[PATCH 15/17] arm: user_regset: thread pointer in core dumps

From: Roland McGrath
Date: Fri Apr 24 2009 - 20:16:25 EST


This wires up a proper user_regset for the $tp special register.
It will appear in ELF core dumps in its own tiny note of the new
type NT_ARM_TP. The note will be omitted if $tp was 0.
