[patch v2 3/4] x86, ptrace: prepare regset get/set routines for user specified lengths

From: Suresh Siddha
Date: Tue Feb 09 2010 - 15:28:33 EST


Prepare the x86 regset routines for the upcoming generic
PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands. These commands allow the user
to specify how much to read and hence the kernel needs to ensure that
the get/set routines of the regset don't allow the user to access more kernel
buffers than needed.
