Evidently, PATH_MAX isn't always defined, at least not via <limits.h>.
Simply remove the use and replace it by a constant 4k. As stat::st_size
is zero for /proc/self/exe we can't even size it automatically, and it
seems unlikely someone's going to try to run UML with such a path.

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.

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.

When a PTE is updated in the page table, the _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit will
always be set. And the corresponding page will always be mapped or
unmapped depending on whether the PTE is present or not. The check
on the _PAGE_NEWPROT bit is not really reachable. Abandoning it will
allow us to simplify the code and remove the unreachable code.

The stub_exe could segfault when built with some compilers (e.g. gcc
13.2.0), as SSE instructions which relied on stack alignment could be
generated, but the stack was misaligned.
This seems to be due to the __start entry point being run with a 16-byte
aligned stack, but the x86_64 SYSV ABI wanting the stack to be so
aligned _before_ a function call (so it is misaligned when the function
is entered due to the return address being pushed). The function
prologue then realigns it. Because the entry point is never _called_,
and hence there is no return address, the prologue is therefore actually
misaligning it, and causing the generated movaps instructions to
SIGSEGV. This results in the following error:
start_userspace : expected SIGSTOP, got status = 139
Don't generate this prologue for __start by using
__attribute__((naked)), which resolves the issue.

When automatic variable initialization is enabled via
CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_{PATTERN,ZERO}, clang will insert a call to
memset() to initialize an object created with __builtin_alloca(). This
ultimately breaks the build when linking stub_exe because it is a
standalone executable that does not include or link against memset().
ld: arch/um/kernel/skas/stub_exe.o: in function `_start':
arch/um/kernel/skas/stub_exe.c:83:(.ltext+0x15): undefined reference to `memset'
Disable automatic variable initialization for stub_exe.c by passing the
default value of 'uninitialized' to '-ftrivial-auto-var-init', which
avoids generating the call to memset(). This code is small and runs
quickly as it is just designed to set up an environment, so stack
variable initialization is unnecessary overhead for little gain.

When building stub_exe with clang, there is an error because '-n' is not
a recognized flag by the clang driver (which is being used to invoke the
linker):
clang: error: unknown argument: '-n'
'-n' should be passed along to the linker, as it is the short flag for
'--nmagic', so prefix it with '-Wl,'.

With the change to use execve() we can now safely clear the memory up to
STUB_START as rseq will not be trying to use memory in that region. Also,
on 64 bit the previous changes should mean that there is no usable
memory range above the stub.
Make the change and remove the comment as it is not needed anymore.

When loading the UML binary, the host kernel will place the stack at the
highest possible address. It will then map the program name and
environment variables onto the start of the stack.
As such, an easy way to figure out the host_task_size is to use the
highest pointer to an environment variable as a reference.
Ensure that this works by disabling address layout randomization and
re-executing UML in case it was enabled.
This increases the available TASK_SIZE for 64 bit UML considerably.

Instead of using the current stack pointer, we can also use the current
instruction to calculate where the stub data is. With this the stub data
only needs to be aligned to a full page boundary.
Changing this has the advantage that we do not have a hole in the memory
space above the stub data (which would need to be explicitly cleared).
Another motivation to do this is that with the planned addition of a
SECCOMP based userspace the stack pointer may not be fully trustworthy.

Using clone will not undo features that have been enabled by libc. An
example of this already happening is rseq, which could cause the kernel
to read/write memory of the userspace process. In the future the
standard library might also use mseal by default to protect itself,
which would also thwart our attempts at unmapping everything.
Solve all this by taking a step back and doing an execve into a tiny
static binary that sets up the minimal environment required for the
stub without using any standard library. That way we have a clean
execution environment that is fully under the control of UML.
Note that this changes things a bit as the FDs are not anymore shared
with the kernel. Instead, we explicitly share the FDs for the physical
memory and all existing iomem regions. Doing this is fine, as iomem
regions cannot be added at runtime.

We do not need the extra save/restore of the FP registers when getting
the fault information. This was originally added in commit 2f56debd77
("uml: fix FP register corruption") but at that time the code was not
saving/restoring the FP registers when switching to userspace. This was
fixed in commit fbfe9c847e ("um: Save FPU registers between task
switches") and since then the auxiliary registers have not been useful.

When switching from userspace to the kernel, all registers including the
FP registers are copied into the kernel and restored later on. As such,
the true source for the FP register state is actually already in the
kernel and they should never be grabbed from the userspace process.
Change the various places to simply copy the data from the internal FP
register storage area. Note that on i386 the format of PTRACE_GETFPREGS
and PTRACE_GETFPXREGS is different enough that conversion would be
needed. With this patch, -EINVAL is returned if the non-native format is
requested.
The upside is, that this patchset fixes setting registers via ptrace
(which simply did not work before) as well as fixing setting floating
point registers using the mcontext on signal return on i386.
