53c5858810 x86 ptrace: fix ptrace_bts_config structure declaration
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.

c6334593c6 x86, ptrace: overflow signal API
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, ...).

cba4b65d35 x86, ptrace: add buffer size checks
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.

a95d67f87e x86, ptrace: new ptrace BTS API
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?

eee3af4a2c x86, ptrace: support for branch trace store(BTS)
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

0fa376e027 x86: PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK
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.
