[PATCH 0/6] syscall_trace fixes and cleanups

Hello all,

This series makes a number of fixes and cleanups to the system call
tracing code on ARM, as well as fixing the interactions with audit.

The first two patches should probably go into -stable whilst the rest
can wait for later. Note that this will conflict horribly with the
tracehook code added recently (sitting in -next) and also with the
additional tracehook patch sitting in the patch system (7375/1).

I'd like to get the two stable patches in ASAP and then help with the
conflict resolution for the merge window (although other ideas welcome).
I can rebase the rest of the series as required.

I lightly tested the audit stuff and gave strace a decent run tracing
through forks.

All comments welcome,

Will
