UML was panicing in the case of failures of libc calls which shouldn't happen.
This is an overreaction since a failure from libc doesn't normally mean that
kernel data structures are in an unknown state. Instead, the current process
should just be killed if there is no way to recover.
The case that prompted this was a failure of PTRACE_SETREGS restoring the same
state that was read by PTRACE_GETREGS. It appears that when a process tries
to load a bogus value into a segment register, it segfaults (as expected) and
the value is actually loaded and is seen by PTRACE_GETREGS (not expected).
This case is fixed by forcing a fatal SIGSEGV on the process so that it
immediately dies. fatal_sigsegv was added for this purpose. It was declared
as noreturn, so in order to pursuade gcc that it actually does not return, I
added a call to os_dump_core (and declared it noreturn) so that I get a core
file if somehow the process survives.
All other calls in arch/um/os-Linux/skas/process.c got the same treatment,
with failures causing the process to die instead of a kernel panic, with some
exceptions.
userspace_tramp exits with status 1 if anything goes wrong there. That will
cause start_userspace to return an error. copy_context_skas0 and
map_stub_pages also now return errors instead of panicing. Callers of thes
functions were changed to check for errors and do something appropriate.
Usually that's to return an error to their callers.
check_skas3_ptrace_faultinfo just exits since that's too early to do anything
else.
save_registers, restore_registers, and init_registers now return status
instead of panicing on failure, with their callers doing something
appropriate.
There were also duplicate declarations of save_registers and restore_registers
in os.h - these are gone.
I noticed and fixed up some whitespace damage.

another code cleanup, nothing really significant.

This patch makes a number of simplifications enabled by the removal of
CHOOSE_MODE. There were lots of functions that looked like
int foo(args){
foo_skas(args);
}
The bodies of foo_skas are now folded into foo, and their declarations (and
sometimes entire header files) are deleted.
In addition, the union uml_pt_regs, which was a union between the tt and skas
register formats, is now a struct, with the tt-mode arm of the union being
removed.
It turns out that usr2_handler was unused, so it is gone.

The next stage after removing code which depends on CONFIG_MODE_TT is removing
the CHOOSE_MODE abstraction, which provided both compile-time and run-time
branching to either tt-mode or skas-mode code.
This patch removes choose-mode.h and all inclusions of it, and replaces all
CHOOSE_MODE invocations with the skas branch. This leaves a number of trivial
functions which will be dealt with in a later patch.
There are some changes in the uaccess and tls support which go somewhat beyond
this and eliminate some of the now-redundant functions.

This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.
This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.
The removal is done as follows:
remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
CONFIG_MODE_TT
get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
skas portions
replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents
There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context. These
are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.
As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
files that were changed. There are three such patches, one for each phase,
covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.
I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.
The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
inexplicable crashes under tt mode. Since that is no longer a problem, this
can now go in.
This patch:
Start getting rid of tt mode support.
This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
which depend on it.
CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
unconditionally.
The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
strictly deletions.

In my previous x86_64 thread fix, I forgot to initialize thread.arch.fs in
arch_prctl. A process calling arch_prctl to set %fs would lose it on the
next context switch.
It also turns out that you can switch to a process which is in the process
of exiting and which has lost its mm. In this case, it's worse than
useless to try to call arch_prctl on the host process.

This patch fixes some missing ptrace bits on x86_64. PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is
hooked up and implemented. This required generalizing arch_prctl_skas
slightly to take a task_struct to modify. Previously, it always operated on
current.
Reading and writing the debug registers is also enabled by un-ifdefing the
code that implements that. It turns out that x86_64 is identical to i386, so
the same code can be used.

x86_64 needs some TLS fixes. What was missing was remembering the child
thread id during clone and stuffing it into the child during each context
switch.
The %fs value is stored separately in the thread structure since the host
controls what effect it has on the actual register file. The host also needs
to store it in its own thread struct, so we need the value kept outside the
register file.
arch_prctl_skas was fixed to call PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL appropriately. There is
some saving and restoring of registers in the ARCH_SET_* cases so that the
correct set of registers are changed on the host and restored to the process
when it runs again.

Patch imlements full LDT handling in SKAS:
* UML holds it's own LDT table, used to deliver data on
modify_ldt(READ)
* UML disables the default_ldt, inherited from the host (SKAS3)
or resets LDT entries, set by host's clib and inherited in
SKAS0
* A new global variable skas_needs_stub is inserted, that
can be used to decide, whether stub-pages must be supported
or not.
* Uses the syscall-stub to replace missing PTRACE_LDT (therefore,
write_ldt_entry needs to be modified)

Fix it a bit (after some cross checking with "man arch_prctl"). There were:
*) typos FS/GS and back
*) FS in place of FS_BASE (and the same for GS)
*) the procedure used put_user on &addr, where addr was the parameter (i.e.
changed its param with put_user, completely useless) rather than interpreting
addr as a pointer, as requested in this case (see the man page).

3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
