Commit db2f24dc240856fb1d78005307f1523b7b3c121b
was plain wrong. I did not realize the we are
allowed to loop here.
In fact we have to loop and must not return to userspace
before all SIGSEGVs have been delivered.
Other archs do this directly in their entry code, UML
does it here.

<title>um: Add seccomp support</title>

This brings SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT and SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER support through
prctl(2) and seccomp(2) to User-mode Linux for i386 and x86_64
subarchitectures.

secure_computing() is called first in handle_syscall() so that the
syscall emulation will be aborted quickly if matching a seccomp rule.

This is inspired from Meredydd Luff's patch
(https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/21425).

<content type='text'>
This fix two related bugs:
* PTRACE_GETREGS doesn't get the right orig_ax (syscall) value
* PTRACE_SETREGS can't set the orig_ax value (erased by initial value)

Get rid of the now useless and error-prone get_syscall().

Fix inconsistent behavior in the ptrace implementation for i386 when
updating orig_eax automatically update the syscall number as well. This
is now updated in handle_syscall().

If get_signal() returns us a signal to post
we must not call it again, otherwise the already
posted signal will be overridden.
Before commit a610d6e672d this was the case as we stopped
the while after a successful handle_signal().

<id>2eb5f31bc4ea24bb293e82934cfa1cce9573304b</id>
<content type='text'>
UML is using an obsolete itimer call for
all timers and "polls" for kernel space timer firing
in its userspace portion resulting in a long list
of bugs and incorrect behaviour(s). It also uses
ITIMER_VIRTUAL for its timer which results in the
timer being dependent on it running and the cpu
load.

This patch fixes this by moving to posix high resolution
timers firing off CLOCK_MONOTONIC and relaying the timer
correctly to the UML userspace.

Fixes:
 - crashes when hosts suspends/resumes
 - broken userspace timers - effecive ~40Hz instead
   of what they should be. Note - this modifies skas behavior
   by no longer setting an itimer per clone(). Timer events
   are relayed instead.
 - kernel network packet scheduling disciplines
 - tcp behaviour especially under load
 - various timer related corner cases

Finally, overall responsiveness of userspace is better.
