commit aa5fb4dbfd121296ca97c68cf90043a7ea97579d upstream.

With glibc 2.11 or later that was built with --enable-multi-arch, the UML
link fails with undefined references to __rel_iplt_start and similar
symbols.  In recent binutils, the default linker script defines these
symbols (see ld --verbose).  Fix the UML linker scripts to match the new
defaults for these sections.

<title>um: remove PAGE_SIZE alignment in linker script causing kernel segfault.</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 6915e04f8847bea16d0890f559694ad8eedd026c upstream.

The linker script cleanup that I did in commit 5d150a97f93 ("um: Clean up
linker script using standard macros.") (2.6.32) accidentally introduced an
ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE) when converting to use INIT_TEXT_SECTION; Richard
Weinberger reported that this causes the kernel to segfault with
CONFIG_STATIC_LINK=y.

I'm not certain why this extra alignment is a problem, but it seems likely
it is because previously

__init_begin = _stext = _text = _sinittext

and with the extra ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE), _sinittext becomes different from the
rest.  So there is likely a bug here where something is assuming that
_sinittext is the same as one of those other symbols.  But reverting the
accidental change fixes the regression, so it seems worth committing that
now.

Convert code away from -&gt;read_proc/-&gt;write_proc interfaces.  Switch to
proc_create()/proc_create_data() which make addition of proc entries
reliable wrt NULL -&gt;proc_fops, NULL -&gt;data and so on.

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current,
it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k!
Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this.
