Joachim Eastwood reports that commit fbfb872f5f "ARM: 8148/1: flush
TLS and thumbee register state during exec" causes a boot-time crash
on a Cortex-M4 nommu system:

The problem is that set_tls is attempting to clear the TLS location in
the kernel-user helper page, which isn't set up on V7M.
Fix this by guarding the write to the kuser helper page with
a CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS ifdef.

The TPIDRURO and TPIDRURW registers need to be flushed during exec;
otherwise TLS information is potentially leaked. TPIDRURO in
particular needs careful treatment. Since flush_thread basically
needs the same code used to set the TLS in arm_syscall, pull that into
a common set_tls helper in tls.h and use it in both places.
Similarly, TEEHBR needs to be cleared during exec as well. Clearing
its save slot in thread_info isn't right as there is no guarantee
that a thread switch will occur before the new program runs. Just
setting the register directly is sufficient.

Since commit 6a1c53124a the user writeable TLS register was zeroed to
prevent it from being used as a covert channel between two tasks.
There are more and more applications coming to Windows RT,
Wine could support them, but mostly they expect to have
the thread environment block (TEB) in TPIDRURW.
This patch preserves that register per thread instead of clearing it.
Unlike the TPIDRURO, which is already switched, the TPIDRURW
can be updated from userspace so needs careful treatment in the case that we
modify TPIDRURW and call fork(). To avoid this we must always read
TPIDRURW in copy_thread.

TPIDRURW is a user read/write register forming part of the group of
thread registers in more recent versions of the ARM architecture (~v6+).
Currently, the kernel does not touch this register, which allows tasks
to communicate covertly by reading and writing to the register without
context-switching affecting its contents.
This patch clears TPIDRURW when TPIDRURO is updated via the set_tls
macro, which is called directly from __switch_to. Since the current
behaviour makes the register useless to userspace as far as thread
pointers are concerned, simply clearing the register (rather than saving
and restoring it) will not cause any problems to userspace.

If CONFIG_CPU_V6 is enabled, we may or may not have the TLS register.
Use the conditional code which copes with this variability. Otherwise,
if CONFIG_CPU_32v6K is set, we know we have the TLS register on all
supported CPUs, so use it unconditionally.

The TLS register is only available on ARM1136 r1p0 and later.
Set HWCAP_TLS flags if hardware TLS is available and test for
it if CONFIG_CPU_32v6K is not set for V6.
Note that we set the TLS instruction in __kuser_get_tls
dynamically as suggested by Jamie Lokier <jamie@shareable.org>.
Also the __switch_to code is optimized out in most cases as
suggested by Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>.
