The reverse case of this race (you must msync before read) is
well known. This is the not so common one.

It can be triggered only on systems which do a lot of task
switching and only at UML startup. If you are starting 200+ UMLs
~ 0.5% will always die without this fix.

arch_align_stack() moved to asm/exec.h, so change the comment referring to
asm/system.h which no longer exists.

Pull UML changes from Richard Weinberger:
 "This pile contains a nice defconfig cleanup, a rewritten stack
  unwinder and various cleanups"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/uml:
  um: Remove unused declarations from &lt;as-layout.h&gt;
  um: remove used STDIO_CONSOLE Kconfig param
  um/vdso: add .gitignore for a couple of targets
  arch/um: make it work with defconfig and x86_64
  um: Make kstack_depth_to_print conform to arch/x86
  um: Get rid of thread_struct-&gt;saved_task
  um: Make stack trace reliable against kernel mode faults
  um: Rewrite show_stack()

As we have a sane show_stack() now, we can drop
the -&gt;saved_task hack.

As UML uses an alternative signal stack we cannot use
the current stack pointer for stack dumping if UML itself
dies by SIGSEGV. To bypass this issue we save regs taken
from mcontext in our segv handler into thread_struct and
use these regs to obtain the stack pointer in show_stack().

Currently on UML stack traces are not very reliable and both
x86 and x86_64 have their on implementations.
This patch unifies both and adds support to outline unreliable
functions calls.
