Subject: [PATCH] add Altivec/VMX state to coredumps
Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2007 14:03:34 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46F88896.50706@au1.ibm.com> (raw)
Update dump_task_altivec() (that has so far never been put to use)
so that it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR
and VRSAVE) in the same format as the ptrace get_vrregs() and add
the appropriate glue typedefs and #defines to
include/asm-powerpc/elf.h for it to work.
