x86: make traps on entry code be debuggable in user space, 64-bit
Unify the x86-64 behavior for 32-bit processes that set bogus %cs/%ss values (the only ones that can fault in iret) match what the native i386 behavior is. (do not kill the task via do_exit but generate a SIGSEGV signal) [ tglx@linutronix.de: build fix ] Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
