Now that there are no more special cases in sys32_ptrace, we
can convert to using the generic compat_sys_ptrace entry point.
The sys32_ptrace function gets simpler and becomes compat_arch_ptrace.

The previous "x86_64 ia32 ptrace vs -ENOSYS" fix only covered
the int $0x80 system call entries. This does the same fix
for the sysenter and syscall instruction paths.

When we're stopped at syscall entry tracing, ptrace can change the %eax
value from -ENOSYS to something else. If no system call is actually made
because the syscall number (now in orig_eax) is bad, then the %eax value
set by ptrace should be returned to the user. But, instead it gets reset
to -ENOSYS again. This is a regression from the native 32-bit kernel.
This change fixes it by leaving the return value alone after entry tracing.

This consolidates the four different places that implemented the same
encoding magic for the GDT-slot 32-bit TLS support. The old tls32.c was
renamed and is now only slightly modified to be the shared implementation.

This changes the 64-bit kernel's support for the 32-bit sysenter
instruction to use stored fields rather than constants for the
user-mode return address, as the 32-bit kernel does. This adds a
sysenter_return field to struct thread_info, as 32-bit has. There
is no observable effect from this yet. It makes the assembly code
independent of the 32-bit vDSO mapping address, paving the way for
making the vDSO address vary as it does on the 32-bit kernel.

[ jdike - Pushing Chuck's patch - see
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/9/16/261 for some history and a test
program. UML is also broken without this patch - its processes get
SIGBUS from the corrupt 6th argument to mmap being interpretted as a
file offset ]
When the 32-bit vDSO is used to make a system call, the %ebp register for
the 6th syscall arg has to be loaded from the user stack (where it's pushed
by the vDSO user code). The native i386 kernel always does this before
stopping for syscall tracing, so %ebp can be seen and modified via ptrace
to access the 6th syscall argument. The x86-64 kernel fails to do this,
presenting the stack address to ptrace instead. This makes the %rbp value
seen by 64-bit ptrace of a 32-bit process, and the %ebp value seen by a
32-bit caller of ptrace, both differ from the native i386 behavior.
This patch fixes the problem by putting the word loaded from the user stack
into %rbp before calling syscall_trace_enter, and reloading the 6th syscall
argument from there afterwards (so ptrace can change it). This makes the
behavior match that of i386 kernels.
