Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for
them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER).
This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs
in kernel mode to use this functionality.

The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test
because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly
differently than user space tasks that start with a function.

The functions that created tasks that start with a function
have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of
".stack" and ".stack_size".  These functions are fork_idle(),
create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread().

With io_uring we have started supporting tasks that are for most
purposes user space tasks that exclusively run code in kernel mode.

The kernel task that exec's init and tasks that exec user mode
helpers are also user mode tasks that just run kernel code
until they call kernel execve.

Pass kernel_clone_args into copy_thread so these oddball
tasks can be supported more cleanly and easily.

<title>ARM: implement THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK for uniprocessor systems</title>

<content type='text'>
On UP systems, only a single task can be 'current' at the same time,
which means we can use a global variable to track it. This means we can
also enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK for those systems, as in that case,
thread_info is accessed via current rather than the other way around,
removing the need to store thread_info at the base of the task stack.
This, in turn, permits us to enable IRQ stacks and vmap'ed stacks on UP
systems as well.

To partially mitigate the performance overhead of this arrangement, use
a ADD/ADD/LDR sequence with the appropriate PC-relative group
relocations to load the value of current when needed. This means that
accessing current will still only require a single load as before,
avoiding the need for a literal to carry the address of the global
variable in each function. However, accessing thread_info will now
require this load as well.

<title>ARM: smp: Store current pointer in TPIDRURO register if available</title>

Now that the user space TLS register is assigned on every return to user
space, we can use it to keep the 'current' pointer while running in the
kernel. This removes the need to access it via thread_info, which is
located at the base of the stack, but will be moved out of there in a
subsequent patch.

Use the __builtin_thread_pointer() helper when available - this will
help GCC understand that reloading the value within the same function is
not necessary, even when using the per-task stack protector (which also
generates accesses via the TLS register). For example, the generated
code below loads TPIDRURO only once, and uses it to access both the
stack canary and the preempt_count fields.

&lt;do_one_initcall&gt;:
       e92d 41f0       stmdb   sp!, {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, lr}
       ee1d 4f70       mrc     15, 0, r4, cr13, cr0, {3}
       4606            mov     r6, r0
       b094            sub     sp, #80 ; 0x50
       f8d4 34e8       ldr.w   r3, [r4, #1256] ; 0x4e8  &lt;- stack canary
       9313            str     r3, [sp, #76]   ; 0x4c
       f8d4 8004       ldr.w   r8, [r4, #4]             &lt;- preempt count

<content type='text'>
We will be enabling THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK support for ARM, which means
that we can no longer load the stack canary value by masking the stack
pointer and taking the copy that lives in thread_info. Instead, we will
be able to load it from the task_struct directly, by using the TPIDRURO
register which will hold the current task pointer when
THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is in effect. This is much more straight-forward,
and allows us to declutter this code a bit while at it.

Note that this means that ARMv6 (non-v6K) SMP systems can no longer use
this feature, but those are quite rare to begin with, so this is a
reasonable trade off.

Pull ARM development updates from Russell King:

 - Rename "mod_init" and "mod_exit" so that initcall debug output is
   actually useful (Randy Dunlap)

 - Update maintainers entries for linux-arm-kernel to indicate it is
   moderated for non-subscribers (Randy Dunlap)

 - Move install rules to arch/arm/Makefile (Masahiro Yamada)

 - Drop unnecessary ARCH_NR_GPIOS definition (Linus Walleij)

 - Don't warn about atags_to_fdt() stack size (David Heidelberg)

 - Speed up unaligned copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault (Arnd Bergmann)

 - Get rid of set_fs() usage (Arnd Bergmann)

 - Remove checks for GCC prior to v4.6 (Geert Uytterhoeven)

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so just remove it
along with all associated code that operates on
thread_info-&gt;addr_limit.

There are still further optimizations that can be done:

- In get_user(), the address check could be moved entirely
  into the out of line code, rather than passing a constant
  as an argument,

- I assume the DACR handling can be simplified as we now
  only change it during user access when CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN
  is set, but not during set_fs().

Delete/fixup few includes in anticipation of global -isystem compile
option removal.

Note: crypto/aegis128-neon-inner.c keeps &lt;stddef.h&gt; due to redefinition
of uintptr_t error (one definition comes from &lt;stddef.h&gt;, another from
&lt;linux/types.h&gt;).
