We have to exclude memory locations &lt;= PAGE_SIZE from
the condition and let the kernel mode fault path catch it.
Otherwise a kernel NULL pointer exception will be reported
as a kernel user space access.

Fixes: d2313084e2c (um: Catch unprotected user memory access)

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Rather large, but nothing exiting:

   - new range check for settimeofday() to prevent that boot time
     becomes negative.
   - fix for file time rounding
   - a few simplifications of the hrtimer code
   - fix for the proc/timerlist code so the output of clock realtime
     timers is accurate
   - more y2038 work
   - tree wide conversion of clockevent drivers to the new callbacks"

Migrate um driver to the new 'set-state' interface provided by
clockevents core, the earlier 'set-mode' interface is marked obsolete
now.

This also enables us to implement callbacks for new states of clockevent
devices, for example: ONESHOT_STOPPED.

<title>um: Fix do_signal() prototype</title>

<content type='text'>
Once x86 exports its do_signal(), the prototypes will clash.

Fix the clash and also improve the code a bit: remove the
unnecessary kern_do_signal() indirection. This allows
interrupt_end() to share the 'regs' parameter calculation.

Also remove the unused return code to match x86.

Minimally build and boot tested.

Don't include ptrace uapi stuff in arch headers, it will
pollute the kernel namespace and conflict with existing
stuff.
In this case it fixes clashes with common names like R8.

If the kernel tries to access user memory without copy_from_user()
a trap will happen as kernel and userspace run in different processes
on the host side. Currently this special page fault cannot be resolved
and will happen over and over again. As result UML will lockup.
This patch allows the page fault code to detect that situation and
causes a panic() such that the root cause of the unprotected memory
access can be found and fixed.
