Subject: [Linux-ia64] IA-32 emulation issues

I ran some IA-32 test suites last week that uncovered a bunch of issues
in the IA-32 emulation layer that I wanted to report here. 

a) semctl doesn't check for bad cmd

b) getdents64 - the system call succeeds, but glibc sets EOVERFLOW. We
   may want to think about getting rid of "struct linux32_dirent" at
   some point.

History from glibc sources:

/* The getdents64 syscall was introduced in 2.4.0-test7.  We test for
   2.4.1 for the earliest version we know the syscall is available.  */
#if __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION >= 132097
# define __ASSUME_GETDENTS64_SYSCALL    1
#endif

c) readv and iov_len 

Single UNIX spec says that readv should return:

[EINVAL]
The sum of the iov_len values in the iov array overflowed an ssize_t.

The following (untested) patch should fix it. There may be a case for
moving this check into userland.

d) msgctl(id, IPC_STAT, &buf) does't behave as expected

This seems to be related to linux/ipc.h:

#if defined(__ia64__) || defined(__hppa__)
  /* On IA-64 and PA-RISC, we always use the "64-bit version" of the IPC structures.  */ 
# define ipc_parse_version(cmd)	IPC_64
#else
int ipc_parse_version (int *cmd);
#endif

However, sys_ia32.c:msgctl32 does a version check against IPC_64 to
figure out whether to use struct msqid_ds or msqid64_ds. I think it
should always be using msqid64_ds, given the above comment.
