This selects the THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK option for UM and changes the way
that the current task is discovered. This is trivial though, as UML
already tracks the current task in cpu_tasks[] and this can be used to
retrieve it.

Also remove the signal handler code that copies the thread information
into the IRQ stack. It is obsolete now, which also means that the
mentioned race condition cannot happen anymore.

<title>um: remove auxiliary FP registers</title>

We do not need the extra save/restore of the FP registers when getting
the fault information. This was originally added in commit 2f56debd77a8
("uml: fix FP register corruption") but at that time the code was not
saving/restoring the FP registers when switching to userspace. This was
fixed in commit fbfe9c847edf ("um: Save FPU registers between task
switches") and since then the auxiliary registers have not been useful.

<title>ptrace/um: Replace PT_DTRACE with TIF_SINGLESTEP</title>

<content type='text'>
User mode linux is the last user of the PT_DTRACE flag.  Using the flag to indicate
single stepping is a little confusing and worse changing tsk-&gt;ptrace without locking
could potentionally cause problems.

So use a thread info flag with a better name instead of flag in tsk-&gt;ptrace.

Remove the definition PT_DTRACE as uml is the last user.

Remove address space overrides using set_fs() for User Mode Linux.
Note that just like the existing kernel access case of the uaccess
routines the new nofault kernel handlers do not actually have any
exception handling.  This is probably broken, but not change to the
status quo.

<title>Construct init thread stack in the linker script rather than by union</title>

<content type='text'>
Construct the init thread stack in the linker script rather than doing it
by means of a union so that ia64's init_task.c can be got rid of.

The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker
script macro:

	init_thread_union
	init_stack

INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the
size of the init stack.  init_thread_union is given its own section so that
it can be placed into the stack space in the right order.  I'm assuming
that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the
thread_info second.

This brings SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT and SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER support through
prctl(2) and seccomp(2) to User-mode Linux for i386 and x86_64
subarchitectures.

secure_computing() is called first in handle_syscall() so that the
syscall emulation will be aborted quickly if matching a seccomp rule.

This is inspired from Meredydd Luff's patch
(https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/21425).
