Fix up the switching between virtual and real timers. The idle loop sleeps,
so the timer at that point must be real time. At all other times, the timer
must be virtual. Even when userspace is running, and the kernel is asleep,
the virtual timer is correct because the process timer will be running and the
process timer will be firing.
The timer switch used to be in the context switch and timer handler code.
This is moved to the idle loop and the signal handler, making it much more
clear why it is happening.
switch_timers now returns the old timer type so that it may be restored. The
signal handler uses this in order to restore the previous timer type when it
returns.

Eliminate hz() since its only purpose was to provide a kernel-space constant
to userspace code. This can be done instead by providing the constant
directly through kernel_constants.h.

Formatting changes in the files which have been changed in the
tt-removal patchset so far. These include:
copyright updates
header file trimming
style fixes
adding severity to printks
indenting Kconfig help according to the predominant kernel style
These changes should be entirely non-functional.

This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.
This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.
The removal is done as follows:
remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
CONFIG_MODE_TT
get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
skas portions
replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents
There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context. These
are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.
As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
files that were changed. There are three such patches, one for each phase,
covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.
I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.
The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
inexplicable crashes under tt mode. Since that is no longer a problem, this
can now go in.
This patch:
Start getting rid of tt mode support.
This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
which depend on it.
CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
unconditionally.
The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
strictly deletions.

CONFIG_MODE_TT does not work there, the UML_ prefixed version must be used -
this causes a link-time failure when CONFIG_MODE_TT is enabled (i.e. always
here, never by Jeff).

set_interval returns an error instead of panicing if setitimer fails. Some of
its callers now check the return.
enable_timer is largely tt-mode-specific, so it is marked as such, and the
only skas-mode caller is made to call set-interval instead.
user_time_init was a no-value-added wrapper around set_interval, so it is
gone.
Since set_interval is now called from kernel code, callers no longer pass
ITIMER_* to it. Instead, they pass a flag which is converted into ITIMER_REAL
or ITIMER_VIRTUAL.

Have most signals go through an arch-provided handler which recovers the
sigcontext and then calls a generic handler. This replaces the
ARCH_GET_SIGCONTEXT macro, which was somewhat fragile. On x86_64, recovering
%rdx (which holds the sigcontext pointer) must be the first thing that
happens. sig_handler duly invokes that first, but there is no guarantee that
I can see that instructions won't be reordered such that %rdx is used before
that. Having the arch provide the handler seems much more robust.
Some signals in some parts of UML require their own handlers - these places
don't call set_handler any more. They call sigaction or signal themselves.

This cleans up the mess that is the timer initialization. There used to be
two timer handlers - one that basically ran during delay loop calibration and
one that handled the timer afterwards. There were also two sets of timer
initialization code - one that starts in user code and calls into the kernel
side of the house, and one that starts in kernel code and calls user code.
This eliminates one timer handler and consolidates the two sets of
initialization code.

Initialize wall_to_monotonic correctly. This fixes a problem where sleeps
lasted about one secone less than they should. This also called for a bit of
code restructuring, following a patch which Blaisorblade had been keeping.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
