um: mark rodata read-only and implement _nofault accesses

Mark read-only data actually read-only (simple mprotect), and
to be able to test it also implement _nofault accesses. This
works by setting up a new "segv_continue" pointer in current,
and then when we hit a segfault we change the signal return
context so that we continue at that address. The code using
this sets it up so that it jumps to a label and then aborts
the access that way, returning -EFAULT.

It's possible to optimize the ___backtrack_faulted() thing by
using asm goto (compiler version dependent) and/or gcc's (not
sure if clang has it) &&label extension, but at least in one
attempt I made the && caused the compiler to not load -EFAULT
into the register in case of jumping to the &&label from the
fault handler. So leave it like this for now.

um: move thread info into task

This selects the THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK option for UM and changes the way
that the current task is discovered. This is trivial though, as UML
already tracks the current task in cpu_tasks[] and this can be used to
retrieve it.

Also remove the signal handler code that copies the thread information
into the IRQ stack. It is obsolete now, which also means that the
mentioned race condition cannot happen anymore.

um: switch to regset API and depend on XSTATE

The PTRACE_GETREGSET API has now existed since Linux 2.6.33. The XSAVE
CPU feature should also be sufficiently common to be able to rely on it.

With this, define our internal FP state to be the hosts XSAVE data. Add
discovery for the hosts XSAVE size and place the FP registers at the end
of task_struct so that we can adjust the size at runtime.

Next we can implement the regset API on top and update the signal
handling as well as ptrace APIs to use them. Also switch coredump
creation to use the regset API and finally set HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK.

This considerably improves the signal frames. Previously they might not
have contained all the registers (i386) and also did not have the
sizes and magic values set to the correct values to permit userspace to
decode the frame.

As a side effect, this will permit UML to run on hosts with newer CPU
extensions (such as AMX) that need even more register state.

um: insert scheduler ticks when userspace does not yield

In time-travel mode userspace can do a lot of work without any time
passing. Unfortunately, this can result in OOM situations as the RCU
core code will never be run.

Work around this by keeping track of userspace processes that do not
yield for a lot of operations. When this happens, insert a jiffie into
the sched_clock clock to account time against the process and cause the
bookkeeping to run.

As sched_clock is used for tracing, it is useful to keep it in sync
between the different VMs. As such, try to remove added ticks again when
the actual clock ticks.

arch: um: rust: Add i386 support for Rust

At present, Rust in the kernel only supports 64-bit x86, so UML has
followed suit. However, it's significantly easier to support 32-bit i386
on UML than on bare metal, as UML does not use the -mregparm option
(which alters the ABI), which is not yet supported by rustc[1].

Add support for CONFIG_RUST on um/i386, by adding a new target config to
generate_rust_target, and replacing various checks on CONFIG_X86_64 to
also support CONFIG_X86_32.

We still use generate_rust_target, rather than a built-in rustc target,
in order to match x86_64, provide a future place for -mregparm, and more
easily disable floating point instructions.

With these changes, the KUnit tests pass with:
kunit.py run --make_options LLVM=1 --kconfig_add CONFIG_RUST=y
--kconfig_add CONFIG_64BIT=n --kconfig_add CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=n

An earlier version of these changes was proposed on the Rust-for-Linux
github[2].

hostfs: Fix ephemeral inodes

hostfs creates a new inode for each opened or created file, which
created useless inode allocations and forbade identifying a host file
with a kernel inode.

Fix this uncommon filesystem behavior by tying kernel inodes to host
file's inode and device IDs. Even if the host filesystem inodes may be
recycled, this cannot happen while a file referencing it is opened,
which is the case with hostfs. It should be noted that hostfs inode IDs
may not be unique for the same hostfs superblock because multiple host's
(backed) superblocks may be used.

Delete inodes when dropping them to force backed host's file descriptors
closing.

This enables to entirely remove ARCH_EPHEMERAL_INODES, and then makes
Landlock fully supported by UML. This is very useful for testing
changes.

These changes also factor out and simplify some helpers thanks to the
new hostfs_inode_update() and the hostfs_iget() revamp: read_name(),
hostfs_create(), hostfs_lookup(), hostfs_mknod(), and
hostfs_fill_sb_common().

A following commit with new Landlock tests check this new hostfs inode
consistency.

UML: add support for KASAN under x86_64

Make KASAN run on User Mode Linux on x86_64.

The UML-specific KASAN initializer uses mmap to map the ~16TB of shadow
memory to the location defined by KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET. kasan_init()
utilizes constructors to initialize KASAN before main().

The location of the KASAN shadow memory, starting at
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET, can be configured using the KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
option. The default location of this offset is 0x100000000000, which
keeps it out-of-the-way even on UML setups with more "physical" memory.

For low-memory setups, 0x7fff8000 can be used instead, which fits in an
immediate and is therefore faster, as suggested by Dmitry Vyukov. There
is usually enough free space at this location; however, it is a config
option so that it can be easily changed if needed.

Note that, unlike KASAN on other architectures, vmalloc allocations
still use the shadow memory allocated upfront, rather than allocating
and free-ing it per-vmalloc allocation.

If another architecture chooses to go down the same path, we should
replace the checks for CONFIG_UML with something more generic, such
as:
- A CONFIG_KASAN_NO_SHADOW_ALLOC option, which architectures could set
- or, a way of having architecture-specific versions of these vmalloc
and module shadow memory allocation options.

Also note that, while UML supports both KASAN in inline mode
(CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE) and static linking (CONFIG_STATIC_LINK), it does
not support both at the same time.

kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS

include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_*
as a placeholder.

Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be
used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends
on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset
to the reference of CRC.

It is time to get rid of this complexity.

Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs,
it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules.

Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of
symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c
files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before,
*.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal.

No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the
same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not.
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed.

Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in
objects, but this step is unneeded too.
