32d9258662 syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_set_arguments() args 
After removing the start and count arguments of syscall_get_arguments() it
seems reasonable to remove them from syscall_set_arguments(). Note, as of
today, there are no users of syscall_set_arguments(). But we are told that
there will be soon. But for now, at least make it consistent with
syscall_get_arguments().

b35f549df1 syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args 
At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the
function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly
written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for
the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at
all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only
0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle
different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6
arguments of a system call.

This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace,
ftrace and perf.

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.

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.

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.

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.
