From 27e64b4be4b863d884f3ec1686a2f744ae93a1b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Martin Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2017 15:50:53 +0000 Subject: regset: Add support for dynamically sized regsets Currently the regset API doesn't allow for the possibility that regsets (or at least, the amount of meaningful data in a regset) may change in size. In particular, this results in useless padding being added to coredumps if a regset's current size is smaller than its theoretical maximum size. This patch adds a get_size() function to struct user_regset. Individual regset implementations can implement this function to return the current size of the regset data. A regset_size() function is added to provide callers with an abstract interface for determining the size of a regset without needing to know whether the regset is dynamically sized or not. The only affected user of this interface is the ELF coredump code: This patch ports ELF coredump to dump regsets with their actual size in the coredump. This has no effect except for new regsets that are dynamically sized and provide a get_size() implementation.
