Andy reported that the syscall treacing for 32bit fast syscall fails:
# ./tools/testing/selftests/x86/ptrace_syscall_32
...
[RUN] SYSEMU
[FAIL] Initial args are wrong (nr=224, args=10 11 12 13 14 4289172732)
...
[RUN] SYSCALL
[FAIL] Initial args are wrong (nr=29, args=0 0 0 0 0 4289172732)
The eason is that the conversion to generic entry code moved the retrieval
of the sixth argument (EBP) after the point where the syscall entry work
runs, i.e. ptrace, seccomp, audit...
Unbreak it by providing a split up version of syscall_enter_from_user_mode().
- syscall_enter_from_user_mode_prepare() establishes state and enables
interrupts
- syscall_enter_from_user_mode_work() runs the entry work
Replace the call to syscall_enter_from_user_mode() in the 32bit fast
syscall C-entry with the split functions and stick the EBP retrieval
between them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
