Bug description:
  Don't allow ptrace to set RIP to a value that couldn't happen by
  ordinary control flow. There are CPU bugs^Wfeatures that can have
  interesting effects if RIP is non-canonical. I didn't make the
  corresponding x86_32 change, since x86_32 has no concept of canonical
  addresses. putreg32 doesn't need this fix: value is only 32 bits, so
  it can't be non-canonical.
