There was a "off by one quad word" error in there. I don't think it is
exploitable because it will only store into a unused area, but better to plug
it.

Allowed user programs to set a non canonical segment base, which would cause
oopses in the kernel later.

Convert most of the current code that uses _NSIG directly to instead use
valid_signal(). This avoids gcc -W warnings and off-by-one errors.

We were calling ptrace_notify() after auditing the syscall and arguments,
but the debugger could have _changed_ them before the syscall was actually
invoked. Reorder the calls to fix that.
While we're touching ever call to audit_syscall_entry(), we also make it
take an extra argument: the architecture of the syscall which was made,
because some architectures allow more than one type of syscall.
Also add an explicit success/failure flag to audit_syscall_exit(), for
the benefit of architectures which return that in a condition register
rather than only returning a single register.
Change type of syscall return value to 'long' not 'int'.

Ported from i386/Linus
Still won't handle other TF changing instructions like IRET or LAHF.
Prefix handling must be double checked...

Ported from i386 (originally from Linus)
clean up ptrace single-stepping, make PT_DTRACE exact.
(This makes the naming of "DTRACE" purely historical, since
on x86 it now means "single step in progress").

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
