Richard Guy Briggs 1002d94d30 syscall.h: fix doc text for syscall_get_arch()
syscall_get_arch() used to take a task as a argument.  It now uses
current.  Fix the doc text.

Eric Paris 5e937a9ae9 syscall_get_arch: remove useless function arguments
Every caller of syscall_get_arch() uses current for the task and no
implementors of the function need args.  So just get rid of both of
those things.  Admittedly, since these are inline functions we aren't
wasting stack space, but it just makes the prototypes better.

Will Drewry 07bd18d00d asm/syscall.h: add syscall_get_arch
Adds a stub for a function that will return the AUDIT_ARCH_* value
appropriate to the supplied task based on the system call convention.

For audit's use, the value can generally be hard-coded at the
audit-site.  However, for other functionality not inlined into syscall
entry/exit, this makes that information available.  seccomp_filter is
the first planned consumer and, as such, the comment indicates a tie to
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER.

Roland McGrath 268e46712d asm-generic: syscall_get_nr returns int
Only 32 bits of system call number are meaningful, so make the
specification for syscall_get_nr() be to return int, not long.

Roland McGrath 828c365cc8 tracehook: asm/syscall.h
This adds asm-generic/syscall.h, which documents what a real
asm-ARCH/syscall.h file should define.  This is not used yet, but will
provide all the machine-dependent details of examining a user system call
about to begin, in progress, or just ended.

Each arch should add an asm-ARCH/syscall.h that defines all the entry
points documented in asm-generic/syscall.h, as short inlines if possible.
This lets us write new tracing code that understands user system call
registers, without any new arch-specific work.
