Tidy kern_util.h.  It turns out that most of the function declarations
aren't used, so they can go away.  os.h no longer includes
kern_util.h, so files which got it through os.h now need to include it
directly.  A number of other files never needed it, so these includes
are deleted.

The structure which was used to pass signal handlers from the kernel
side to the userspace side is gone.  Instead, the handlers are
declared here, and used directly from libc code.  This allows
arch/um/os-Linux/trap.c to be deleted, with its remnants being moved
to arch/um/os-Linux/skas/trap.c.

arch/um/os-Linux/tty.c had its inclusions changed, and it needed some
style attention, so it got tidied.

<content type='text'>
This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.

This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.

The removal is done as follows:
	remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
CONFIG_MODE_TT
	get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
skas portions
	replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents

There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context.  These
are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.

As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
files that were changed.  There are three such patches, one for each phase,
covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.

I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.

The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
inexplicable crashes under tt mode.  Since that is no longer a problem, this
can now go in.

This patch:

Start getting rid of tt mode support.

This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
which depend on it.

CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
unconditionally.

The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
strictly deletions.

<title>uml: stop saving process FP state</title>

Throw out a lot of code dealing with saving and restoring floating-point
state.  In skas mode, where processes run in a restoring floating-point state
on kernel entry and exit is pointless.

This eliminates most of arch/um/os-Linux/sys-{i386,x86_64}/registers.c.  Most
of what remained is now arch-indpendent, and can be moved up to
arch/um/os-Linux/registers.c.  Both arches need the jmp_buf accessor
get_thread_reg, and i386 needs {save,restore}_fp_regs because it cheats during
sigreturn by getting the fp state using ptrace rather than copying it out of
the process sigcontext.

After this, it turns out that arch/um/include/skas/mode-skas.h is almost
completely unneeded.  The declarations in it are variables which either don't
exist or which don't have global scope.  The one exception is
kill_off_processes_skas.  If that's removed, this header can be deleted.

This uncovered a bug in user.h, which wasn't correctly making sure that a
size_t definition was available to both userspace and kernelspace files.

<title>[PATCH] uml: make execvp safe for our usage</title>

Reimplement execvp for our purposes - after we call fork() it is fundamentally
unsafe to use the kernel allocator - current is not valid there.  So we simply
pass to our modified execvp() a preallocated buffer.  This fixes a real bug
and works very well in testing (I've seen indirectly warning messages from the
forked thread - they went on the pipe connected to its stdout and where read
as a number by UML, when calling read_output().  I verified the obtained
number corresponded to "BUG:").

The added use of __cant_sleep() is not a new bug since __cant_sleep() is
already used in the same function - passing an atomicity parameter would be
better but it would require huge change, stating that this function must not
be called in atomic context and can sleep is a better idea (will make sure of
this gradually).

Implement sys_[gs]et_thread_area and the corresponding ptrace operations for
UML.  This is the main chunk, additional parts follow.  This implementation is
now well tested and has run reliably for some time, and we've understood all
the previously existing problems.

Their implementation saves the new GDT content and then forwards the call to
the host when appropriate, i.e.  immediately when the target process is
running or on context switch otherwise (i.e.  on fork and on ptrace() calls).

In SKAS mode, we must switch registers on each context switch (because SKAS
does not switches tls_array together with current-&gt;mm).

Also, added get_cpu() locking; this has been done for SKAS mode, since TT does
not need it (it does not use smp_processor_id()).
