Unlike the other targets, alpha sets _one_ sigframe and
buggers off until the next syscall/interrupt, even if
more signals are pending. It leads to quite a few unpleasant
inconsistencies, starting with SIGSEGV potentially arriving
not where it should and including e.g. mess with sigsuspend();
consider two pending signals blocked until sigsuspend()
unblocks them. We pick the first one; then, if we are hit
by interrupt while in the handler, we process the second one
as well. If we are not, and if no syscalls had been made,
we get out of the first handler and leave the second signal
pending; normally sigreturn() would've picked it anyway, but
here it starts with restoring the original mask and voila -
the second signal is blocked again. On everything else we
get both delivered consistently.
It's actually easy to fix; the only thing to watch out for
is prevention of double syscall restart. Fortunately, the
idea I've nicked from arm fix by rmk works just fine...
Testcase demonstrating the behaviour in question; on alpha
we get one or both flags set (usually one), on everything
else both are always set.
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int had1, had2;
void f1(int sig) { had1 = 1; }
void f2(int sig) { had2 = 1; }
main()
{
sigset_t set1, set2;
sigemptyset(&set1);
sigemptyset(&set2);
sigaddset(&set2, 1);
sigaddset(&set2, 2);
signal(1, f1);
signal(2, f2);
sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &set2, NULL);
raise(1);
raise(2);
sigsuspend(&set1);
printf("had1:%d had2:%d\n", had1, had2);
}

The way sigreturn() is implemented on alpha breaks PTRACE_SYSCALL,
all way back to 1.3.95 when alpha has grown PTRACE_SYSCALL support.
What happens is direct return to ret_from_syscall, in order to bypass
mangling of a3 (error indicator) and prevent other mutilations of
registers (e.g. by syscall restart). That's fine, but... the entire
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE codepath is kept separate on alpha and post-syscall
stopping/notifying the tracer is after the syscall. And the normal
path we are forcibly switching to doesn't have it.
So we end up with *one* stop in traced sigreturn() vs. two in other
syscalls. And yes, strace is visibly broken by that; try to strace
the following
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void f(int sig) {}
main()
{
signal(SIGHUP, f);
raise(SIGHUP);
write(1, "eeeek\n", 6);
}
and watch the show. The
close(1) = 405
in the end of strace output is coming from return value of write() (6 ==
__NR_close on alpha) and syscall number of exit_group() (__NR_exit_group ==
405 there).
The fix is fairly simple - the only thing we end up missing is the call
of syscall_trace() and we can tell whether we'd been called from the
SYSCALL_TRACE path by checking ra value. Since we are setting the
switch_stack up (that's what sys_sigreturn() does), we have the right
environment for calling syscall_trace() - just before we call
undo_switch_stack() and return. Since undo_switch_stack() will overwrite
s0 anyway, we can use it to store the result of "has it been called from
SYSCALL_TRACE path?" check. The same thing applies in rt_sigreturn().

Old code used to set regs->r0 and regs->r19 to force the right
return value. Leaving that after switch to ERESTARTNOHAND
was a Bad Idea(tm), since now that screws the restart - if we
hit the case when get_signal_to_deliver() returns 0, we will
step back to syscall insn, with v0 set to EINTR and a3 to 1.
The latter won't matter, since EINTR is 4, aka __NR_write.
Testcase:
#include <signal.h>
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
main()
{
sigset_t mask;
sigemptyset(&mask);
sigaddset(&mask, SIGCONT);
sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &mask, NULL);
kill(0, SIGCONT);
syscall(__NR_sigsuspend, 1, "b0rken\n", 7);
}
results on alpha in immediate message to stdout...
Fix is obvious; moreover, since we don't need regs anymore, we can
switch to normal prototypes for these guys and lose the wrappers.
Even better, rt_sigsuspend() is identical to generic version in
kernel/signal.c now.

Remove __attribute__((weak)) from common code sys_pipe implemantation.
IA64, ALPHA, SUPERH (32bit) and SPARC (32bit) have own implemantations
with the same name. Just rename them.
For sys_pipe2 there is no architecture specific implementation.

Separate the task security context from task_struct. At this point, the
security data is temporarily embedded in the task_struct with two pointers
pointing to it.
Note that the Alpha arch is altered as it refers to (E)UID and (E)GID in
entry.S via asm-offsets.

This patch converts alpha to the generic sys_ptrace. We use
force_successful_syscall_return to avoid having to pass the pt_regs pointer
down to the function. I think the removal of the assemly stub is correct,
but I could only compile-test this patch, so please give it a spin before
commiting :)

Some architectures provide an execve function that does not set errno, but
instead returns the result code directly. Rename these to kernel_execve to
get the right semantics there. Moreover, there is no reasone for any of these
architectures to still provide __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__ or _syscallN macros, so
remove these right away.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
