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

PF_IO_WORKER are kernel threads too, but they aren't PF_KTHREAD in the
sense that we don't assign -&gt;set_child_tid with our own structure. Just
ensure that every arch sets up the PF_IO_WORKER threads like kthreads
in the arch implementation of copy_thread().

<content type='text'>
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.

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.

<title>um: Support suspend to RAM</title>

<id>a374b7cb1ea648a27ceaa2dea19aa967725e938b</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>um: Simplify os_idle_sleep() and sleep longer</title>

<id>49da38a3ef330b7a1643e12c51913d58158e5abe</id>
<content type='text'>
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 call arch_cpu_idle() with RCU disabled, but then use
local_irq_{en,dis}able(), which invokes tracing, which relies on RCU.

Switch all arch_cpu_idle() implementations to use
raw_local_irq_{en,dis}able() and carefully manage the
lockdep,rcu,tracing state like we do in entry.
