[PATCH v3 01/28] regset: Add support for dynamically sized regsets

2017-10-10 Thread Dave Martin
Currently the regset API doesn't allow for the possibility that regsets (or at least, the amount of meaningful data in a regset) may change in size. In particular, this results in useless padding being added to coredumps in a regset's current size is smaller than its theoretical maximum size.
