Paul Pluzhnikov 8876d6b5f8 net: Make linux/tcp.h C++ friendly (trivial)
I originally sent this patch to <trivial@kernel.org>, but Jiri Kosina did
not feel that this is fully appropriate for the trivial tree.

Using linux/tcp.h from C++ results in:

cat t.cc
#include <linux/tcp.h>
int main() { }

g++ -c t.cc

In file included from t.cc:1:
/usr/include/linux/tcp.h:72: error: '__u32 __fswab32(__u32)' cannot appear in a constant-expression
/usr/include/linux/tcp.h:72: error: a function call cannot appear in a constant-expression
...

Attached trivial patch fixes this problem.

Tested:
- the t.cc above compiles with g++ and
- the following program generates the same output before/after
  the patch:

#include <linux/tcp.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{
#define P(a) printf("%s: %08x\n", #a, (int)a)
 P(TCP_FLAG_CWR);
 P(TCP_FLAG_ECE);
 P(TCP_FLAG_URG);
 P(TCP_FLAG_ACK);
 P(TCP_FLAG_PSH);
 P(TCP_FLAG_RST);
 P(TCP_FLAG_SYN);
 P(TCP_FLAG_FIN);
 P(TCP_RESERVED_BITS);
 P(TCP_DATA_OFFSET);
#undef P
 return 0;
}

Paul Pluzhnikov 13e165baf6 uml: kernels on {i386,x86_64} produce bad coredumps
One of our users reported that when a user-level program SIGSEGVs under
UML kernel, the resulting core dump is not very usable.

I have reproduced that with the latest kernel:

  make ARCH=um defconfig; make ARCH=um

Run the resulting kernel, then "inside" run this program:

#include <pthread.h>

void *fn(void *p)
{
 abort();
}

int main()
{
 pthread_t tid;
 pthread_create(&tid, 0, fn, 0);
 pthread_join(tid, 0);
 return 0;
}

Analyze the coredump with GDB. Here is what you'll see:

sudo gdb -q -ex 'set solib-absolute-prefix ../root_fs' -ex 'file ../root_fs/var/tmp/mt-abort' -ex 'core ../root_fs/var/tmp/core.762'

Examining the core shows that NT_PRSTATUS notes for all threads other than
the one that crashed are zeroed out.

I believe this is happening because neither ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS nor
task_pt_regs are defined under ARCH=um, and so elf_core_copy_task_regs()
becomes a no-op.

Attached patch fixes this for SUBARCH={x86_64,i386}.
