PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO lets ptracer obtain details of the syscall
the tracee is blocked in. The request returns meaningful data only
when the tracee is in a syscall-enter-stop or a syscall-exit-stop.
There are two reasons for a special syscall-related ptrace request.
Firstly, with the current ptrace API there are cases when ptracer cannot
retrieve necessary information about syscalls. Some examples include:
* The notorious int-0x80-from-64-bit-task issue. See [1] for details.
In short, if a 64-bit task performs a syscall through int 0x80, its tracer
has no reliable means to find out that the syscall was, in fact,
a compat syscall, and misidentifies it.
* Syscall-enter-stop and syscall-exit-stop look the same for the tracer.
Common practice is to keep track of the sequence of ptrace-stops in order
not to mix the two syscall-stops up. But it is not as simple as it looks;
for example, strace had a (just recently fixed) long-standing bug where
attaching strace to a tracee that is performing the execve system call
led to the tracer identifying the following syscall-exit-stop as
syscall-enter-stop, which messed up all the state tracking.
* Since the introduction of commit 84d77d3f06e7e8dea057d10e8ec77ad71f721be3
("ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm"), both PTRACE_PEEKDATA
and process_vm_readv become unavailable when the process dumpable flag
is cleared. On such architectures as ia64 this results in all syscall
arguments being unavailable.
Secondly, ptracers also have to support a lot of arch-specific code for
obtaining information about the tracee. For some architectures, this
requires a ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, ...) invocation for every syscall
argument and return value.
PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO returns the following structure:
struct ptrace_syscall_info {
__u8 op; /* 0 for entry, 1 for exit */
__u8 __pad0[7];
union {
struct {
__s32 nr;
__u32 arch;
__u64 instruction_pointer;
__u64 args[6];
} entry_info;
struct {
__s64 rval;
__u8 is_error;
__u8 __pad1[7];
} exit_info;
};
};
The structure was chosen according to [2], except for one change:
a boolean is_error field is added along with rval. This way the tracer
can more reliably distinguish a return value from an error value.
This patch should be applied on top of [3] and [4].

Changes since v1:
* Do not use task->ptrace.
* Replace entry_info.is_compat with entry_info.arch, use syscall_get_arch().
* Use addr argument of sys_ptrace to get expected size of the struct;
return full size of the struct.
