Patch serie to extract the payload of the polling system calls on x86 and ARM
(32 and 64-bit). The concerned system calls are select, pselect6, poll, ppoll,
epoll_ctl, epoll_wait, epoll_pwait.

Changes from v2:
 - Make sure all user-controlled data is handled safely in the kernel
 - Allocate memory instead of using the stack for arbitrarily large data
 - Only extract the standard event flags and output the raw event value as hex
 - Various bugfixes from v2

This code is handled in the kernel with input coming from user-space, make sure
to review it as if it was actual system calls.

Julien Desfossez (5):
  Add ctf_integer_bitfield_type
  Extract the FD sets in select and pselect6
  Extract the FDs and flags from poll and ppoll
  Extract the payload for epoll_ctl
  Extract the payload of epoll_wait/epoll_pwait
