If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Will Deacon commit 9cf2b72b25f3f6a5a1a46a4f36037e66de52465c upstream. The kernel's internal definition of ELF_NGREG uses struct pt_regs, which means that we disagree with userspace on the size of coredumps since glibc correctly uses the user-visible struct user_pt_regs. This patch fixes our ELF_NGREG definition to use struct user_pt_regs and introduces our own ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS to convert between the user and kernel structure definitions.
