Subject: [patch 2/3] x86, ptrace: simplify xstateregs_get()
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:51:33 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100222225240.494688491@sbs-t61.sc.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100222225240.397523600@sbs-t61.sc.intel.com>
[-- Attachment #1: simplify_xstateregs_get.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2068 bytes --]
48 bytes (bytes 464..511) of the xstateregs payload come from the
kernel defined structure (xstate_fx_sw_bytes). Rest comes from the
xstate regs structure in the thread struct. Instead of having multiple
user_regset_copyout()'s, simplify the xstateregs_get() by first
copying the SW bytes into the xstate regs structure in the thread structure
and then using one user_regset_copyout() to copyout the xstateregs.
