Al Viro b4e9c9549f introduction of regset ->get() wrappers, switching ELF coredumps to those
Two new helpers: given a process and regset, dump into a buffer.
regset_get() takes a buffer and size, regset_get_alloc() takes size
and allocates a buffer.

Return value in both cases is the amount of data actually dumped in
case of success or -E...  on error.

In both cases the size is capped by regset->n * regset->size, so
->get() is called with offset 0 and size no more than what regset
expects.

binfmt_elf.c callers of ->get() are switched to using those; the other
caller (copy_regset_to_user()) will need some preparations to switch.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
