[ Upstream commit df447a3b4a4b961c9979b4b3ffb74317394b9b40 ]

When copying FDs, the copy size should not include the control
message header (cmsghdr). Fix it.

[ Upstream commit 7ebf70cf181651fe3f2e44e95e7e5073d594c9c0 ]

When register_virtio_device() fails in virtio_uml_probe(),
the code sets vu_dev-&gt;registered = 1 even though
the device was not successfully registered.
This can lead to use-after-free or other issues.

The thread flags may change during their processing.
For example a task_work can queue a new signal to be sent.
This signal should be delivered before returning to usespace again.

Evaluate the flags repeatedly similar to other architectures.

[ Upstream commit 4c916e3b224a02019b3cc3983a15f32bfd9a22df ]

Remove the declaration of 'err' inside the 'if (timetravel)' block,
as it would otherwise be unavailable outside that block, potentially
leading to uml_rtc_start() returning an uninitialized value.

literal may result in excessive stack usage. Fix it by initializing the
required fields of *vp individually.

<content type='text'>
Make pte_swp_exclusive return bool instead of int.  This will better
reflect how pte_swp_exclusive is actually used in the code.

This fixes swap/swapoff problems on Alpha due pte_swp_exclusive not
returning correct values when _PAGE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE bit resides in upper
32-bits of PTE (like on alpha).
