These legacy network transports were marked as obsolete in commit
40814b98a570 ("um: Mark non-vector net transports as obsolete").
More than five years have passed since then. Remove these network
transports to reduce the maintenance burden.

The ARCH=um build has its own idea about strscpy()'s definition. Adjust
the callers to remove the redundant sizeof() arguments ahead of treewide
changes, since it needs a manual adjustment for the newly named
sized_strscpy() export.

<title>um,ethertap: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()</title>

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

`gate_buf` should always be NUL-terminated and does not require
NUL-padding. It is used as a string arg inside an argv array given to
`run_helper()`. Due to this, let's use `strscpy` as it guarantees
NUL-terminated on the destination buffer preventing potential buffer
overreads [2].

This exact invocation was changed from `strcpy` to `strncpy` in commit
7879b1d94badb ("um,ethertap: use strncpy") back in 2015. Let's continue
hardening our `str*cpy` apis and use the newer and safer `strscpy`!

Reintroduce uml_kmalloc for the benefit of UML libc code.  The
previous tactic of declaring __kmalloc so it could be called directly
from the libc side of the house turned out to be getting too intimate
with slab, and it doesn't work with slob.

So, the uml_kmalloc wrapper is back.  It calls kmalloc or whatever
that translates into, and libc code calls it.

kfree is left alone since that still works, leaving a somewhat
inconsistent API.

Style fixes to arch/um/os/helper.c and tidying up the breakpoint fix a
bit.

helper.c gets all the usual style fixes -
	 updated copyright
	 all printks get severities

Also -
	 errval changes to err in helper_child
	 fixed an obsolete comment
	 run_helper was killing a child process which is guaranteed to
be dead or dying anyway

Removed the nohang and pname arguments from helper_wait and fixed the
declaration and callers.  nohang was used only in the slirp driver and
I don't think it was needed.  I think pname was a bit of overkill in
putting out an error message when something goes wrong.

<title>uml: stop gdb from deleting breakpoints when running UML</title>

<content type='text'>
Sometimes when UML is debugged gdb miss breakpoints.

When process traced by gdb do fork, debugger remove breakpoints from
child address space. There is possibility to trace more than one fork,
but this not work with UML, I guess (only guess) there is a deadlock -
gdb waits for UML and UML waits for gdb.

When clone() is called with SIGCHLD and CLONE_VM flags, gdb see this
as PTRACE_EVENT_FORK not as PTRACE_EVENT_CLONE and remove breakpoints
from child and at the same time from traced process, because either
have the same address space.

Maybe it is possible to do fix in gdb, but I'm not sure if there is
easy way to find out if traced and child processes share memory. So I
do fix for UML, it simply do not call clone() with both SIGCHLD and
CLONE_VM flags together.  Additionally __WALL flag is used for
waitpid() to assure not miss clone and normal process events.
