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 It is obsolete now, which also means that the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: Discover host_task_size from envp</title>

When loading the UML binary, the host kernel will place the stack at the
highest possible address. It will then map the program name and
environment variables onto the start of the stack.

As such, an easy way to figure out the host_task_size is to use the
highest pointer to an environment variable as a reference.

Ensure that this works by disabling address layout randomization and
re-executing UML in case it was enabled.

This increases the available TASK_SIZE for 64 bit UML considerably.

Currently physmem_size is defined as long long but declared locally
as unsigned long long before using it in separate .c files. Make them
match by defining physmem_size as unsigned long long and also move
the declaration to a common header to allow the compiler to check it.

Highmem was only supported on UML/i386. And the support has been
removed by commit a98a6d864d3b ("um: Remove broken highmem support").
Remove the leftovers and stop UML from trying to setup highmem when
the sum of physmem_size and iomem_size exceeds max_physmem.

When we switch to use seccomp, we need both the signal stack and other
data (i.e. syscall information) to co-exist in the stub data. To
facilitate this, start by defining separate memory areas for the stack
and syscall data.

This moves the signal stack onto a new page as the memory area is not
sufficient to hold both signal stack and syscall information.

Only change the signal stack setup for now, as the syscall code will be
reworked later.

There's a lot of code here that hard-codes that the
data is a single page, and right now that seems to
be sufficient, but to make it easier to change this
in the future, add a new STUB_DATA_PAGES constant
and use it throughout the code.

This mostly reverts the old commit 3963333fe676 ("uml: cover stubs
with a VMA") which had added a VMA to the existing PTEs. However,
there's no real reason to have the PTEs in the first place and the
VMA cannot be 'fixed' in place, which leads to bugs that userspace
could try to unmap them and be forcefully killed, or such. Also,
there's a bit of an ugly hole in userspace's address space.

Simplify all this: just install the stub code/page at the top of
the (inner) address space, i.e. put it just above TASK_SIZE. The
pages are simply hard-coded to be mapped in the userspace process
we use to implement an mm context, and they're out of reach of the
inner mmap/munmap/mprotect etc. since they're above TASK_SIZE.

Getting rid of the VMA also makes vma_merge() no longer hit one of
the VM_WARN_ON()s there because we installed a VMA while the code
assumes the stack VMA is the first one.

It also removes a lockdep warning about mmap_sem usage since we no
longer have uml_setup_stubs() and thus no longer need to do any
manipulation that would require mmap_sem in activate_mm().

The userspace stacks mostly have a stack (and in the case of the
syscall stub we can just set their stack pointer) that points to
the location of the stub data page already.

Rework the stubs to use the stack pointer to derive the start of
the data page, rather than requiring it to be hard-coded.

In the clone stub, also integrate the int3 into the stack remap,
since we really must not use the stack while we remap it.

This prepares for putting the stub at a variable location that's
not part of the normal address space of the userspace processes
running inside the UML machine.
