This unifies and cleans up the syscall tracing code on i386 and x86_64.
Using a single function for entry and exit tracing on 32-bit made the
do_syscall_trace() into some terrible spaghetti. The logic is clear and
simple using separate syscall_trace_enter() and syscall_trace_leave()
functions as on 64-bit.
The unification adds PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP support
on x86_64, for 32-bit ptrace() callers and for 64-bit ptrace() callers
tracing either 32-bit or 64-bit tasks. It behaves just like 32-bit.
Changing syscall_trace_enter() to return the syscall number shortens
all the assembly paths, while adding the SYSEMU feature in a simple way.

The 2.6.25 ptrace_bts_config structure in asm-x86/ptrace-abi.h
is defined with u32 types:
#include <asm/types.h>
/* configuration/status structure used in PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG and
PTRACE_BTS_STATUS commands.
*/
struct ptrace_bts_config {
/* requested or actual size of BTS buffer in bytes */
u32 size;
/* bitmask of below flags */
u32 flags;
/* buffer overflow signal */
u32 signal;
/* actual size of bts_struct in bytes */
u32 bts_size;
};
#endif
But u32 is only accessible in asm-x86/types.h if __KERNEL__,
leading to compile errors when ptrace.h is included from
user-space. The double-underscore versions that are exported
to user-space in asm-x86/types.h should be used instead.

Establish the user API for sending a user-defined signal to the traced task on a BTS buffer overflow.
This should complete the user API for the BTS ptrace extension.
The patches so far implement wrap-around overflow handling as is needed for debugging.
The remaining open is another overflow handling mechanism that sends a signal to the traced task on a buffer overflow.
This will take some more time from my side.
Since, from a user perspective, this occurs behind the scenes, the patch set should already be useful. More features may/will be added on top of it (overflow signal, pageable back-up buffers, kernel tracing, core file support, profiling, ...).

Pass the buffer size for (most) ptrace commands that pass user-allocated buffers and check that size before accessing the buffer. Unfortunately, PTRACE_BTS_GET already uses all 4 parameters.
Commands that access user buffers return the number of bytes or records read or written.

Here's the new ptrace BTS API that supports two different overflow handling mechanisms (wrap-around and buffer-full-signal) to support two different use cases (debugging and profiling).
It further combines buffer allocation and configuration.
Opens:
- memory rlimit
- overflow signal
What would be the right signal to use?

Resend using different mail client
Changes to the last version:
- split implementation into two layers: ds/bts and ptrace
- renamed TIF's
- save/restore ds save area msr in __switch_to_xtra()
- make block-stepping only look at BTF bit

This adds the PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK request on x86, matching the ia64 feature.
The implementation comes from the generic ptrace code and relies on the
low-level machine support provided by arch_has_block_step() et al.
