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.

In a stock 2.6.22.6 kernel, poweroff a user mode linux guest (2.6.22.6 running
in skas0 mode) will halt the host linux. I think the reason is the kernel
thread abort because of a bug. Then the sys_reboot in process of user mode
linux guest is not trapped by the user mode linux kernel and is executed by
host. I think it is better to make sure all of our children process to quit
when user mode linux kernel abort.
[ jdike - the kernel process needs to ignore SIGTERM, plus the waitpid/kill
loop is needed to make sure that all of our children are dead before the
kernel exits ]

Replaced task_protections with stack_protections since they do the same
thing, and task_protections was misnamed anyway.
This needs THREAD_SIZE, so that's imported via common-offsets.h
Also tidied up the code in the vicinity.

userspace code used to have to call the kernelspace function page_size() in
order to determine the value of the kernel's PAGE_SIZE. Since this is now
available directly from kern_constants.h as UM_KERN_PAGE_SIZE, page_size() can
be deleted and calls changed to use the constant.

On a 64bit Uml, if run under "setarch i386" (which a user did), uname()
currently returns the obtained i686 as machine - fix that. Btw, I'm quite
surprised that under setarch i386 a 64-bit binary can run.

This patch adds an implementation of setjmp and longjmp to UML, allowing
access to the inside of a jmpbuf without needing the access macros formerly
provided by libc.
The implementation is stolen from klibc. I copy the relevant files into
arch/um. I have another patch which avoids the copying, but requires klibc be
in the tree.
setjmp and longjmp users required some tweaking. Includes of <setjmp.h> were
removed and includes of the UML longjmp.h were added where necessary. There
are also replacements of siglongjmp with UML_LONGJMP which I somehow missed
earlier.

Clean up the jmpbuf code. Since softints, we no longer use sig_setjmp, so
the UML_SIGSETJMP wrapper now has a misleading name. Also, I forgot to
change the buffers from sigjmp_buf to jmp_buf.

This patch implements soft interrupts. Interrupt enabling and disabling no
longer map to sigprocmask. Rather, a flag is set indicating whether
interrupts may be handled. If a signal comes in and interrupts are marked as
OK, then it is handled normally. If interrupts are marked as off, then the
signal handler simply returns after noting that a signal needs handling. When
interrupts are enabled later on, this pending signals flag is checked, and the
IRQ handlers are called at that point.
The point of this is to reduce the cost of local_irq_save et al, since they
are very much more common than the signals that they are enabling and
disabling. Soft interrupts produce a speed-up of ~25% on a kernel build.
Subtleties -
UML uses sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to switch contexts. sigsetjmp has been
wrapped in a save_flags-like macro which remembers the interrupt state at
setjmp time, and restores it when it is longjmp-ed back to.
The enable_signals function has to loop because the IRQ handler
disables interrupts before returning. enable_signals has to return with
signals enabled, and signals may come in between the disabling and the
return to enable_signals. So, it loops for as long as there are pending
signals, ensuring that signals are enabled when it finally returns, and
that there are no pending signals that need to be dealt with.

The poster child for this patch is the third tuntap_user hunk. When an ioctl
fails, it properly closes the opened file descriptor and returns. However,
the close resets errno to 0, and the 'return errno' that follows returns 0
rather than the value that ioctl set. This caused the caller to believe that
the device open succeeded and had opened file descriptor 0, which caused no
end of interesting behavior.
The rest of this patch is a pass through the UML sources looking for places
where errno could be reset before being passed back out. A common culprit is
printk, which could call write, being called before errno is returned.
In some cases, where the code ends up being much smaller, I just deleted the
printk.
There was another case where a caller of run_helper looked at errno after a
failure, rather than the return value of run_helper, which was the errno value
that it wanted.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
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.
Let it rip!
