[PATCH v3] powerpc: Export thread_struct.used_vr/used_vsr to user space
From: wei . guo . simon
Date: Wed Jul 06 2016 - 22:28:03 EST
From: Simon Guo <wei.guo.simon@xxxxxxxxx>
These 2 fields track whether user process has used Altivec/VSX
registers or not. They are used by kernel to setup signal frame
on user stack correctly regarding vector part.
CRIU(Checkpoint and Restore In User space) builds signal frame
for restored process. It will need this export information to
setup signal frame correctly. And CRIU will need to restore these
2 fields for the restored process.

v2 -> v3:
- enlarge reg_usage from 32 to 64 bits
- prefix ptrace API with PPC_
v1 -> v2:
- minor change for coding style
