ptrace/um: Replace PT_DTRACE with TIF_SINGLESTEP

User mode linux is the last user of the PT_DTRACE flag. Using the flag to indicate
single stepping is a little confusing and worse changing tsk->ptrace without locking
could potentionally cause problems.

So use a thread info flag with a better name instead of flag in tsk->ptrace.

Remove the definition PT_DTRACE as uml is the last user.

um: remove set_fs

Remove address space overrides using set_fs() for User Mode Linux.
Note that just like the existing kernel access case of the uaccess
routines the new nofault kernel handlers do not actually have any
exception handling. This is probably broken, but not change to the
status quo.

# 0500871f 02-Jan-2018 David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Construct init thread stack in the linker script rather than by union

Construct the init thread stack in the linker script rather than doing it
by means of a union so that ia64's init_task.c can be got rid of.

The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker
script macro:

init_thread_union
init_stack

INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the
size of the init stack. init_thread_union is given its own section so that
it can be placed into the stack space in the right order. I'm assuming
that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the
thread_info second.

# c50b4659 29-Dec-2015 Mickaël Salaün <mic@digikod.net>

um: Add seccomp support

This brings SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT and SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER support through
prctl(2) and seccomp(2) to User-mode Linux for i386 and x86_64
subarchitectures.

secure_computing() is called first in handle_syscall() so that the
syscall emulation will be aborted quickly if matching a seccomp rule.

This is inspired from Meredydd Luff's patch
(https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/21425).

# f56141e3 12-Feb-2015 Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net>

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

sanitize tsk_is_polling()

Make default just return 0. The current default (checking
TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it;
ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need
to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all.

ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling())
and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all). Killed the latter...

sched: INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT

Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single
definition site.

Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look,
your arch code is funny.

The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS
one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the
INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in
arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included
sched.h so we're good.
