Fix linux personality syscall wrapper
The personality system call, starting with linux kernel commit v2.6.29-6609-g11d06b2a1e5658f448a308aa3beb97bacd64a940, always successfully changes the personality if requested. The syscall wrapper, however, still can return an error in the following cases: - the value returned by the system call looks like an error due to architecture limitations of 32-bit kernels; - a personality greater than 0xffffffff is passed to the system call, and the 64-bit kernel does not have commit v2.6.35-rc1-372-g485d527686850d68a0e9006dd9904f19f122485e that would truncate this value to unsigned int; - on sparc64, the value returned by the system call looks like an error due to sparc64 kernel sign extension bug. The solution is three-fold: - move generic syscalls.list personality entry to generic 64-bit syscalls.list file; - for each 32-bit architecture that use negated errno semantics, add a NOERRNO personality entry to their syscalls.list file; - for sparc64 and 32-bit architectures that use dedicated registers to flag syscall errors, add a wrapper around personality syscall; if the system call return value is flagged as an error, this wrapper returns the negated "would be errno" value, otherwise it returns the system call return value; on sparc64, it also truncates the personality argument to unsigned int before passing it to the kernel.
