Johannes Berg adf9ae0d15 um: fix stub location calculation
In commit 9f0b4807a4 ("um: rework userspace stubs to not hard-code
stub location") I changed stub_segv_handler() to do a calculation with
a pointer to a stack variable to find the data page that we're using
for the stack and the rest of the data. This same commit was meant to
do it as well for stub_clone_handler(), but the change inadvertently
went into commit 84b2789d61 ("um: separate child and parent errors
in clone stub") instead.

This was reported to not be compiled correctly by gcc 5, causing the
code to crash here. I'm not sure why, perhaps it's UB because the var
isn't initialized? In any case, this trick always seemed bad, so just
create a new inline function that does the calculation in assembly.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
