From 5bde4d181793be84351bc21c256d8c71cfcd313a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:31:47 +0100 Subject: x86: user_regset user-copy helpers This defines two new inlines in linux/regset.h, for use in arch_ptrace implementations and the like. These provide simplified wrappers for using the user_regset interfaces to copy thread regset data into the caller's user-space memory. The inlines are trivial, but make the common uses in places such as ptrace implementation much more concise, easier to read, and less prone to code-copying errors.
