Having to synchronize the number of ctl_table array elements with the
size in the declaration can lead to discrepancies between the two
values. Since commit d7a76ec87195 ("sysctl: Remove check for sentinel
element in ctl_table arrays"), the calculation of the ctl_table array
size is done solely by the ARRAY_SIZE macro removing the need for the
size in the declaration.
Remove the size for the aligment_tbl declaration and const qualify the
array for good measure.

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)
Remove sentinel from alignment_tbl ctl_table array. This removal is safe
because register_sysctl_init implicitly uses ARRAY_SIZE() in addition to
checking for the sentinel.

Using register_sysctl_paths() is only required if we are using
leafs with entries but all we are doing is creates leafs with
just one leaf and then entries and register_sysctl_init() works
well with that already.
The 555 permission is already retained by the new_dir() proc
sysctl directory creator.

When building ARCH=csky defconfig:
arch/csky/kernel/traps.c: In function 'die':
arch/csky/kernel/traps.c:112:17: error: implicit declaration of function
'make_dead_task' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
112 | make_dead_task(SIGSEGV);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The function's name is make_task_dead(), change it so there is no more
build error.
Fixes: 0e25498f8cd4 ("exit: Add and use make_task_dead.")

There are two big uses of do_exit. The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call. The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.
Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure. In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.
Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.
As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

We prohibit non-aligned access in kernel mode, but some special NIC
driver needs to support kernel-state unaligned access. For example,
when the bus does not support unaligned access, IP header parsing
will cause non-aligned access and driver does not recopy the skb
buffer to dma for performance reasons.
Added kernel_enable & user_enable to control unaligned access and
added kernel_count & user_count for statistical unaligned access.

As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current
task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter
from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going
on.
The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a
stopped ptraced task have already been changed to
force_sig_fault_to_task.
The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)
to avoid typos:
force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)]
->
force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3)

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.
