I gave your x86/ptrace branch a try:

 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git/log/?h=x86/ptrace

(this looks to be the same patch set.)

Unfortunately, with gdb git master, I still get the
64-bit ptracer x 32-bit ptracee problem:

 (gdb) r
 Starting program: interrupt.32 
 talk to me baby
 ^C

 Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
 0xf7fd9d09 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
 (gdb) p func1 ()
 $1 = 4
 (gdb) c
 Continuing.
 Unknown error 512
 [Inferior 1 (process 2198) exited with code 01]
 (gdb) q

Is this expected?

This is the same testcase as before:
