Newly forked threads have no arch_switch_to_skas() called before their first
run, because when schedule() switches to them they're resumed in the body of
thread_wait() inside fork_handler() rather than in switch_threads() in
switch_to_skas(). Compensate this missing call.

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->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()).

Call arch_switch also in switch_to_skas, even if it's, for now, a no-op for
that case (and mark this in the comment); this will change soon.
Also, arch_switch for TT mode is actually useless when the PT proxy (a
complicate debugging instrumentation for TT mode) is not enabled. In fact, it
only calls update_debugregs, which checks debugregs_seq against seq (to check
if the registers are up-to-date - seq here means a "version number" of the
registers).
If the ptrace proxy is not enabled, debugregs_seq always stays 0 and
update_debugregs will be a no-op. So, optimize this out (the compiler can't
do it).
Also, I've been disappointed by the fact that it would make a lot of sense if,
after calling a successful
update_debugregs(current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq),
current->thread.arch.debugregs_seq were updated with the new debugregs_seq.
But this is not done. Is this a bug or a feature? For all purposes, it seems
a bug (otherwise the whole mechanism does not make sense, which is also a
possibility to check), which causes some performance only problems (not
correctness), since we write_debugregs when not needed.
Also, as suggested by Jeff, remove a redundant enabling of SIGVTALRM,
comprised in the subsequent local_irq_enable(). I'm just a bit dubious if
ordering matters there...

For security reasons, UML in is_syscall() needs to have access to code in
vsyscall-page. The current implementation grants this access by explicitly
allowing access to vsyscall in access_ok_skas(). With this change,
copy_from_user() may be used to read the code. Ptrace access to vsyscall-page
for debugging already was implemented in get_user_pages() by mainline. In
i386, copy_from_user can't access vsyscall-page, but returns EFAULT.
To make UML behave as i386 does, I changed is_syscall to use
access_process_vm(current) to read the code from vsyscall-page. This doesn't
hurt security, but simplifies the code and prepares implementation of
stub-vmas.

s390 needs to change some parts of arch/um/kernel/ptrace.c. Thus, the code
regarding PEEKUSER and POKEUSER are shifted to arch/um/sys-<subarch>/ptrace.c.
Also s390 debug registers need to be updated, when singlestepping is switched
on / off. Thus, setting/resetting of singlestepping is centralized in the new
function set_singlestep(), which also inserts the macro
SUBARCH_SET_SINGLESTEP(mode), if defined.
Finally, s390 has the "ieee_instruction_pointer" in its
registers, which also is allowed to be read via
ptrace( PTRACE_PEEKUSER, getpid(), PT_IEEE_IP, 0);
To implement this feature, sys_ptrace inserts the macro
SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL, if defined.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
