Make the x86_64-version and the i386-version of do_debug
more similar.
- introduce preempt_conditional_sti/cli to i386. The preempt-count
is now elevated during the trap handler, like on x86_64. It
does not run on a separate stack, however.
- replace an open-coded "send_sigtrap"
- copy some comments

Currently a SIGTRAP can denote any one of below reasons.
- Breakpoint hit
- H/W debug register hit
- Single step
- Signal sent through kill() or rasie()
Architectures like powerpc/parisc provides infrastructure to demultiplex
SIGTRAP signal by passing down the information for receiving SIGTRAP through
si_code of siginfot_t structure. Here is an attempt is generalise this
infrastructure by extending it to x86 and x86_64 archs.

Add asm/syscall.h for x86 with all the required entry points.
This will allow arch-independent tracing code for system calls.

This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.
The format:
1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
underscores.

This breaks up the mutual inclusion between headers ptrace.h and vm86.h
by moving some small part of vm86.h which is needed by ptrace.h into
processor-flags.h.
We also try to move #include lines to the top.
This has been compile tested on x86_32 and x86_64 defconfig, and run
through 'make headers_check'.

Polish the ds.h interface and add support for PEBS.
Ds.c is meant to be the resource allocator for per-thread and per-cpu
BTS and PEBS recording.
It is used by ptrace/utrace to provide execution tracing of debugged tasks.
It will be used by profilers (e.g. perfmon2).
It may be used by kernel debuggers to provide a kernel execution trace.
Changes in detail:
- guard DS and ptrace by CONFIG macros
- separate DS and BTS more clearly
- simplify field accesses
- add functions to manage PEBS buffers
- add simple protection/allocation mechanism
- added support for Atom
Opens:
- buffer overflow handling
Currently, only circular buffers are supported. This is all we need
for debugging. Profilers would want an overflow notification.
This is planned to be added when perfmon2 is made to use the ds.h
interface.
- utrace intermediate layer

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.

This patch renames VM_MASK to X86_VM_MASK (which
in turn defined as alias to X86_EFLAGS_VM) to better
distinguish from virtual memory flags. We can't just
use X86_EFLAGS_VM instead because it is also used
for conditional compilation

is_prefetch was the last user of get_segment_eip and only on
X86_32. This function returned the faulting instruction's
address and set the upper segment limit.
Instead, use the convert_ip_to_linear helper and rely on
probe_kernel_address to do the segment checks which was
already done everywhere the segment limit was being checked
on X86_32.
Remove get_segment_eip as well.
