Subject: [PATCH v4 3/4] x86: introduce TS_COMPAT_RESTART to fix

The comment in get_nr_restart_syscall() says:

	 * The problem is that we can get here when ptrace pokes
	 * syscall-like values into regs even if we're not in a syscall
	 * at all.

Yes. but if we are not in syscall then the

	status & (TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED)

check below can't really help:

	- TS_COMPAT can't be set

	- TS_I386_REGS_POKED is only set if regs->orig_ax was changed by
	  32bit debugger; and even in this case get_nr_restart_syscall()
	  is only correct if the tracee is 32bit too.

Suppose that 64bit debugger plays with 32bit tracee and

	* Tracee calls sleep(2)	// TS_COMPAT is set
	* User interrupts the tracee by CTRL-C after 1 sec and does
	  "(gdb) call func()"
	* gdb saves the regs by PTRACE_GETREGS
	* does PTRACE_SETREGS to set %rip='func' and %orig_rax=-1
	* PTRACE_CONT		// TS_COMPAT is cleared
	* func() hits int3.
	* Debugger catches SIGTRAP.
	* Restore original regs by PTRACE_SETREGS.
	* PTRACE_CONT

get_nr_restart_syscall() wrongly returns __NR_restart_syscall==219, the
tracee calls ia32_sys_call_table[219] == sys_madvise.

This patch adds the sticky TS_COMPAT_RESTART flag which survives after
return to user mode, hopefully it allows us to kill TS_I386_REGS_POKED
but this needs another patch.

Test-case:

  $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs:anoncvs@...rceware.org:/cvs/systemtap co ptrace-tests
  $ gcc -o erestartsys-trap-debuggee ptrace-tests/tests/erestartsys-trap-debuggee.c --m32
  $ gcc -o erestartsys-trap-debugger ptrace-tests/tests/erestartsys-trap-debugger.c -lutil
  $ ./erestartsys-trap-debugger
  Unexpected: retval 1, errno 22
  erestartsys-trap-debugger: ptrace-tests/tests/erestartsys-trap-debugger.c:421
