Hi! I must admit I didn't follow close the overall series (so can't
comment much here :) but I have a slightly unrelated question -- is
there a way to figure out if task is running in x32 mode say with
some ptrace or procfs sign?


You should be able to figure out of a *syscall* is x32 by simply
looking at bit 30 in the syscall number.  (This is unlike i386, which
is currently not reflected in ptrace.)


The process could be stopped with PTRACE_SEIZE and I think, it'll not
have x32 syscall bit at that moment.

I guess the question comes from that we're releasing CRIU 3.0 with
32-bit C/R and some other cool stuff, but we don't support x32 yet.
As we don't want release a thing that we aren't properly testing.
So for a while we should error on dumping x32 applications.

I'm curious: shouldn't x32 CRIU just work?  What goes wrong?

I also think, it should be quite easy to add, as we have arch_prctl() for vdso and etc.
But there are things, which will not work if we just dump application
as 64-bit.

For example, what comes to mind: sys_get_robust_list(), it has different pointers for 64-bit or for x32/ia32 applications: robust_list
and compat_robust_list. So during C/R we should sometimes call
compatible syscalls for x32 applications to dump/restore, as for futex
list e.g., native will return NULL or empty list.
