<content type='text'>
Unfortunately, my build fix for when time travel mode isn't
enabled broke time travel mode, because I forgot that we need
to use the timer time after the timer has been marked disabled,
and thus need to leave the time stored instead of zeroing it.

Fix that by splitting the inline into two, so we can call only
the _mode() one in the relevant code path.

um allocates PTE pages with __get_free_page() and uses
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO for the allocations.

Switch it to the generic version that does exactly the same thing for the
kernel page tables and adds __GFP_ACCOUNT for the user PTEs.

The pte_free() and pte_free_kernel() versions are identical to the generic
ones and can be simply dropped.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

Sometimes it can be useful to run with "time travel" inside the
UML instance, for example for testing. For example, some tests
for the wireless subsystem and userspace are based on hwsim, a
virtual wireless adapter. Some tests can take a long time to
run because they e.g. wait for 120 seconds to elapse for some
regulatory checks. This obviously goes faster if it need not
actually wait that long, but time inside the test environment
just "bumps up" when there's nothing to do.

Add CONFIG_UML_TIME_TRAVEL_SUPPORT to enable code to support
such modes at runtime, selected on the command line:
 * just "time-travel", in which time inside the UML instance
   can move faster than real time, if there's nothing to do
 * "time-travel=inf-cpu" in which time also moves slower and
   any CPU processing takes no time at all, which allows to
   implement consistent behaviour regardless of host CPU load
   (or speed) or debug overhead.

An additional "time-travel-start=&lt;seconds&gt;" parameter is also
supported in this case to start the wall clock at this time
(in unix epoch).

With this enabled, the test mentioned above goes from a runtime
of about 140 seconds (with startup overhead and all) to being
CPU bound and finishing in 15 seconds (on my slow laptop).

My previous commit didn't actually address the whole issue with
lockdep shutdown, I had another local modification that disabled
lockdep but that wasn't sufficient alone, so had to do the other
change.

Another issue remained though - during kfree() we acquire locks
and lockdep tries to annotate those with exactly the same issue
in the other patch - we no longer have "current".

So, just remove the garbage collection. There's no value in it
anyway since we're going to shut down anyway and marking a slab
object as free is now not very useful anymore.

So, just remove the garbage collection. There's no value in it
anyway since we're going to shut down anyway and marking a slab
object as free is now not very useful anymore.

Not only does the locking contradict the comment, and as
the comment says is pointless and actually harmful (all
the actual OS threads have exited already), but it also
causes crashes when lockdep is enabled, because calling
into the spinlock calls into lockdep, which then tries
to determine the current task, which no longer exists.

Remove the locking to let UML shut down cleanly in case
lockdep is enabled.
