Subject: [PATCH v18 24/80] c/r: restart-blocks

(Paraphrasing what's said this message:
http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2007/12/05/64)

Restart blocks are callbacks used cause a system call to be restarted
with the arguments specified in the system call restart block. It is
useful for system call that are not idempotent, i.e. the argument(s)
might be a relative timeout, where some adjustments are required when
restarting the system call. It relies on the system call itself to set
up its restart point and the argument save area.  They are rare: an
actual signal would turn that it an EINTR. The only case that should
ever trigger this is some kernel action that interrupts the system
call, but does not actually result in any user-visible state changes -
like freeze and thaw.

So restart blocks are about time remaining for the system call to
sleep/wait. Generally in c/r, there are two possible time models that
we can follow: absolute, relative. Here, I chose to save the relative
timeout, measured from the beginning of the checkpoint. The time when
the checkpoint (and restart) begin is also saved. This information is
sufficient to restart in either model (absolute or negative).

Which model to use should eventually be a per application choice (and
possible configurable via cradvise() or some sort). For now, we adopt
the relative model, namely, at restart the timeout is set relative to
the beginning of the restart.

To checkpoint, we check if a task has a valid restart block, and if so
we save the *remaining* time that is has to wait/sleep, and the type
of the restart block.

To restart, we fill in the data required at the proper place in the
thread information. If the system call return an error (which is
possibly an -ERESTARTSYS eg), we not only use that error as our own
return value, but also arrange for the task to execute the signal
handler (by faking a signal). The handler, in turn, already has the
code to handle these restart request gracefully.

Changelog[v1]:
  - [Nathan Lynch] fix compilation errors with CONFIG_COMPAT=y
