commit b485342bd79af363c77ef1a421c4a0aef2de9812 upstream.

Commit a074335a370e ("x86, um: Mark system call tables readonly") was
supposed to mark the sys_call_table in UML as RO by adding the const,
but it doesn't have the desired effect as it's nevertheless being placed
into the data section since __cacheline_aligned enforces sys_call_table
being placed into .data..cacheline_aligned instead. We need to use
the ____cacheline_aligned version instead to fix this issue.

Before:

$ nm -v arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.o | grep -1 "sys_call_table"
                 U sys_writev
0000000000000000 D sys_call_table
0000000000000000 D syscall_table_size

After:

$ nm -v arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.o | grep -1 "sys_call_table"
                 U sys_writev
0000000000000000 R sys_call_table
0000000000000000 D syscall_table_size

This was an optimization that made memcpy type benchmarks a little
faster on ancient (Circa 1998) IDT Winchip CPUs.  In real-life
workloads, it wasn't even noticable, and I doubt anyone is running
benchmarks on 16 year old silicon any more.

Given this code has likely seen very little use over the last decade,
let's just remove it.

Pull UML changes from Richard Weinberger:
 "This pile contains a nice defconfig cleanup, a rewritten stack
  unwinder and various cleanups"

arch/um/defconfig only lists one default configuration, and that applies
only to the i386 architecture.  Replace it with two minimal
configuration files generated using `make savedefconfig`:

  i386_defconfig and x86_64_defconfig

The build scripts now require two updates:

1. um's Kconfig (arch/x86/um/Kconfig) should specify an ARCH_DEFCONFIG
   section explicitly pointing to these scripts if the required
   variables are set.  Take care to remove the DEFCONFIG_LIST section
   defined in the included file arch/um/Kconfig.common.

2. um's Makefile (arch/um/Makefile) should set KBUILD_DEFCONFIG properly
   for the top-level Makefile to pick up.  Copy the logic in
   arch/x86/Makefile to properly pick the defconfig file depending on
   the actual architecture; except we're working with $SUBARCH here,
   instead of $ARCH.

Now, you can do:

  $ ARCH=um make defconfig
  $ ARCH=um make

and successfully build User-Mode Linux on an x86_64 box in default
configuration.

Currently on UML stack traces are not very reliable and both
x86 and x86_64 have their on implementations.
This patch unifies both and adds support to outline unreliable
functions calls.
