2cbade17b1 um: Fix the -Wmissing-prototypes warning for __switch_mm
The __switch_mm function is defined in the user code, and is called
by the kernel code. It should be declared in a shared header.

Fixes: 4dc706c2f292 ("um: take um_mmu.h to asm/mmu.h, clean asm/mmu_context.h a bit")

84b2789d61 um: separate child and parent errors in clone stub
If the two are mixed up, then it looks as though the parent
returned an error if the child failed (before) the mmap(),
and then the resulting process never gets killed. Fix this
by splitting the child and parent errors, reporting and
using them appropriately.

a7d48886ca um: defer killing userspace on page table update failures
In some cases we can get to fix_range_common() with mmap_sem held,
and in others we get there without it being held. For example, we
get there with it held from sys_mprotect(), and without it held
from fork_handler().

Avoid any issues in this and simply defer killing the task until
it runs the next time. Do it on the mm so that another task that
shares the same mm can't continue running afterwards.

2eb5f31bc4 um: Switch clocksource to hrtimers
UML is using an obsolete itimer call for
all timers and "polls" for kernel space timer firing
in its userspace portion resulting in a long list
of bugs and incorrect behaviour(s). It also uses
ITIMER_VIRTUAL for its timer which results in the
timer being dependent on it running and the cpu
load.

This patch fixes this by moving to posix high resolution
timers firing off CLOCK_MONOTONIC and relaying the timer
correctly to the UML userspace.

Fixes:
 - crashes when hosts suspends/resumes
 - broken userspace timers - effecive ~40Hz instead
   of what they should be. Note - this modifies skas behavior
   by no longer setting an itimer per clone(). Timer events
   are relayed instead.
 - kernel network packet scheduling disciplines
 - tcp behaviour especially under load
 - various timer related corner cases

Finally, overall responsiveness of userspace is better.

d0b5e15f0c um: Remove SKAS3/4 support
Before we had SKAS0 UML had two modes of operation
TT (tracing thread) and SKAS3/4 (separated kernel address space).
TT was known to be insecure and got removed a long time ago.
SKAS3/4 required a few (3 or 4) patches on the host side which never went
mainline. The last host patch is 10 years old.

With SKAS0 mode (separated kernel address space using 0 host patches),
default since 2005, SKAS3/4 is obsolete and can be removed.

8569c9140b x86, um: take arch/um/include/* out of the way
We can't just plop asm/* into it - userland helpers are built with it
in search path and seeing asm/* show up there suddenly would be a bad
idea.
