[PATCH V7 0/8] Add new powerpc specific ELF core notes
From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Wed Jan 14 2015 - 02:09:17 EST
This patch series adds five new ELF core note sections which can be
used with existing ptrace request PTRACE_GETREGSET-SETREGSET for accessing
various transactional memory and miscellaneous debug register sets on powerpc
platform.

RFC: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/1/292
V1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/2/43
V2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/5/88
V3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/23/486

Changes in V7:
--------------
- Fixed a config directive in the MISC code
- Merged the two gitignore patches into a single one
Changes in V6:
--------------
- Added two git ignore patches for powerpc selftests
- Re-formatted all in-code function definitions in kernel-doc format
Changes in V5:
--------------
- Changed flush_tmregs_to_thread, so not to take into account self tracing
- Dropped the 3rd patch in the series which had merged two functions
- Fixed one build problem for the misc debug register patch
- Accommodated almost all the review comments from Suka on the 6th patch
- Minor changes to the self test program
- Changed commit messages for some of the patches
Changes in V4:
--------------
- Added one test program into the powerpc selftest bucket in this regard
- Split the 2nd patch in the previous series into four different patches
- Accommodated most of the review comments on the previous patch series
- Added a patch to merge functions __switch_to_tm and tm_reclaim_task
Changes in V3:
--------------
- Added two new error paths in every TM related get/set functions when regset
support is not present on the system (ENODEV) or when the process does not
have any transaction active (ENODATA) in the context
- Installed the active hooks for all the newly added regset core note types
Changes in V2:
--------------
- Removed all the power specific ptrace requests corresponding to new NT_PPC_*
elf core note types. Now all the register sets can be accessed from ptrace
through PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET using the individual NT_PPC* core
note type instead
- Fixed couple of attribute values for REGSET_TM_CGPR register set
- Renamed flush_tmreg_to_thread as flush_tmregs_to_thread
- Fixed 32 bit checkpointed GPR support
- Changed commit messages accordingly
Test Result
-----------
The patch series has been verified both in 32 bit and 64 bit compiled test
program. Test result for the selftest test (64 bit compiled) can be found
here.
