asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

UML should not be using the architecture native runtime constants, since
that requires also having the appropriate instruction fixups (and all
the linker script details).

Not that using that code would be impossible, but it's not worth it.
Just point UML at the generic version.

If we start validating the existence of the asm-generic side of
generated headers, this one causes a warning:

make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/um/include/generated/asm/bpf_perf_event.h', needed by 'all'.  Stop.

The problem is that the asm-generic header only exists for the uapi
variant, but arch/um has no uapi headers and instead uses the x86
userspace API.

Add a custom file with an explicit redirect to avoid this.

Conceptually, we want the memory mappings to always be up to date and
represent whatever is in the TLB. To ensure that, we need to sync them
over in the userspace case and for the kernel we need to process the
mappings.

The kernel will call flush_tlb_* if page table entries that were valid
before become invalid. Unfortunately, this is not the case if entries
are added.

As such, change both flush_tlb_* and set_ptes to track the memory range
that has to be synchronized. For the kernel, we need to execute a
flush_tlb_kern_* immediately but we can wait for the first page fault in
case of set_ptes. For userspace in contrast we only store that a range
of memory needs to be synced and do so whenever we switch to that
process.

<content type='text'>
The current LDT code has a few issues that mean it should be redone in a
different way once we always start with a fresh MM even when cloning.

In a new and better world, the kernel would just ensure its own LDT is
clear at startup. At that point, all that is needed is a simple function
to populate the LDT from another MM in arch_dup_mmap combined with some
tracking of the installed LDT entries for each MM.

Note that the old implementation was even incorrect with regard to
reading, as it copied out the LDT entries in the internal format rather
than converting them to the userspace structure.

Removal should be fine as the LDT is not used for thread-local storage
anymore.
