    [IA64] fix ia64 syscall auditing · 446b8831
    David Woodhouse authored
    Attached is a patch against David's audit.17 kernel that adds checks
    for the TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT thread flag to the ia64 system call and
    signal handling code paths.  The patch enables auditing of system
    calls set up via fsys_bubble_down, as well as ensuring that
    audit_syscall_exit() is called on return from sigreturn.
    
    Neglecting to check for TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT at these points results in
    incorrect information in audit_context, causing frequent system panics
    when system call auditing is enabled on an ia64 system.
    
    I have tested this patch and have seen no problems with it.
