a95d67f87e x86, ptrace: new ptrace BTS API
Here's the new ptrace BTS API that supports two different overflow handling mechanisms (wrap-around and buffer-full-signal) to support two different use cases (debugging and profiling).

It further combines buffer allocation and configuration.

Opens:
- memory rlimit
- overflow signal

What would be the right signal to use?

eee3af4a2c x86, ptrace: support for branch trace store(BTS)
Resend using different mail client

Changes to the last version:
- split implementation into two layers: ds/bts and ptrace
- renamed TIF's
- save/restore ds save area msr in __switch_to_xtra()
- make block-stepping only look at BTF bit

cbc9d9d982 x86: x86 ptrace merge complete
This switches over the 64-bit build to use the shared ptrace code,
instead of the old ptrace_64.c and arch/x86/ia32/ptrace32.c code.

35d0991ffa x86: eflags enum
This removes the EF_* enum from <asm/ptrace.h>.  It is no longer used,
and duplicates the X86_EFLAGS_* constants from <asm/processor-flags.h>.

65ea5b0349 x86: rename the struct pt_regs members for 32/64-bit consistency
We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific
members of structures that contain registers.  In order to enable
additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix
from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes
for segment registers on the 32-bit side.

This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional
places that might be candidates for unification in the future.

10faa81e10 x86: debugctlmsr arch_has_block_step
This implements user-mode step-until-branch on x86 using the BTF bit
in MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR.  It's just like single-step, only less so.

962ff3804d x86: x86-64 ptrace debugreg cleanup
This cleans up the 64-bit ptrace code to separate the guts of the
debug register access from the implementation of PTRACE_PEEKUSR and
PTRACE_POKEUSR.  The new functions ptrace_[gs]et_debugreg are made
global so that the ia32 code can later be changed to call them too.

7f232343e0 x86: arch_has_single_step
This defines the new standard arch_has_single_step macro.  It makes the
existing set_singlestep and clear_singlestep entry points global, and
renames them to the new standard names user_enable_single_step and
user_disable_single_step, respectively.

efd1ca52d0 x86: TLS cleanup
This consolidates the four different places that implemented the same
encoding magic for the GDT-slot 32-bit TLS support.  The old tls32.c was
renamed and is now only slightly modified to be the shared implementation.
