    introduction of regset ->get() wrappers, switching ELF coredumps to those · b4e9c954
    Al Viro authored
    Two new helpers: given a process and regset, dump into a buffer.
    regset_get() takes a buffer and size, regset_get_alloc() takes size
    and allocates a buffer.
    
    Return value in both cases is the amount of data actually dumped in
    case of success or -E...  on error.
    
    In both cases the size is capped by regset->n * regset->size, so
    ->get() is called with offset 0 and size no more than what regset
    expects.
    
    binfmt_elf.c callers of ->get() are switched to using those; the other
    caller (copy_regset_to_user()) will need some preparations to switch.
