x86 tracehook

x86 tracehook

[Roland McGrath]

Hi!  The generic tracehook patches were merged, so now the arch stuff
can go in any time.  These are the pending x86 changes.  The only
difference from what I posted before are fixing up some tiny syntax
nits in syscall.h that made gcc-3.x unhappy.

Sorry Ingo, I had already done this with git-rebase before I read your
admonition about that today.  (Anyway, the prerequisite tracehook
series went in via patches rather than a GIT merge, so I don't think
the x86/tracehook branch forked from my own tracehook branch could
still have been used.)

The following changes since commit 8be1a6d6c77ab4532e4476fdb8177030ef48b52c:
  Linus Torvalds (1):
        Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/.../roland/infiniband

that's OK. It only gets painful once someone starts relying on a branch.

pulled into tip/x86/tracehook - thanks Roland!
