When UML is unable to reuse the host's vDSO FIXADDR_USER_START is zero.
To handle this special case correclty we have to implement custom gate
area helper methods.

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'
Reading symbols from /usr/local/google/root_fs/var/tmp/mt-abort...done.

Core was generated by `./mt-abort'.

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}.

We can't pull in linux/sched.h due to circular dependency, so just
forward-declare the struct.
This fixes the following warning:
CC arch/um/sys-i386/elfcore.o
In file included from /data/linux-2.6/include/linux/elf.h:8,
from /data/linux-2.6/arch/um/sys-i386/elfcore.c:2:
arch/um/sys-i386/asm/elf.h:78: warning: ‘struct task_struct’ declared inside parameter list
arch/um/sys-i386/asm/elf.h:78: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
I guess not many people build against i386 hosts anymore, so this
remained widely unnoticed.

elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions. This patch removes
#ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions. For
architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
order to reduce a range of modification.
This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is
worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.

Currently all architectures but microblaze unconditionally define
USE_ELF_CORE_DUMP. The microblaze omission seems like an error to me, so
let's kill this ifdef and make sure we are the same everywhere.
