uprobes/powerpc: Add dependency on single step emulation

2013-02-28T13:38:38Z

commit 5e249d4528528c9a77da051a89ec7f99d31b83eb upstream. Uprobes uses emulate_step in sstep.c, but we haven't explicitly specified the dependency. On pseries HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT protects us, but 44x has no such luxury. Consolidate other users that depend on sstep and create a new config option.

Bury the conditionals from kernel_thread/kernel_execve series

2012-12-19T23:07:38Z

All architectures have CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE __ARCH_WANT_SYS_EXECVE None of them have __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and there are only two callers of kernel_execve() (which is a trivial wrapper for do_execve() now) left. Kill the conditionals and make both callers use do_execve(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro
