Nothing wrong, but imo the code and 2/2 looks simpler after this patch.

Can you leave it as is ? I just tried to make tm_cgpr_get() and gpr_get() look similar. Sure, I can leave it as is. Better yet, could you please fix this problem somehow so that I could forget about the bug assigned to me? I know nothing about powerpc, and personally I do not care about this (minor) bug, I agree with any changes. > >- membuf_write(&to, target->thread.regs, offsetof(struct pt_regs, msr)); > >- membuf_store(&to, get_user_msr(target)); > >+ membuf_write(&to, target->thread.regs, > >+ sizeof(struct user_pt_regs)); > > This should fit on a single line. > > > return membuf_zero(&to, ELF_NGREG * sizeof(unsigned long) - > >- sizeof(struct user_pt_regs)); > >+ sizeof(struct user_pt_regs)); > > This should not change, it's not part of the changes for this patch.

This matches other membuf_ helpers. Oleg.
