Subject: [102/129] x86-64, compat: Retruncate rax after ia32 syscall entry tracing

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Roland McGrath <roland@...hat.com>

commit eefdca043e8391dcd719711716492063030b55ac upstream.

In commit d4d6715, we reopened an old hole for a 64-bit ptracer touching a
32-bit tracee in system call entry.  A %rax value set via ptrace at the
entry tracing stop gets used whole as a 32-bit syscall number, while we
only check the low 32 bits for validity.

Fix it by truncating %rax back to 32 bits after syscall_trace_enter,
in addition to testing the full 64 bits as has already been added.
