From: Roland McGrath Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2008 22:28:30 +0000 (-0800) Subject: core dump: user_regset writeback X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc4~80 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d31472b6d4f799a68d877f69b2f843eec5875472;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git core dump: user_regset writeback This makes the user_regset-based core dump code call user_regset writeback hooks when available. This is necessary groundwork to allow IA64 to set CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET.
