[PATCH] ptrace: Fix EFL_OFFSET value according to i386 pda changes
The PDA patches introduced a bug in ptrace: it reads eflags from the wrong place on the target's stack, but writes it back to the correct place. The result is a corrupted eflags, which is most visible when it turns interrupts off unexpectedly. This patch fixes this by making the ptrace code a little less fragile. It changes [gs]et_stack_long to take a straightforward byte offset into struct pt_regs, rather than requiring all callers to do a sizeof(struct pt_regs) offset adjustment. This means that the eflag's offset (EFL_OFFSET) on the target stack can be simply computed with offsetof().
