Dominik Brodowski ebeb8c82ff syscalls/x86: Use 'struct pt_regs' based syscall calling for IA32_EMULATION and x32
Extend ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER for i386 emulation and for x32 on 64-bit
x86.

For x32, all we need to do is to create an additional stub for each
compat syscall which decodes the parameters in x86-64 ordering, e.g.:

	asmlinkage long __compat_sys_x32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		return c_SyS_xyzzy(regs->di, regs->si, regs->dx);
	}

For i386 emulation, we need to teach compat_sys_*() to take struct
pt_regs as its only argument, e.g.:

	asmlinkage long __compat_sys_ia32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		return c_SyS_xyzzy(regs->bx, regs->cx, regs->dx);
	}

In addition, we need to create additional stubs for common syscalls
(that is, for syscalls which have the same parameters on 32-bit and
64-bit), e.g.:

	asmlinkage long __sys_ia32_xyzzy(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		return c_sys_xyzzy(regs->bx, regs->cx, regs->dx);
	}

This approach avoids leaking random user-provided register content down
the call chain.

This patch is based on an original proof-of-concept

and was split up and heavily modified by me, in particular to base it on
ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER.
