   - Christoph Hellwig adds a generic version of page_to_phys() and

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 It is obsolete now, which also means that the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.

page_to_phys is duplicated by all architectures, and from some strange
reason placed in &lt;asm/io.h&gt; where it doesn't fit at all.

phys_to_page is only provided by a few architectures despite having a lot
of open coded users.

Provide generic versions in &lt;asm-generic/memory_model.h&gt; to make these
helpers more easily usable.

Note with this patch powerpc loses the CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL pfn_valid
check.  It will be added back in a generic version later.

<title>um: switch to regset API and depend on XSTATE</title>

The PTRACE_GETREGSET API has now existed since Linux 2.6.33. The XSAVE
CPU feature should also be sufficiently common to be able to rely on it.

With this, define our internal FP state to be the hosts XSAVE data. Add
discovery for the hosts XSAVE size and place the FP registers at the end
of task_struct so that we can adjust the size at runtime.

Next we can implement the regset API on top and update the signal
handling as well as ptrace APIs to use them. Also switch coredump
creation to use the regset API and finally set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK.

This considerably improves the signal frames. Previously they might not
have contained all the registers (i386) and also did not have the
sizes and magic values set to the correct values to permit userspace to
decode the frame.

As a side effect, this will permit UML to run on hosts with newer CPU
extensions (such as AMX) that need even more register state.

When a PTE is updated in the page table, the _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit will
always be set. And the corresponding page will always be mapped or
unmapped depending on whether the PTE is present or not. The check
on the _PAGE_NEWPROT bit is not really reachable. Abandoning it will
allow us to simplify the code and remove the unreachable code.

This was perhaps intended to do _nofault copies, but the
real reason is lost to history. Remove this, it's not
needed, and using longjmp() out of the middle of the

not going to be a good idea anyway.
