Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
"All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of that
stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.
A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):
- kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
or kernel_execve():
kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
successful do_execve() before returning.
kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
do transition to user mode anymore.
As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
architecture-independent.
- daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c
- struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.
- sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
kernel/fork.c now."

A comment in entry.S incorrectly stated that interrupt vectors
called __do_IRQ() and that int6 vector was used for syscalls.
Both statements are incorrect for the current kernel, so this
patch cleans up the wording to reflect current reality.

C6x was mistakenly running do_notify_resume with interrupts disabled.
This would triggerlead to a warning in local_bh_enable() because interrupts
were disabled:

The ENDPROC() on sys_fadvise64_c6x() in arch/c6x/kernel/entry.S is
outside of the conditional block with the matching ENTRY() macro. This
leads a newer (v2.22 vs. v2.20) assembler to complain:
/tmp/ccGZBaPT.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccGZBaPT.s: Error: .size expression for sys_fadvise64_c6x does not evaluate to a constant
The conditional block became dead code when c6x switched to generic
unistd.h and should be removed along with the offending ENDPROC().
