I tested the below change with my patch. On x86_64, both 64bit and 32bit 
program can be uprobe emulated properly. On x86_32, however, there is a 
compilation error like below:

In function âcheck_copy_sizeâ,
    inlined from âcopy_to_userâ at 
/home/yhs/work/tip/include/linux/uaccess.h:154:6,
    inlined from âemulate_push_stack.isra.9â at 
/home/yhs/work/tip/arch/x86/kernel/uprobes.c:535:6:
/home/yhs/work/tip/include/linux/thread_info.h:139:4: error: call to 
â__bad_copy_fromâ declared with attribute error: copy source size is too 
small
    __bad_copy_from();

Basically, test_thread_flag(TIF_IA32) returns 0 on x86_32 system.
