<title>um: switch to regset API and depend on XSTATE</title>

<content type='text'>
The PTRACE_GETREGSET API has now existed since Linux 2.6.33. The XSAVE
CPU feature should also be sufficiently common to be able to rely on it.

With this, define our internal FP state to be the hosts XSAVE data. Add
discovery for the hosts XSAVE size and place the FP registers at the end
of task_struct so that we can adjust the size at runtime.

Next we can implement the regset API on top and update the signal
handling as well as ptrace APIs to use them. Also switch coredump
creation to use the regset API and finally set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK.

This considerably improves the signal frames. Previously they might not
have contained all the registers (i386) and also did not have the
sizes and magic values set to the correct values to permit userspace to
decode the frame.

As a side effect, this will permit UML to run on hosts with newer CPU
extensions (such as AMX) that need even more register state.

This was perhaps intended to do _nofault copies, but the
real reason is lost to history. Remove this, it's not
needed, and using longjmp() out of the middle of the
signal handler with all the state it has modified is
not going to be a good idea anyway.

Only one extern in there is needed in processor-generic.h, and it's
not needed anywhere else.  So move it over there and get rid of
the include in processor-generic.h, adding includes of registers.h
to the few files that need the declarations in it.

Having a stable wchan means the process must be blocked and for it to
stay that way while performing stack unwinding.
