32-bit ARM has an odd variant of the fadvise syscall which has
rearranged arguments, which we try to implement. Unfortunately we got

This is a six-argument syscall whose arguments are:
* fd
* advise parameter
* offset high half
* offset low half
* len high half
* len low half
Stop trying to share code with the standard fadvise syscalls,

If multiple host signals are received in quick succession they would
be queued in TaskState then delivered to the guest in spite of
signals being supposed to be blocked by the guest signal handler's
sa_mask. Fix this by decoupling the guest signal mask from the
host signal mask, so we can have protected sections where all
host signals are blocked. In particular we block signals from
when host_signal_handler() queues a signal from the guest until
process_pending_signals() has unqueued it. We also block signals
while we are manipulating the guest signal mask in emulation of
sigprocmask and similar syscalls.
Blocking host signals also ensures the correct behaviour with respect
to multiple threads and the overrun count of timer related signals.
Alas blocking and queuing in qemu is still needed because of virtual
processor exceptions, SIGSEGV and SIGBUS.
Blocking signals inside process_pending_signals() protects against
concurrency problems that would otherwise happen if host_signal_handler()
ran and accessed the signal data structures while process_pending_signals()
was manipulating them.
Since we now track the guest signal mask separately from that
of the host, the sigsuspend system calls must track the signal
mask passed to them, because when we process signals as we leave
the sigsuspend the guest signal mask in force is that passed to
sigsuspend.

On Linux the setuid(), setgid(), etc system calls have different semantics
from the libc functions. The libc functions follow POSIX and update the
credentials for all threads in the process; the system calls update only
the thread which makes the call. (This impedance mismatch is worked around
in libc by signalling all threads to tell them to do a syscall, in a
byzantine and fragile way; see http://ewontfix.com/17/.)
Since in linux-user we are trying to emulate the system call semantics,
we must implement all these syscalls to directly call the underlying
host syscall, rather than calling the host libc function.

The msgrcv ABI is a bit odd -- the msgsz argument is a size_t, which is
unsigned, but it must fail EINVAL if the value is negative when cast
to a long. We were incorrectly passing the value through an
"unsigned int", which meant that if the guest was 32-bit longs and
the host was 64-bit longs an input of 0xffffffff (which should trigger
EINVAL) would simply be passed to the host msgrcv() as 0xffffffff,
where it does not cause the host kernel to reject it.
Follow the same approach as do_msgsnd() in using a ssize_t and
doing the check for negative values by hand, so we correctly fail
in this corner case.
This fixes the msgrcv03 Linux Test Project test case, which otherwise
hangs.

In a struct timespec, both fields are signed longs. Converting
them from guest to host with code like
host_ts->tv_sec = tswapal(target_ts->tv_sec);
mishandles negative values if the guest has 32-bit longs and
the host has 64-bit longs because tswapal()'s return type is
abi_ulong: the assignment will zero-extend into the host long
type rather than sign-extending it.
Make the conversion routines use __get_user() and __set_user()
instead: this automatically picks up the signedness of the
field type and does the correct kind of sign or zero extension.
It also handles the possibility that the target struct is not
sufficiently aligned for the host's requirements.
In particular, this fixes a hang when running the Linux Test Project
mq_timedsend01 and mq_timedreceive01 tests: one of the test cases
sets the timeout to -1 and expects an EINVAL failure, but we were
setting a very long timeout instead.

Wrap execve() in the safe-syscall handling. Although execve() is not
an interruptible syscall, it is a special case: if we allow a signal
to happen before we make the host$ syscall then we will 'lose' it,
because at the point of execve the process leaves QEMU's control. So
we use the safe syscall wrapper to ensure that we either take the
signal as a guest signal, or else it does not happen before the
execve completes and makes it the other program's problem.
The practical upshot is that without this SIGTERM could fail to
terminate the process.

If a signal is delivered immediately before a blocking system call the
handler will only be called after the system call returns, which may be a
long time later or never.
This is fixed by using a function (safe_syscall) that checks if a guest
signal is pending prior to making a system call, and if so does not call the
system call and returns -TARGET_ERESTARTSYS. If a signal is received between
the check and the system call host_signal_handler() rewinds execution to
before the check. This rewinding has the effect of closing the race window
so that safe_syscall will reliably either (a) go into the host syscall
with no unprocessed guest signals pending or or (b) return
-TARGET_ERESTARTSYS so that the caller can deal with the signals.
Implementing this requires a per-host-architecture assembly language
fragment.
This will also resolve the mishandling of the SA_RESTART flag where
we would restart a host system call and not call the guest signal handler
until the syscall finally completed -- syscall restarting now always
happens at the guest syscall level so the guest signal handler will run.
(The host syscall will never be restarted because if the host kernel
rewinds the PC to point at the syscall insn for a restart then our
host_signal_handler() will see this and arrange the guest PC rewind.)
This commit contains the infrastructure for implementing safe_syscall
and the assembly language fragment for x86-64, but does not change any
syscalls to use it.

spkt_family contains the device type, spkt_protocol is the IEEE 802.3
protocol type as defined in <sys/if_ether.h> and spkt_device is the
device name as a null-terminated string, for example, eth0.

in PACKET(7) :
packet_socket = socket(AF_PACKET, int socket_type, int protocol);
[...]
protocol is the IEEE 802.3 protocol
number in network order. See the <linux/if_ether.h> include file for a
list of allowed protocols. When protocol is set to htons(ETH_P_ALL)
then all protocols are received. All incoming packets of that protocol
type will be passed to the packet socket before they are passed to the
protocols implemented in the kernel.
[...]
Compatibility
In Linux 2.0, the only way to get a packet socket was by calling
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_PACKET, protocol).
We need to tswap16() the protocol because on big-endian, the ABI is
waiting for, for instance for ETH_P_ALL, 0x0003 (big endian ==
network order), whereas on little-endian it is waiting for 0x0300.

Convert malloc()/ calloc() calls to g_malloc()/ g_try_malloc()/ g_new0()
All heap memory allocation should go through glib so that we can take
advantage of a single memory allocator and its debugging/tracing features.
