[Devel] [PATCH] Save and restore the [compat_]robust_list member of the task struct.

These lists record which futexes the task holds. To keep the overhead of
robust futexes low the list is kept in userspace. When the task exits the
kernel carefully walks these lists to recover held futexes that
other tasks may be attempting to acquire with FUTEX_WAIT.
Because they point to userspace memory that is saved/restored by
checkpoint/restart saving the list pointers themselves is safe.
While saving the pointers is safe during checkpoint, restart is tricky
because the robust futex ABI contains provisions for changes based on
checking the size of the list head. So we need to save the length of
the list head too in order to make sure that the kernel used during
restart is capable of handling that ABI. Since there is only one ABI
supported at the moment taking the list head's size is simple. Should
the ABI change we will need to use the same size as specified during
sys_set_robust_list() and hence some new means of determining the length
of this userspace structure in sys_checkpoint would be required.
Rather than rewrite the logic that checks and handles the ABI we reuse
sys_set_robust_list() by factoring out the body of the function and
calling it during restart.

v2:
Move the save/restore into include/linux/futex.h as this would
seem to address some of the comments from the previous
posting.
Make the compat __user* 32-bits since that's all we'll ever
need for it.
Use the compat_ptr() macros instead of brute casting when
possible.
Cast the regular __user* to unsigned long first.
Tested on x86-32 applied to ckpt-v17-rc1
NOTE: The futex tests need a fix to run.sh which utilizes
pid namespaces to recreate the pids. This is necessary
because robust and pi futexes store TIDs and the
kernel uses these TIDs to implement robust futex
support. See the patch to cr_tests that will follow..
