The most notable change is DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE macro split in
seq_file.h.

Conversion rule is:

	llseek		=&gt; proc_lseek
	unlocked_ioctl	=&gt; proc_ioctl

	xxx		=&gt; proc_xxx

	delete ".owner = THIS_MODULE" line

We currently do the time updates in the timer handler, even if
we just call the timer handler ourselves. In basic mode we must
in fact do it there since otherwise the OS timer signal won't
move time forward, but in inf-cpu mode we don't need to, and
it's harder to understand.

Restrict the update there to basic mode, adding a comment, and
do it before calling the timer_handler() in inf-cpu mode.

Periodic timers are broken, because the also only fire once.
As it happens, Linux doesn't care because it only sets the
timer to periodic very briefly during boot, and then switches
it only between one-shot and off later.

Nevertheless, fix the logic (we shouldn't even be looking at
time_travel_timer_expiry unless the timer is enabled) and
change the code to fire the timer periodically in periodic
mode, in case it ever gets used in the future.

Unfortunately, my build fix for when time travel mode isn't
enabled broke time travel mode, because I forgot that we need
to use the timer time after the timer has been marked disabled,
and thus need to leave the time stored instead of zeroing it.

Fix that by splitting the inline into two, so we can call only
the _mode() one in the relevant code path.

Sometimes it can be useful to run with "time travel" inside the
UML instance, for example for testing. For example, some tests
for the wireless subsystem and userspace are based on hwsim, a
virtual wireless adapter. Some tests can take a long time to
run because they e.g. wait for 120 seconds to elapse for some
regulatory checks. This obviously goes faster if it need not
actually wait that long, but time inside the test environment
just "bumps up" when there's nothing to do.

Add CONFIG_UML_TIME_TRAVEL_SUPPORT to enable code to support
such modes at runtime, selected on the command line:
 * just "time-travel", in which time inside the UML instance
   can move faster than real time, if there's nothing to do
 * "time-travel=inf-cpu" in which time also moves slower and
   any CPU processing takes no time at all, which allows to
   implement consistent behaviour regardless of host CPU load
   (or speed) or debug overhead.

An additional "time-travel-start=&lt;seconds&gt;" parameter is also
supported in this case to start the wall clock at this time
(in unix epoch).

With this enabled, the test mentioned above goes from a runtime
of about 140 seconds (with startup overhead and all) to being
CPU bound and finishing in 15 seconds (on my slow laptop).
