d97b46a646 syscalls, x86: add __NR_kcmp syscall
While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine
whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are
shared between tasks and restore this state.

The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the
unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one.

One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g.  mm_struct is to
provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such
info considered to be not that good for security reasons.

Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named
'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate.  So here is it --
__NR_kcmp.

It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which
characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of
comparison of files) two file descriptors.

Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only.

At moment only x86 is supported and tested.

a591afc01d Merge branch 'x86-x32-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x32 support for x86-64 from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree introduces the X32 binary format and execution mode for x86:
  32-bit data space binaries using 64-bit instructions and 64-bit kernel
  syscalls.

  This allows applications whose working set fits into a 32 bits address
  space to make use of 64-bit instructions while using a 32-bit address
  space with shorter pointers, more compressed data structures, etc."

Fix up trivial context conflicts in arch/x86/{Kconfig,vdso/vma.c}

13354dc412 x86-32: Fix typo for mq_getsetattr in syscall table
Syscall 282 was mistakenly named mq_getsetaddr instead of mq_getsetattr.
When building uClibc against the Linux kernel this would result in a
shared library that doesn't provide the mq_getattr() and mq_setattr()
functions.

55283e2537 x32: Add ptrace for x32
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. ]

e7084fd52e x32: Switch to a 64-bit clock_t
clock_t is used mainly to give the number of jiffies a certain process
has burned.  It is entirely feasible for a long-running process to
consume more than 2^32 jiffies especially in a multiprocess system.
As such, switch to a 64-bit clock_t for x32, just as we already
switched to a 64-bit time_t.

clock_t is only used in a handful of places, and as such it is really
not a very significant change.  The one that has the biggest impact is
in struct siginfo, but since the *size* of struct siginfo doesn't
change (it is padded to the hilt) it is fairly easy to make this a
localized change.

This also gets rid of sys_x32_times, however since this is a pretty
late change don't compactify the system call numbers; we can reuse
system call slot 521 next time we need an x32 system call.

2c73ce7346 x86-64, ia32: Drop sys32_rt_sigprocmask
On x86, the only difference between sys_rt_sigprocmask and
sys32_rt_sigprocmask is the alignment of the data structures.
However, x86 allows data accesses with arbitrary alignment, and
therefore there is no reason for this code to be different.
