Re: [PATCH?] powerpc: Hard wire PT_SOFTE value to 1 in gpr_get() too

Hi Oleg,

Thanks for the patch.

Ugh, that certainly seems broken. I guess we forgot/didn't-know that
there were two paths through ptrace to get the one register.

That's a 404 for me?

Is it this: https://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace/tests/

That seems to point me to a CVS repo? Which then didn't build. But now I
have that one test built, and you're right it fails with:

$ ./user-regs-peekpoke 
mismatch at offset 0x138: poked 0 but peeked 1

It would be nice if we could isolate the special logic in once place,
ie. ptrace_get_reg().

We could do it like below. I'm 50/50 though on whether it's worth it, or
if we should just go with the big ifdef like in your patch.

cheers
