From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: sparc/compat: rrovide an accurate in_compat_syscall implementation
On sparc64 compat-enabled kernels, any task can make 32-bit and 64-bit
syscalls. is_compat_task returns true in 32-bit tasks, which does not
necessarily imply that the current syscall is 32-bit.
Provide an in_compat_syscall implementation that checks whether the
current syscall is compat.
As far as I know, sparc is the only architecture on which is_compat_task
checks the compat status of the task and on which the compat status of a
syscall can differ from the compat status of the task. On x86,
is_compat_task checks the syscall type, not the task type.
