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

Pull third pile of signal handling patches from Al Viro:
 "This time it's mostly helpers and conversions to them; there's a lot
  of stuff remaining in the tree, but that'll either go in -rc2
  (isolated bug fixes, ideally via arch maintainers' trees) or will sit
  there until the next cycle."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  x86: get rid of calling do_notify_resume() when returning to kernel mode
  blackfin: check __get_user() return value
  whack-a-mole with TIF_FREEZE
  FRV: Optimise the system call exit path in entry.S [ver #2]
  FRV: Shrink TIF_WORK_MASK [ver #2]
  FRV: Prevent syscall exit tracing and notify_resume at end of kernel exceptions
  new helper: signal_delivered()
  powerpc: get rid of restore_sigmask()
  most of set_current_blocked() callers want SIGKILL/SIGSTOP removed from set
  set_restore_sigmask() is never called without SIGPENDING (and never should be)
  TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK can be set only when TIF_SIGPENDING is set
  don't call try_to_freeze() from do_signal()
  pull clearing RESTORE_SIGMASK into block_sigmask()
  sh64: failure to build sigframe != signal without handler
  openrisc: tracehook_signal_handler() is supposed to be called on success
  new helper: sigmask_to_save()
  new helper: restore_saved_sigmask()
  new helpers: {clear,test,test_and_clear}_restore_sigmask()
  HAVE_RESTORE_SIGMASK is defined on all architectures now
