kernel: Implement selective syscall userspace redirection
linux commit 36a6c843fd0d8e02506681577e96dabd203dd8e8
entry: Use different define for selector variable in SUD
redirect syscalls to a userspace handler via SIGSYS, except for a specific
range of code. can be toggled via a memory write to a selector variable.
mainly for wine.

these are for the aarch64 MTE (memory tagging extension), see

prctl: PR_{G,S}ET_IO_FLUSHER to support controlling memory reclaim

per thread prctl commands to relax the syscall abi such that top bits
of user pointers are ignored in the kernel. this allows the use of
those bits by hwasan or by mte to color pointers and memory on aarch64:

allows specifying that the speculative store bypass disable bit should
be cleared on exec. see

PR_SET_MM_MAP was introduced as a subcommand for PR_SET_MM in
linux v3.18 commit f606b77f1a9e362451aca8f81d8f36a3a112139e
the associated struct type is replicated in sys/prctl.h using
libc types.
example usage:
struct prctl_mm_map *p;
...
prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_MAP, p, sizeof *p);
the kernel side supported struct size may be queried with
the PR_SET_MM_MAP_SIZE subcommand.

they can be used to set or query if transparent huge pages are disabled.
introduced in linux 3.15 commit a0715cc22601e8830ace98366c0c2bd8da52af52
