Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux
Pull s390 fixes and kexec-file-load from Martin Schwidefsky: "After the common code kexec patches went in via Andrew we can now push the architecture parts to implement the kexec-file-load system call. Plus a few more bug fixes and cleanups, this includes an update to the default configurations" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: s390/signal: cleanup uapi struct sigaction s390: rename default_defconfig to debug_defconfig s390: remove gcov defconfig s390: update defconfig s390: add support for IBM z14 Model ZR1 s390: remove couple of duplicate includes s390/boot: remove unused COMPILE_VERSION and ccflags-y s390/nospec: include cpu.h s390/decompressor: Ignore file vmlinux.bin.full s390/kexec_file: add generated files to .gitignore s390/Kconfig: Move kexec config options to "Processor type and features" s390/kexec_file: Add ELF loader s390/kexec_file: Add crash support to image loader s390/kexec_file: Add image loader s390/kexec_file: Add kexec_file_load system call s390/kexec_file: Add purgatory s390/kexec_file: Prepare setup.h for kexec_file_load s390/smsgiucv: disable SMSG on module unload s390/sclp: avoid potential usage of uninitialized value

+ * There are two system calls in regard to sigaction, sys_rt_sigaction
+ * and sys_sigaction. Internally the kernel uses the struct old_sigaction
+ * for the older sys_sigaction system call, and the kernel version of the
+ * struct sigaction for the newer sys_rt_sigaction.
+ *
+ * The uapi definition for struct sigaction has made a strange distinction
+ * between 31-bit and 64-bit in the past. For 64-bit the uapi structure
+ * looks like the kernel struct sigaction, but for 31-bit it used to
+ * look like the kernel struct old_sigaction. That practically made the
+ * structure unusable for either system call. To get around this problem
+ * the glibc always had its own definitions for the sigaction structures.
+ *
+ * The current struct sigaction uapi definition below is suitable for the
+ * sys_rt_sigaction system call only.
