[PATCH v2 07/12] powerpc/ptrace: Expose DEXCR and HDEXCR registers to ptrace

[Benjamin Gray]

The DEXCR register is of interest when ptracing processes. Currently it
is static, but eventually will be dynamically controllable by a process.
If a process can control its own, then it is useful for it to be
ptrace-able to (e.g., for checkpoint-restore functionality).

It is also relevant to core dumps (the NPHIE aspect in particular),
which use the ptrace mechanism (or is it the other way around?) to
decide what to dump. The HDEXCR is useful here too, as the NPHIE aspect
may be set in the HDEXCR without being set in the DEXCR. Although the
HDEXCR is per-cpu and we don't track it in the task struct (it's useless
in normal operation), it would be difficult to imagine why a hypervisor
would set it to different values within a guest. A hypervisor cannot
safely set NPHIE differently at least, as that would break programs.

Expose a read-only view of the userspace DEXCR and HDEXCR to ptrace.
The HDEXCR is always readonly, and is useful for diagnosing the core
dumps (as the HDEXCR may set NPHIE without the DEXCR setting it).
