110 * struct user_regset - accessible thread CPU state
111 * @n: Number of slots (registers).
112 * @size: Size in bytes of a slot (register).
113 * @align: Required alignment, in bytes.
114 * @bias: Bias from natural indexing.
115 * @core_note_type: ELF note @n_type value used in core dumps.
116 * @get: Function to fetch values.
117 * @set: Function to store values.
118 * @active: Function to report if regset is active, or %NULL.
119 * @writeback: Function to write data back to user memory, or %NULL.
121 * This data structure describes a machine resource we call a register set.
122 * This is part of the state of an individual thread, not necessarily
123 * actual CPU registers per se. A register set consists of a number of
124 * similar slots, given by @n. Each slot is @size bytes, and aligned to
125 * @align bytes (which is at least @size).
127 * These functions must be called only on the current thread or on a
128 * thread that is in %TASK_STOPPED or %TASK_TRACED state, that we are
129 * guaranteed will not be woken up and return to user mode, and that we
130 * have called wait_task_inactive() on. (The target thread always might
131 * wake up for SIGKILL while these functions are working, in which case
132 * that thread's user_regset state might be scrambled.)
134 * The @pos argument must be aligned according to @align; the @count
135 * argument must be a multiple of @size. These functions are not
136 * responsible for checking for invalid arguments.
138 * When there is a natural value to use as an index, @bias gives the
139 * difference between the natural index and the slot index for the
140 * register set. For example, x86 GDT segment descriptors form a regset;
141 * the segment selector produces a natural index, but only a subset of
142 * that index space is available as a regset (the TLS slots); subtracting
143 * @bias from a segment selector index value computes the regset slot.
145 * If nonzero, @core_note_type gives the n_type field (NT_* value)
146 * of the core file note in which this regset's data appears.
147 * NT_PRSTATUS is a special case in that the regset data starts at
148 * offsetof(struct elf_prstatus, pr_reg) into the note data; that is
149 * part of the per-machine ELF formats userland knows about. In
150 * other cases, the core file note contains exactly the whole regset
151 * (@n * @size) and nothing else. The core file note is normally
152 * omitted when there is an @active function and it returns zero.

175 * A regset view is a collection of regsets (&struct user_regset,

177 * from a given architecture/ABI environment. More than one view might
178 * refer to the same &struct user_regset, or more than one regset
179 * might refer to the same machine-specific state in the thread. For
180 * example, a 32-bit thread's state could be examined from the 32-bit
181 * view or from the 64-bit view. Either method reaches the same thread
182 * register state, doing appropriate widening or truncation.

217 * Each call updates the arguments to point past its chunk.
