schedule_tail() requires that the 'prev' task be passed as an argument
to it.  This arg is set in _switch, just before 'returning' to one of
the ret_* functions where schedule_tail is invoked.

Merge branch 'execve' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64 into no-rebases

This patch converts the arm64 port to use the generic sys_execve()
implementation removing the arm64-specific (compat_)sys_execve_wrapper()
functions.
Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE on arm64 and removes the
arm64-specific implementation of kernel_execve().
Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD on arm64, changes
copy_threads to cope with kernel threads creation and adapts
ret_from_fork accordingly. The arm64-specific kernel_thread
implementation is no longer needed.

Time to end that depravity, let's bury the body.  It's been

We still have wrappers, but nowhere near as scary as they used to be.
I'm not sure how necessary that flushw is now, TBH...

* in user thread case the registers had been copied as part of task_struct
already; no need to do it in copy_thread().
* no need to store kernel stack pointer into regs->r21; we know its offset
anyway.
* no need to clobber r3 in sys_fork_wrapper and friends - r28 will do just
as well and *it* will be overwritten anyway.
* no need to mess with storing the return address for child - it should just
use syscall_exit.
* no need to bother with separate stack frame for sys_clone() - just branch
there and be done with that.
* no need to bother with wrapper_exit - we need it only on the child_return,
so let's just do it there.
* use the same ksp for kernel threads and userland ones, while we are at it,
and let ret_from_kernel_execve() go through the normal syscall_exit.  More
straightforward is better here...

the only thing we use that for is in copy_thread(), where the way
we set it will result in rbs_size being 0.  Just move that calculating
rbs_size and copying rbs to non-kernel-thread side of
if (user_mode(regs)) in copy_thread() and set rbs_size to 0 on
kernel thread side.

It used to be called with NULL regs when creating idle threads on

Used to be used by kernel_thread(); dead code for 8 years...
Note that it's not sys_clone/sys_clone2 - those are used just
fine.

This version contains a few updates by David Daney, in particular it's
now using __builtin_frame_address() instead of asm() which depending
on personal taste, is slightly more appealing.

Move that sucker to just before TI_FPDEPTH and replace stb with sth in
etrap_save().  Take current_ds to its old place, so that we don't push
wsaved into TI_... flags.  That allows to lose clearing syscall_noerror
on return from syscall.

Pull MIPS update from Ralf Baechle:
 "Cleanups and fixes for breakage that occured earlier during this merge
  phase.  Also a few patches that didn't make the first pull request.
  Of those is the Alchemy work that merges code for many of the SOCs and
  evaluation boards thus among other code shrinkage, reduces the number
  of MIPS defconfigs by 5."
