[not real reply because I'm using a bad internet connection right now
and I'm not set up with my usual Gmane reply hack right now]

The new code is (whitespace-damaged):

static inline unsigned long get_nr_restart_syscall(const struct pt_regs *regs)
{
#if defined(CONFIG_X86_32) || !defined(CONFIG_X86_64)
 return __NR_restart_syscall;
#else /* !CONFIG_X86_32 && CONFIG_X86_64 */
 return test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) ? __NR_ia32_restart_syscall :
 __NR_restart_syscall | (regs->orig_ax & __X32_SYSCALL_BIT);
#endif /* CONFIG_X86_32 || !CONFIG_X86_64 */
}

This is IMO awful.  This use of TIF_IA32 is wrong, and this is
otherwise gross.  Can we do it for real:

if (is_ia32_task())
  return __NR_ia32_restart_syscall;
else
  return __NR_restart_syscall | (regs->orig_ax & __X32_SYSCALL_BIT);
/* preserve x32 bit */

I'd send the patch myself, but you apparently have a good test case
for this, and I don't.

(this isn't a regression, and I'm not suggesting any change for 4.4 or
for stable.  But for 4.5, can we do it right, please?)

And yes, I'll send a patch to rename is_ia32_task, but that's orthogonal.

--Andy

P.S. I'm still hoping to kill TIF_IA32 entirely some time soon.
