In https://bugs.gentoo.org/769614 Dmitry noticed that `ptrace(PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO)` does not work for syscalls called via glibc's syscall() wrapper. ia64 has two ways to call syscalls from userspace: via `break` and via `eps` instructions. The difference is in stack layout: 1. `eps` creates simple stack frame: no locals, in{0..7} == out{0..8} 2. `break` uses userspace stack frame: may be locals (glibc provides one), in{0..7} == out{0..8}. Both work fine in syscall handling cde itself. But `ptrace(PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO)` uses unwind mechanism to re-extract syscall arguments but it does not account for locals. The change always skips locals registers. It should not change `eps` path as kernel's handler already enforces locals=0 and fixes `break`. Tested on v5.10 on rx3600 machine (ia64 9040 CPU).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
