    x32: Add ptrace for x32 · 55283e25
    H.J. Lu authored
    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. ]
