x32: Add ptrace for x32
X32 ptrace is a hybrid of 64bit ptrace and compat ptrace with 32bit address and longs. It use 64bit ptrace to access the full 64bit registers. PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR are only allowed to access segment and debug registers. PTRACE_PEEKUSR returns the lower 32bits and PTRACE_POKEUSR zero-extends 32bit value to 64bit. It works since the upper 32bits of segment and debug registers of x32 process are always zero. GDB only uses PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR to access segment and debug registers. [ hpa: changed TIF_X32 test to use !is_ia32_task() instead, and moved the system call number to the now-unused 521 slot. ] Signed-off-by: "H.J. Lu" <hjl.tools@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: H.
