Did this as a merge because of (trivial) conflicts in
- Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
- arch/xtensa/include/asm/uaccess.h
that were just easier to fix up in the merge than in the patch series.

Until now UML had no x86_64 vDSO. So glibc always used the vsyscall page
for gettimeday() and friends. Calls to gettimeday() returned falsely the
host time and confused some programs.
This patch adds a vDSO which turns all __vdso_* calls into a system call
so that UML can trap them.
As glibc still uses the vsyscall page for static binaries this patch
improves the situation only for dynamic binaries.

Commit 0954828fcbf3 ("kconfig: replace KERNELVERSION usage by the
mainmenu's prompt") made the kernel version disappear from the generated
.config file when configuring for UML. As UML's Kconfig doesn't have a
mainmenu, kconfig falls back to the default string "Linux Kernel
Configuration".
Add a suitable mainmenu to the main UML Kconfig file to fix this.

With the recent mmu_gather changes that included generic RCU freeing of

This patch:
Remove the page table quicklists. They are pointless and make it harder
to use RCU page table freeing and share code with other architectures.

The idea is from Avi:
| We could cache the result of a miss in an spte by using a reserved bit, and
| checking the page fault error code (or seeing if we get an ept violation or
| ept misconfiguration), so if we get repeated mmio on a page, we don't need to
| search the slot list/tree.
| (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/22/221)
When the page fault is caused by mmio, we cache the info in the shadow page
table, and also set the reserved bits in the shadow page table, so if the mmio
is caused again, we can quickly identify it and emulate it directly
Searching mmio gfn in memslots is heavy since we need to walk all memeslots, it
can be reduced by this feature, and also avoid walking guest page table for
soft mmu.
