ia64 has two stacks:
- memory stack (or stack), pointed at by by r12
- register backing store (register stack), pointed at by
ar.bsp/ar.bspstore with complications around dirty
register frame on CPU.
In [1] Dmitry noticed that PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO returns the register
stack instead memory stack.
The bug comes from the fact that user_stack_pointer() and
current_user_stack_pointer() don't return the same register:
ulong user_stack_pointer(struct pt_regs *regs) { return regs->ar_bspstore; }
#define current_user_stack_pointer() (current_pt_regs()->r12)
The change gets both back in sync.
I think ptrace(PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO) is the only affected user by
this bug on ia64.
The change fixes 'rt_sigreturn.gen.test' strace test where it was
observed initially.

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.
