While looking at some issues related to the exit path in the kernel I
found several instances where the code is not using the existing
abstractions properly.

This set of changes introduces force_fatal_sig a way of sending
a signal and not allowing it to be caught, and corrects the
misuse of the existing abstractions that I found.

A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such
as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by
hand, doing more work than necessary to terminate a kernel thread, or
calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL).

It is my plan after sending all of these changes out for review to place
them in a topic branch for sending Linus.  Especially for the changes
that depend upon the new helper force_fatal_sig this is important.

Eric W. Biederman (20):
      exit/doublefault: Remove apparently bogus comment about rewind_stack_do_exit
      exit: Remove calls of do_exit after noreturn versions of die
      reboot: Remove the unreachable panic after do_exit in reboot(2)
      signal/sparc32: Remove unreachable do_exit in do_sparc_fault
      signal/mips: Update (_save|_restore)_fp_context to fail with -EFAULT
      signal/sh: Use force_sig(SIGKILL) instead of do_group_exit(SIGKILL)
      signal/powerpc: On swapcontext failure force SIGSEGV
      signal/sparc: In setup_tsb_params convert open coded BUG into BUG
      signal/vm86_32: Replace open coded BUG_ON with an actual BUG_ON
      signal/vm86_32: Properly send SIGSEGV when the vm86 state cannot be saved.
      signal/s390: Use force_sigsegv in default_trap_handler
      exit/kthread: Have kernel threads return instead of calling do_exit
      signal: Implement force_fatal_sig
      exit/syscall_user_dispatch: Send ordinary signals on failure
      signal/sparc32: Exit with a fatal signal when try_to_clear_window_buffer fails
      signal/sparc32: In setup_rt_frame and setup_fram use force_fatal_sig
      signal/x86: In emulate_vsyscall force a signal instead of calling do_exit
      exit/rtl8723bs: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0
      exit/rtl8712: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0
      exit/r8188eu: Replace the macro thread_exit with a simple return 0
