    [PATCH] x86-64 updates for 2.5.54 · 717db2f9

    More x86-64 updates for 2.5.54.  Most noticeable change is that the
    64bit X server works again.
    
    This only changes x86-64 specific files.  It requires some AGP driver
    changes I'm sending separately.
    
     - Some Makefile cleanups from Sam Ravnborg
     - Make sure extended registers in 32bit processes are zeroed and not
       accessible/changeable from ptrace.  This is to avoid potential
       security bugs with non 64bit clean 32bit emulation functions (they
       often are overflow prone etc.)
     - Some 32bit emulation cleanups from Stephen Rothwell
     - Make copy_*_user source const to fix warnings.
     - Set fs/gs to dummy values when the 64bit segment base is set to not
       confuse the context switch (Karsten Keil, me)
    	* still one mysterious bug in this area unfortunately.
     - Make MAP_32BIT for 64bit processes only map in the first 31bit,
       because it is usually used to map small model code.  This fixes the X
       server crashes.  Some cleanups in this area.
     - Don't set O_LARGEFILE for 32bit open
     - Handle ptregs calls from 32bit syscall correctly.
     - Implement aio io_getevents for 32bit.
     - Remove buggy unused command handler in nfsd 32bit emulation.
     - Convert timespec in semtimedop (thanks to Anton for telling me about
       this)
     - Ignore long mode flag from 32bit modify_ldt.  This fixes Wine, which
       left it uninitialized (bug found by Karsten Keil)
     - Merge with i386
     - Handle new kallsyms
     - Remove some superfluous bootup printks
