f7e9077a16 um: Stop tracking stub's PID via userspace_pid[]
The PID of the stub process can be obtained from current_mm_id().
There is no need to track it via userspace_pid[]. Stop doing that
to simplify the code.

e92e255285 um: pass FD for memory operations when needed
Instead of always sharing the FDs with the userspace process, only hand
over the FDs needed for mmap when required. The idea is that userspace
might be able to force the stub into executing an mmap syscall, however,
it will not be able to manipulate the control flow sufficiently to have
access to an FD that would allow mapping arbitrary memory.

Security wise, we need to be sure that only the expected syscalls are
executed after the kernel sends FDs through the socket. This is
currently not the case, as userspace can trivially jump to the
rt_sigreturn syscall instruction to execute any syscall that the stub is
permitted to do. With this, it can trick the kernel to send the FD,
which in turn allows userspace to freely map any physical memory.

As such, this is currently *not* secure. However, in principle the
approach should be fine with a more strict SECCOMP filter and a careful
review of the stub control flow (as userspace can prepare a stack). With
some care, it is likely possible to extend the security model to SMP if
desired.

8420e08fe3 um: Track userspace children dying in SECCOMP mode
When in seccomp mode, we would hang forever on the futex if a child has
died unexpectedly. In contrast, ptrace mode will notice it and kill the
corresponding thread when it fails to run it.

Fix this issue using a new IRQ that is fired after a SIGCHLD and keeping
an (internal) list of all MMs. In the IRQ handler, find the affected MM
and set its PID to -1 as well as the futex variable to FUTEX_IN_KERN.

This, together with futex returning -EINTR after the signal is
sufficient to implement a race-free detection of a child dying.

Note that this also enables IRQ handling while starting a userspace
process. This should be safe and SECCOMP requires the IRQ in case the
process does not come up properly.

3c83170d7c um: Delay flushing syscalls until the thread is restarted
As running the syscalls is expensive due to context switches, we should
do so as late as possible in case more syscalls need to be queued later
on. This will also benefit a later move to a SECCOMP enabled userspace
as in that case the need for extra context switches is removed entirely.

76ed9158e1 um: Rework syscall handling
Rework syscall handling to be platform independent. Also create a clean
split between queueing of syscalls and flushing them out, removing the
need to keep state in the code that triggers the syscalls.

The code adds syscall_data_len to the global mm_id structure. This will
be used later to allow surrounding code to track whether syscalls still
need to run and if errors occurred.

a7d48886ca um: defer killing userspace on page table update failures
In some cases we can get to fix_range_common() with mmap_sem held,
and in others we get there without it being held. For example, we
get there with it held from sys_mprotect(), and without it held
from fork_handler().

Avoid any issues in this and simply defer killing the task until
it runs the next time. Do it on the mm so that another task that
shares the same mm can't continue running afterwards.
