This one scares me: while I can't find any system calls that directly take this as an argument, a comment in <linux/ptrace.h> " Generic ptrace interface that exports the architecture specific regsets using the corresponding NT_* types (which are also used in the core dump). Please note that the NT_PRSTATUS note type in a core dump contains a full 'struct elf_prstatus'. But the user_regset for NT_PRSTATUS contains just the elf_gregset_t that is the pr_reg field of 'struct elf_prstatus'. For all the other user_regset flavors, the user_regset layout and the ELF core dump note payload are exactly the same layout. " seems to indicate that it's possible to see this sometimes. Since this would only be visible to userspace in a somewhat convoluted manner, I'm going to try and keep it as it was.
