[ Upstream commit dda520d07b95072a0b63f6c52a8eb566d08ea897 ]

QEMU has a -no-reboot option, which halts instead of reboots when the
guest asks to reboot. This is invaluable when used with
CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT=-1 (and panic_on_warn), because it allows panics
and warnings to be caught immediately in CI. Implement this in UML too,
by way of a basic setup param.

<title>um: seed rng using host OS rng</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3e90479895476fc3cbeffe2bfe01fa35607eab73</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0b9ba6135d7f18b82f3d8bebb55ded725ba88e0e upstream.

UML generally does not provide access to special CPU instructions like
RDRAND, and execution tends to be rather deterministic, with no real
hardware interrupts, making good randomness really very hard, if not
all together impossible. Not only is this a security eyebrow raiser, but
it's also quite annoying when trying to do various pieces of UML-based
automation that takes a long time to boot, if ever.

Fix this by trivially calling getrandom() in the host and using that
seed as "bootloader randomness", which initializes the rng immediately
at UML boot.

The old behavior can be restored the same way as on any other arch, by
way of CONFIG_TRUST_BOOTLOADER_RANDOMNESS=n or
random.trust_bootloader=0. So seen from that perspective, this just
makes UML act like other archs, which is positive in its own right.

Additionally, wire up arch_get_random_{int,long}() in the same way, so
that reseeds can also make use of the host RNG, controllable by
CONFIG_TRUST_CPU_RANDOMNESS and random.trust_cpu, per usual.

<title>um: Replace to_phys() and to_virt() with less generic function names</title>

<id>urn:sha1:097da1a44d1aef15739214fecf8f4c63792bb665</id>
<content type='text'>
The UML function names to_virt() and to_phys() are exposed by UML
headers, and are very generic and may be defined by drivers.  As it
turns out, commit 9409c9b6709e ("pmem: refactor pmem_clear_poison()")
did exactly that.

This results in build errors such as the following when trying to build
um:allmodconfig:

  drivers/nvdimm/pmem.c: In function ‘pmem_dax_zero_page_range’:
  ./arch/um/include/asm/page.h:105:20: error: too few arguments to function ‘to_phys’
    105 | #define __pa(virt) to_phys((void *) (unsigned long) (virt))
        |                    ^~~~~~~

Use less generic function names for the um specific to_phys() and
to_virt() functions to fix the problem and to avoid similar problems in
the future.

Add SUBARCH target for Clang+um (which must go last, not alphabetically,
so the other SUBARCHes are assigned). Remove open-coded "DEFINE"
macro, instead using linux/kbuild.h's version which was updated to use
Clang-friendly assembly in commit cf0c3e68aa81 ("kbuild: fix asm-offset
generation to work with clang"). Redefine "DEFINE_LONGS" in terms of
"COMMENT" and "DEFINE" so that the intended coment actually has useful
content. Add a missed "break" to avoid implicit fall-through warnings.

This lets me run KUnit tests with Clang:

$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --make_options LLVM=1

The best place to log errors from the host side is in the kernel log within
the UML guest. Letting the user now that exec() failed and why is very
helpful when the user is trying to determine why some aspect of UML is not
working. For instance, when telneting into the UML instance, if the
connection is established and then immediately dropped, this may be due to
exec() failing because in.telnetd is not found.

The timeval_to_ns() function doesn't appear to be used anywhere, as far
as I (or git grep) can tell, and clang throws up a warning about it:

../arch/um/os-Linux/time.c:21:25: warning: unused function 'timeval_to_ns' [-Wunused-function]
static inline long long timeval_to_ns(const struct timeval *tv)

The function names init_registers() and restore_registers() are used
in several net/ethernet/ and gpu/drm/ drivers for other purposes (not
calls to UML functions), so rename them.

This fixes multiple build errors.
