Pull exec domain removal from Richard Weinberger:
 "This series removes execution domain support from Linux.

  The idea behind exec domains was to support different ABIs.  The
  feature was never complete nor stable.  Let's rip it out and make the
  kernel signal handling code less complicated"

<content type='text'>
atomic_notifier_chain_register() and uml_postsetup() do call kernel code
that rely on the "current" kernel macro and a valid task_struct resp.
thread_info struct. Give those functions a valid stack by moving
uml_postsetup() in the init_thread stack. This moves enables a panic()
call in this early code to generate a valid stacktrace, instead of
crashing.
E.g. when an UML kernel is started with an initrd but too few physical
memory the panic() call get's actually processed.

Add a kmsg_dumper, that dumps the kmsg buffer to stdout, when no console
is available. This an enables the printing of early panic() calls
triggered in uml_postsetup().
When a panic() call happens so early in the UML kernel no
earlyprintk/console is available yet, but with a kmsg_dumper in place
the kernel message buffer will be outputted to the user, to give a
better hint, of what the failure was.

Highmem was always buggy and experimental on UML(i386).
In times where 64 bit computers are default we can

At times where UML used the TT mode to operate it had
kind of SMP support. It never got finished nor was
stable.
Let's rip out that cruft and stop confusing developers
which do tree-wide SMP cleanups.

If someone wants SMP support UML it has do be done from scratch.

Before we had SKAS0 UML had two modes of operation
TT (tracing thread) and SKAS3/4 (separated kernel address space).
TT was known to be insecure and got removed a long time ago.
SKAS3/4 required a few (3 or 4) patches on the host side which never went
mainline. The last host patch is 10 years old.

With SKAS0 mode (separated kernel address space using 0 host patches),
default since 2005, SKAS3/4 is obsolete and can be removed.
