<title>um: Rely on PTRACE_SETREGSET to set FS/GS base registers</title>

These registers are saved/restored together with the other general
registers using ptrace. In arch_set_tls we then just need to set the
register and it will be synced back normally.

Most of this logic was introduced in commit f355559cf7845 ("[PATCH] uml:
x86_64 thread fixes"). However, at least today we can rely on ptrace to
restore the base registers for us. As such, only the part of the patch
that tracks the FS register for use as thread local storage is actually
needed.

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

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.

UML generally does not provide access to special CPU instructions like
RDRAND, and execution tends to be rather deterministic, with no real
hardware interrupts, making good randomness really very hard, if not
all together impossible. Not only is this a security eyebrow raiser, but
it's also quite annoying when trying to do various pieces of UML-based
automation that takes a long time to boot, if ever.

Fix this by trivially calling getrandom() in the host and using that
seed as "bootloader randomness", which initializes the rng immediately
at UML boot.

The old behavior can be restored the same way as on any other arch, by
way of CONFIG_TRUST_BOOTLOADER_RANDOMNESS=n or
random.trust_bootloader=0. So seen from that perspective, this just
makes UML act like other archs, which is positive in its own right.

Additionally, wire up arch_get_random_{int,long}() in the same way, so
that reseeds can also make use of the host RNG, controllable by
CONFIG_TRUST_CPU_RANDOMNESS and random.trust_cpu, per usual.
