[PATCH V2 3/3] powerpc, ptrace: Enable support for miscellaneous registers

Mon May 5 17:54:29 EST 2014


This patch enables get and set of miscellaneous registers through ptrace
PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET interface by implementing new powerpc
specific register set REGSET_MISC support corresponding to the new ELF
core note NT_PPC_MISC added previously in this regard.
