[PATCH V4 7/8] powerpc, ptrace: Enable support for miscellaneous debug registers

Anshuman Khandual khandual at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Tue Nov 11 16:26:36 AEDT 2014


This patch enables get and set of miscellaneous debug 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.
