[PATCH 00/27] Implement SECCOMP based userland

Currently UML uses ptrace in order to implement userspace processes. This
works really well, however, it requires six context switches per pagefault
(get faultinfo, run syscalls, continue process).
By switching to use SECCOMP, the whole process becomes more collaborative
as the userspace process can run code, including host syscalls, before
jumping into the kernel and after the kernel returns control. This means
pagefaults only require two context switches to be processed.
In pagefault heavy scenarios (e.g. fork/exec) the performance increase of
doing this can be considerable, with runtimes dropping by 30% or more.
Note that this implementation is not safe as userspace code could jump
directly to the syscall instruction in order to execute an arbitrary host
syscall. This should be fixable by remapping the page RW for a short time
in order to NOP out the syscall instruction.
Because of this, the seccomp mode is disabled by default.
Benjamin Berg (27):
um: Switch printk calls to adhere to correct coding style
um: Declare fix_range_common as a static function
um: Drop support for hosts without SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP support
um: Drop NULL check from start_userspace
um: Make errors to stop ptraced child fatal during startup
um: Don't use vfprintf() for os_info()
um: Do not use printk in SIGWINCH helper thread
um: Reap winch thread if it fails
um: Do not use printk in userspace trampoline
um: Always inline stub functions
um: Rely on PTRACE_SETREGSET to set FS/GS base registers
um: Remove unused register save/restore functions
um: Mark 32bit syscall helpers as clobbering memory
um: Create signal stack memory assignment in stub_data
um: Add generic stub_syscall6 function
um: Rework syscall handling
um: Store full CSGSFS and SS register from mcontext
um: Pass full mm_id to functions creating helper processes
um: Move faultinfo extraction into userspace routine
um: Use struct uml_pt_regs for copy_context_skas0
um: Add UML_SECCOMP configuration option
um: Add stub side of SECCOMP/futex based process handling
um: Add helper functions to get/set state for SECCOMP
um: Add SECCOMP support detection and initialization
um: Die if a child dies unexpectedly in seccomp mode
um: Implement kernel side of SECCOMP based process handling
um: Delay flushing syscalls until the thread is restarted
