OK, here, I updated my patch.

Thank you,


x86: add pt_regs register and stack access APIs

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add following APIs for accessing registers and stack entries from pt_regs.
These APIs are required by kprobes-based event tracer on ftrace.
Some other debugging tools might be able to use it too.

- regs_query_register_offset(const char *name)
   Query the offset of "name" register.

- regs_query_register_name(unsigned offset)
   Query the name of register by its offset.

- regs_get_register(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned offset)
   Get the value of a register by its offset.

- regs_within_kernel_stack(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long addr)
   Check the address is in the kernel stack.

- regs_get_kernel_stack_nth(struct pt_regs *reg, unsigned nth)
   Get Nth entry of the kernel stack. (N >= 0)

- regs_get_argument_nth(struct pt_regs *reg, unsigned nth)
   Get Nth argument at function call. (N >= 0)

Changes from v10:
 - Use an offsetof table in regs_get_argument_nth().
