A register set consists of a number of + * similar slots, given by @n. Each slot is @size bytes, and aligned to + * @align bytes (which is at least @size). + * + * These functions must be called only on the current thread or on a + * thread that is in %TASK_STOPPED or %TASK_TRACED state, that we are + * guaranteed will not be woken up and return to user mode, and that we + * have called wait_task_inactive() on. (The target thread always might + * wake up for SIGKILL while these functions are working, in which case + * that thread's user_regset state might be scrambled.) + * + * The @pos argument must be aligned according to @align; the @count + * argument must be a multiple of @size. These functions are not + * responsible for checking for invalid arguments. + * + * When there is a natural value to use as an index, @bias gives the + * difference between the natural index and the slot index for the + * register set. For example, x86 GDT segment descriptors form a regset; + * the segment selector produces a natural index, but only a subset of + * that index space is available as a regset (the TLS slots); subtracting + * @bias from a segment selector index value computes the regset slot. + * + * If nonzero, @core_note_type gives the n_type field (NT_* value) + * of the core file note in which this regset's data appears. + * NT_PRSTATUS is a special case in that the regset data starts at + * offsetof(struct elf_prstatus, pr_reg) into the note data; that is + * part of the per-machine ELF formats userland knows about.
