If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

Merge tag 'for-3.16' of git://git.linaro.org/people/ard.biesheuvel/linux-arm into upstream
FPSIMD register bank context switching and crypto algorithms
optimisations for arm64 from Ard Biesheuvel.
* tag 'for-3.16' of git://git.linaro.org/people/ard.biesheuvel/linux-arm:
arm64/crypto: AES-ECB/CBC/CTR/XTS using ARMv8 NEON and Crypto Extensions
arm64: pull in <asm/simd.h> from asm-generic
arm64/crypto: AES in CCM mode using ARMv8 Crypto Extensions
arm64/crypto: AES using ARMv8 Crypto Extensions
arm64/crypto: GHASH secure hash using ARMv8 Crypto Extensions
arm64/crypto: SHA-224/SHA-256 using ARMv8 Crypto Extensions
arm64/crypto: SHA-1 using ARMv8 Crypto Extensions
arm64: add support for kernel mode NEON in interrupt context
arm64: defer reloading a task's FPSIMD state to userland resume
arm64: add abstractions for FPSIMD state manipulation
asm-generic: allow generic unaligned access if the arch supports it
Conflicts:
arch/arm64/include/asm/thread_info.h
Some kernel files may include both linux/compat.h and asm/compat.h directly
or indirectly. Since both header files contain is_compat_task() under
!CONFIG_COMPAT, compiling them with !CONFIG_COMPAT will eventually fail.
Such files include kernel/auditsc.c, kernel/seccomp.c and init/do_mountfs.c
(do_mountfs.c may read asm/compat.h via asm/ftrace.h once ftrace is
implemented).
So this patch proactively
1) removes is_compat_task() under !CONFIG_COMPAT from asm/compat.h
2) replaces asm/compat.h to linux/compat.h in kernel/*.c,
but asm/compat.h is still necessary in ptrace.c and process.c because
they use is_compat_thread().

This information is useful for instruction emulators to detect
read/write and access size without having to decode the faulting
instruction. The current patch exports it via sigcontext (struct
esr_context) and is only valid for SIGSEGV and SIGBUS.

This patch removes the aux_context structure (and the containing file)
to allow the placement of the _aarch64_ctx end magic based on the
context stored on the signal stack.

If a task gets scheduled out and back in again and nothing has touched
its FPSIMD state in the mean time, there is really no reason to reload
it from memory. Similarly, repeated calls to kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end() will preserve and restore the FPSIMD state every time.
This patch defers the FPSIMD state restore to the last possible moment,
i.e., right before the task returns to userland. If a task does not return to
userland at all (for any reason), the existing FPSIMD state is preserved
and may be reused by the owning task if it gets scheduled in again on the
same CPU.
This patch adds two more functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD
register file saves and restores:
- fpsimd_restore_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is loaded
- fpsimd_flush_task_state -> invalidate live copies of a task's FPSIMD state

There are two tacit assumptions in the FPSIMD handling code that will no longer
hold after the next patch that optimizes away some FPSIMD state restores:
. the FPSIMD registers of this CPU contain the userland FPSIMD state of
task 'current';
. when switching to a task, its FPSIMD state will always be restored from
memory.
This patch adds the following functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD
register file saves and restores:
- fpsimd_preserve_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is saved
- fpsimd_update_current_state -> replace current's FPSIMD state
Where necessary, the signal handling and fork code are updated to use the above
wrappers instead of poking into the FPSIMD registers directly.

We only have one type of frame (rt_sigframe) for arm64, so just return
that type directly and dispense with the framesize argument, which is
presumably a hangover from code copied from arch/arm/.

To allow debuggers to unwind through signal frames, we create a fake
stack unwinding prologue containing the link register and frame pointer
of the interrupted context. The signal frame is then offset by 16 bytes
to make room for the two saved registers which are pushed onto the frame
of the *interrupted* context, rather than placed directly above the
signal stack.
This doesn't work when an alternative signal stack is set up for a SEGV
handler, which is raised in response to RLIMIT_STACK being reached. In
this case, we try to push the unwinding prologue onto the full stack and
subsequently take a fault which we fail to resolve, causing setup_return
to return -EFAULT and handle_signal to force_sigsegv on the current task.
This patch fixes the problem by including the unwinding prologue as part
of the rt_sigframe definition, which is populated during setup_sigframe,
ensuring that it always ends up on the signal stack.

This patch adds support for signal handling. The sigreturn is done via
VDSO, introduced by a previous patch. The SA_RESTORER is still defined
as it is required for 32-bit (compat) support but it is not to be used
for 64-bit applications.
