Add initial symmetric multi-processing (SMP) support to UML. With
this support enabled, users can tell UML to start multiple virtual
processors, each represented as a separate host thread.
In UML, kthreads and normal threads (when running in kernel mode)
can be scheduled and executed simultaneously on different virtual
processors. However, the userspace code of normal threads still
runs within their respective single-threaded stubs.
That is, SMP support is currently available both within the kernel
and across different processes, but still remains limited within
threads of the same process in userspace.

arch/um is one of the last users of CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP, but upon
closer look it appears that the PCI host bridge does not register
any port I/O, and the absense of both custom inb/outb functions and
a PCI_IOBASE constant means that actually trying to use port I/O
results on a NULL pointer access.
Build testing with clang confirms this by warning about this exact
problem:
include/asm-generic/io.h:549:31: error: performing pointer arithmetic on a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Werror,-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic]
549 | val = __raw_readb(PCI_IOBASE + addr);
| ~~~~~~~~~~ ^
Remove all the Kconfig selects that refer to legacy port I/O
and instead just build the normal MMIO path that is emulated
by the virtio PCI host.

There is no need to override the default version of this function
anymore as UML now has proper _nofault memory access functions.
Doing this also fixes the fact that the implementation was incorrect as
using mincore() will incorrectly flag pages as inaccessible if they were
swapped out by the host.

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:
src := $(obj)
When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.
This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.
To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.
Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:
$(obj) - directory in the object tree
$(src) - directory in the source tree (changed by this commit)
$(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
$(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree
Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

I added $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles in the following commits:
- 3204a7fb98 ("kbuild: prefix $(srctree)/ to some included Makefiles")
- d828563955 ("kbuild: do not require sub-make for separate output tree builds")
They were a preparation for removing --include-dir flag.
I have never thought --include-dir useful. Rather, it _is_ harmful.
For example, run the following commands:
$ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
Error: kernelrelease not valid - run 'make prepare' to update it
UPD include/config/kernel.release
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
The first command configures the source tree for x86. The next command
tries to build ARM device trees in the separate foo/ directory - this
must stop because the directory foo/ has not been configured yet.
However, due to --include-dir=$(abs_srctree), the top Makefile includes
the wrong include/config/auto.conf from the source tree and continues
building. Kbuild traverses the directory tree, but of course it does
not work correctly. The Error message is also pointless - 'make prepare'
does not help at all for fixing the issue.
This commit fixes more arch Makefile, and finally removes --include-dir
from the top Makefile.
There are more breakages under drivers/, but I do not volunteer to fix
them all. I just moved --include-dir to drivers/Makefile.
With this commit, the second command will stop with a sensible message.
$ make -s ARCH=x86 mrproper defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm O=foo dtbs
make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/linux/foo'
SYNC include/config/auto.conf.cmd

be used to select the correct implementations for xor, crypto, etc.
2. Reflect host cache alignment into UML instance. This is
important when running 32 bit on a 64 bit host as 32 bit by
default aligns to 32 while the actual alignment should be 64.
Ditto for some Xeons which align at 128.

To support testing of PCI/PCIe drivers in UML, add a PCI bus
support driver. This driver uses virtio, which in UML is really
just vhost-user, to talk to devices, and adds the devices to
the virtual PCI bus in the system.
Since virtio already allows DMA/bus mastering this really isn't
all that hard, of course we need the logic_iomem infrastructure
that was added by a previous patch.
The protocol to talk to the device is has a few fairly simple
messages for reading to/writing from config and IO spaces, and
messages for the device to send the various interrupts (INT#,
MSI/MSI-X and while suspended PME#).
Note that currently no offical virtio device ID is assigned for
this protocol, as a consequence this patch requires defining it
in the Kconfig, with a default that makes the driver refuse to
work at all.
Finally, in order to add support for MSI/MSI-X interrupts, some
small changes are needed in the UML IRQ code, it needs to have
more interrupts, changing NR_IRQS from 64 to 128 if this driver
is enabled, but not actually use them for anything so that the
generic IRQ domain/MSI infrastructure can allocate IRQ numbers.

This adds support for kcov to UML.
There is a small problem where UML will randomly segfault during boot;
this is because current_thread_info() occasionally returns an invalid
(non-NULL) pointer and we try to dereference it in
__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(). I consider this a bug in UML itself and this
patch merely exposes it.

UML needs it's own probe_kernel_read() to handle kernel
mode faults correctly.
The implementation uses mincore() on the host side to detect
whether a page is owned by the UML kernel process.
This fixes also a possible crash when sysrq-t is used.
Starting with 3.10 sysrq-t calls probe_kernel_read() to
read details from the kernel workers. As kernel worker are
completely async pointers may turn NULL while reading them.
