Since commit a95b37e20db9 ("kbuild: get &lt;linux/compiler_types.h&gt; out of
&lt;linux/kconfig.h&gt;") we can safely include these files in userspace code.
Doing so simplifies matters as options do not need to be exported via
asm-offsets.h anymore.

Using clone will not undo features that have been enabled by libc. An
example of this already happening is rseq, which could cause the kernel
to read/write memory of the userspace process. In the future the
standard library might also use mseal by default to protect itself,
which would also thwart our attempts at unmapping everything.

Solve all this by taking a step back and doing an execve into a tiny
static binary that sets up the minimal environment required for the
stub without using any standard library. That way we have a clean
execution environment that is fully under the control of UML.

Note that this changes things a bit as the FDs are not anymore shared
with the kernel. Instead, we explicitly share the FDs for the physical
memory and all existing iomem regions. Doing this is fine, as iomem
regions cannot be added at runtime.

Set Makefile SHELL to bash instead of /bin/bash for better portability.

Some systems do not install binaries to /bin, and therefore do not
provide /bin/bash. This includes Linux distros which intentionally avoid
implementing the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), such as NixOS and
Guix System.

The recipies inside arch/um/Makefile don't require top-level Bash to
build, and setting "SHELL" to "bash" makes Make pick the Bash executable
from the environment, hence this patch.

Changes since last roll:
- Rebase onto a more recent commit on the master branch.
- Remove a dangling in-text citation from the change log.
- Reword the change log.

<title>um: Fix adding '-no-pie' for clang</title>

<id>846cfbeed09b45d985079a9173cf390cc053715b</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel builds with -fno-PIE, so commit 883354afbc10 ("um: link
vmlinux with -no-pie") added the compiler linker flag '-no-pie' via
cc-option because '-no-pie' was only supported in GCC 6.1.0 and newer.

While this works for GCC, this does not work for clang because cc-option
uses '-c', which stops the pipeline right before linking, so '-no-pie'
is unconsumed and clang warns, causing cc-option to fail just as it
would if the option was entirely unsupported:

  $ clang -Werror -no-pie -c -o /dev/null -x c /dev/null
  clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-no-pie' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

A recent version of clang exposes this because it generates a relocation
under '-mcmodel=large' that is not supported in PIE mode:

  /usr/sbin/ld: init/main.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against symbol `saved_command_line' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE
  /usr/sbin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: bad value
  clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Remove the cc-option check altogether. It is wasteful to invoke the
compiler to check for '-no-pie' because only one supported compiler
version does not support it, GCC 5.x (as it is supported with the
minimum version of clang and GCC 6.1.0+). Use a combination of the
gcc-min-version macro and CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG to unconditionally add
'-no-pie' with CONFIG_LD_SCRIPT_DYN=y, so that it is enabled with all
compilers that support this. Furthermore, using gcc-min-version can help
turn this back into

  LINK-$(CONFIG_LD_SCRIPT_DYN) += -no-pie

when the minimum version of GCC is bumped past 6.1.0.

When HEADER_ARCH was introduced, the MRPROPER_FILES (then MRPROPER_DIRS)
list wasn't adjusted, leaving SUBARCH as part of the path argument.
This resulted in the "mrproper" target not cleaning up arch/x86/... when
SUBARCH was specified. Since HOST_DIR is arch/$(HEADER_ARCH), use it
instead to get the correct path.
