[PATCH -mm 17/43] powerpc CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET

2007-12-20 Thread Roland McGrath
This switches powerpc to using the user_regset-based code for ELF core dumps. The core dumps come out exactly the same either way, except that the NT_PPC_VMX note is now omitted for any thread that never touched its Altivec registers (thread_struct.vr_used). Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <[EMAIL
