Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
"A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
task.
The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.
Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.
This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"
* 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (27 commits)
signal/x86: Move tsk inside of CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE in do_sigbus
signal: Remove the signal number and task parameters from force_sig_info
signal: Factor force_sig_info_to_task out of force_sig_info

The do_trap function is always called with tsk == current.
Make that obvious by removing the tsk parameter.
This also makes it clear that do_trap calls force_sig_fault
on the current task.

The macro __BUG_INSN currently is defined as the "ebreak" opcode.
The is_valid_bugaddr() function compares the instruction pointed to by
$sepc with macro __BUG_INSN to check whether the current trap exception
is caused by an "ebreak" instruction. However, this check flow is possibly
erroneous because if C extension is supported, the expected trap
instruction "ebreak" is possibly translated to "c.ebreak" by the assembler.
Therefore, it requires a mechanism to distinguish the length of the
instruction in $spec and compare it to the correct trap instruction.

The WARN() related function will trigger a debug exception. This can help
developers to analyze the cause of WARN() because if the debugger is
connected, the control flow will be transferred to debugging
environment.

INT and SHORT are used by some drivers that pull in the include files,
so prefixing helps avoid namespace conflicts. Other constructs in the
same file already uses this.
Fixes, among others, these warnings with allmodconfig:
../sound/core/pcm_misc.c:43:0: warning: "INT" redefined
#define INT __force int

This contains the various __init C functions, the initial assembly
kernel entry point, and the code to reset the system. When a file was
init-related this patch contains the entire file.
