we only use that to tell copy_thread() done by syscall from that
done by kernel_thread(). However, it's easier to do simply by
checking PF_KTHREAD in thread flags.

Randy Dunlap reports that we get
arch/x86/um/shared/sysdep/ptrace.h:7:20: error: redefinition of 'regs_return_value'
arch/x86/um/shared/sysdep/ptrace.h:7:20: note: previous definition of 'regs_return_value' was here
when compiling UML for x86-64.
Stephen Rothwell root-caused it and says:
"Caused by commit d7e7528bcd ("Audit: push audit success and retcode
into arch ptrace.h") (another patch that was never in linux-next :-().
This file now needs protection against double inclusion."
so let's do as the man says.

The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to
supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was.
Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things
by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating
success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid
pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the
layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it
in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to
determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic
is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the
value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a
separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure.
We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines
instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void*
for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct
pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit
function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the
arch correct structure to dereference it.
The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we
change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure.
THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it
makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs.
In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old
audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro
regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this
patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3].
For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the
regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is
always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative
before calling the audit code when appropriate.

it's x86-only and we have no business playing with it in asm/mmu.h; make
the latter have
struct uml_arch_mm_context arch;
instead of
struct uml_ldt ldt;
and let arch/<subarch>/um/asm/mm_context.h decide what'll be in there.
While we are at it, kill host_ldt.h - it's not needed in part of places
that include it (we want asm/ldt.h in those) and it can be trivially
expanded into the single remaining one.

it's i386-specific; moreover, analogs on other targets have
incompatible interface - PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA does exist
elsewhere, but struct user_desc does *not*
