let signal_delivered() do SIGTRAP on singlestepping into handler
