Nice...  BTW, could you comment on
    m68k: don't open-code block_sigmask()
    m68k: use set_current_blocked in sigreturn/rt_sigreturn
    m68k-nommu: do_signal() is only called when returning to user mode
    m68k: add TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME and handle it.
in signal.git tree?  The last one is really interesting...

Just pick the current tree - one that was there yesterday had a dumb typo
in thread_info.h part, so it wouldn't even compile (TIF_NOTIFE_RESUME
defined instead of TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME ;-/)
