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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
