This mostly reverts the old commit 3963333fe676 ("uml: cover stubs
with a VMA") which had added a VMA to the existing PTEs. However,
there's no real reason to have the PTEs in the first place and the
VMA cannot be 'fixed' in place, which leads to bugs that userspace
could try to unmap them and be forcefully killed, or such. Also,
there's a bit of an ugly hole in userspace's address space.
Simplify all this: just install the stub code/page at the top of
the (inner) address space, i.e. put it just above TASK_SIZE. The
pages are simply hard-coded to be mapped in the userspace process
we use to implement an mm context, and they're out of reach of the
inner mmap/munmap/mprotect etc. since they're above TASK_SIZE.
Getting rid of the VMA also makes vma_merge() no longer hit one of
the VM_WARN_ON()s there because we installed a VMA while the code
assumes the stack VMA is the first one.
It also removes a lockdep warning about mmap_sem usage since we no
longer have uml_setup_stubs() and thus no longer need to do any
manipulation that would require mmap_sem in activate_mm().

The userspace stacks mostly have a stack (and in the case of the
syscall stub we can just set their stack pointer) that points to
the location of the stub data page already.
Rework the stubs to use the stack pointer to derive the start of
the data page, rather than requiring it to be hard-coded.
In the clone stub, also integrate the int3 into the stack remap,
since we really must not use the stack while we remap it.
This prepares for putting the stub at a variable location that's
not part of the normal address space of the userspace processes
running inside the UML machine.

If the two are mixed up, then it looks as though the parent
returned an error if the child failed (before) the mmap(),
and then the resulting process never gets killed. Fix this

In some cases we can get to fix_range_common() with mmap_sem held,
and in others we get there without it being held. For example, we
get there with it held from sys_mprotect(), and without it held
from fork_handler().
Avoid any issues in this and simply defer killing the task until
it runs the next time. Do it on the mm so that another task that
shares the same mm can't continue running afterwards.

Since we're basically debugging the userspace (it runs in ptrace)
it's useful to dump out the registers - but they're not readable,
so if something goes wrong it's hard to say what. Print the names
of registers in the register dump so it's easier to look at.

Changing os_idle_sleep() to use pause() (I accidentally described
it as an empty select() in the commit log because I had changed it
from that to pause() in a later revision) exposed a race condition
in the idle code. The following can happen:
timer_settime(0, 0, {it_interval={tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=0}, it_value={tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=624017}}, NULL) = 0
...
<SIGALRM is delivered but we're already on the way to idle>
pause()
and we now hang forever. This was previously possible as well, but
it could never cause UML to hang for more than a second since we
could only sleep for that much, so at most you'd notice a "hiccup"
in the UML. Obviously, any sort of external interrupt also "saves"
it and interrupts pause().
Fix this by properly handling the race, rather than papering over
it again:
- first, block SIGALRM, and obtain the old signal set
- check the timer
- suspend, waiting for any signal out of the old set, if, and only
if, the timer will fire in the future
- restore the old signal mask
This ensures race-free operation: as it's blocked, the signal won't
be delivered while we're looking at the timer even if it were to be
triggered right _after_ we've returned from timer_gettime() with a
non-zero value (telling us the timer will trigger). Thus, despite
getting to sigsuspend() because timer_gettime() told us we're still
waiting, we'll not hang because sigsuspend() will return immediately
due to the pending signal.

This reverts commit ef4459a6da09 ("um: allocate a guard page to
helper threads"), it's broken in multiple ways:
1) the free no longer matches the alloc; and
2) more importantly, the set_memory_ro() causes allocation of
page tables for the normal memory that doesn't have any,
and that later causes corruption and crashes (usually but
not always in vfree()).
We could fix the first bug and use vmalloc() to work around the
second, but set_memory_ro() actually doesn't do anything either
so I'll just revert that as well.

If the sigio workaround needed to be applied to a file descriptor,
set_irq_wake() wouldn't work for it since it would get polled by
the thread instead of causing SIGIO, and thus could never really
cause a wakeup, since the thread notification FD wasn't marked as
being able to wake up the system.
Fix this by marking the thread's notification FD explicitly as a
wake source FD, i.e. not suppressing SIGIO for it in suspend. In
order to not cause spurious wakeups, we then need to remove all
FDs that shouldn't wake up the system from the polling thread. In
order to do this, add unlocked versions of ignore_sigio_fd() and
add_sigio_fd() (nothing else is happening in suspend, so this is
fine), and also modify ignore_sigio_fd() to return -ENOENT if the
FD wasn't originally in there. This doesn't matter because nothing
else currently checks the return value, but the irq code needs to
know which ones to restore the workaround for.
All told, this lets us use a timerfd for the RTC clock in the next
patch, which doesn't send SIGIO.

We've been running into stack overflows in helper threads
corrupting memory (e.g. because somebody put printf() or
os_info() there), so to avoid those causing hard-to-debug
issues later on, allocate a guard page for helper thread
stacks and mark it read-only.
Unfortunately, the crash dump at that point is useless as
the stack tracer will try to backtrace the *kernel* thread,
not the helper thread, but at least we don't survive to a
random issue caused by corruption.

With all the previous bits in place, we can now also support
suspend to RAM, in the sense that everything is suspended,
not just most, including userspace, processes like in s2idle.
Since um_idle_sleep() now waits forever, we can simply call
that to "suspend" the system.
As before, you can wake it up using SIGUSR1 since we're just
in a pause() call that only needs to return.
In order to implement selective resume from certain devices,
and not have any arbitrary device interrupt wake up, suspend
interrupts by removing SIGIO notification (O_ASYNC) from all
the FDs that are not supposed to wake up the system. However,
swap out the handler so we don't actually handle the SIGIO as
an interrupt.
Since we're in pause(), the mere act of receiving SIGIO wakes
us up, and then after things have been restored enough, re-set
O_ASYNC for all previously suspended FDs, reinstall the proper
SIGIO handler, and send SIGIO to self to process anything that
might now be pending.

There really is no reason to pass the amount of time we should
sleep, especially since it's just hard-coded to one second.
Additionally, one second isn't really all that long, and as we
are expecting to be woken up by a signal, we can sleep longer
and avoid doing some work every second, so replace the current
clock_nanosleep() with just an empty select() that can _only_
be woken up by a signal.
We can also remove the deliver_alarm() since we don't need to
do that when we got e.g. SIGIO that woke us up, and if we got
SIGALRM the signal handler will actually (have) run, so it's
just unnecessary extra work.
Similarly, in time-travel mode, just program the wakeup event
from idle to be S64_MAX, which is basically the most you could
ever simulate to. Of course, you should already have an event
in the list that's earlier and will cause a wakeup, normally
that's the regular timer interrupt, though in suspend it may
(later) also be an RTC event. Since actually getting to this
point would be a bug and you can't ever get out again, panic()
on it in the time control code.

We don't actually use this in um_request_irq(), so it can
never be assigned. It's also not clear what that would be
useful for, so just remove it.
This results in quite a number of cleanups, all the way to
removing the "SIGIO on close" startup check, since the data
it assigns (pty_close_sigio) is not used anymore.
While at it, also make this an enum so we get a minimum of
type checking, and remove the IRQ_NONE hack in virtio since
we now no longer have the name twice.

The ubd code suffers from a possible y2038 overflow on 32-bit
architectures, both for the cow header and the os_file_modtime()
function.
Replace time_t with time64_t to extend the ubd_kern side as much
as possible.
Whether this makes a difference for the user side depends on
the host libc implementation that may use either 32-bit or 64-bit
time_t.
For the cow file format, the header contains an unsigned 32-bit
timestamp, which is good until y2106, passing this through a
'long long' gives us a consistent interpretation between 32-bit
and 64-bit um kernels.

In the main() code, we eventually enable signals just before
exec() or exit(), in order to to not have signals pending and
delivered *after* the exec().
I've observed SIGSEGV loops at this point, and the reason seems
to be the irqflags tracing; this makes sense as the kernel is
no longer really functional at this point. Since there's really
no reason to use unblock_signals_trace() here (I had just done
a global search & replace), use the plain unblock_signals() in
this case to avoid going into the no longer functional kernel.

Reverts commit b6024b21fec8367ef961a771cc9dde31f1831965 and
adjusts default stack sizing to cope with larger size of
floating point save registers on the newer Intel CPUs.
b6024b21fec8367ef961a771cc9dde31f1831965 replaced storing the
register state on the stack with kmalloc-ed storage. That has
a number of issues and a panic if that fails.
1. kmalloc/ATOMIC can fail. There was a latent hard crash
in all interrupt and fault handling as a result.
2. kmalloc in the interrupt path introduces a considerable
performance penalty for networking ~ 14% on iperf.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The intention is to return negative error codes. "pid" is already
negative but we accidentally negate it again back to positive.
