Hmm. I don't understand this... Note that this "regs" argument has nothing
to do with t->task if the process is multithreaded,

fill_note_info(..., args) is called with args = task_pt_regs(dumper_thread).

forgot to mention... yes, this matches the fact we use a single "view"
for all threads, and we get it via task_user_regset_view(dump_task).

But this change (imo) adds even more confusion, and without the next patch
the logic looks "obviously wrong", becauase PR_REG_SIZE/etc look at
dumper_thread->cs while task_user_regset_view() checks thread flags.

Anyway I fail to understand these macros... Say, PR_REG_SIZE(S). Can't we
kill it and use regsets[0].n * regsets[0].size instead ? These numbers
should match whatever we do, if we call ->get().


Thanks, the idea of dropping PR_REG_SIZE looks better than my patch!
I'll try to drop those macros for the next revision.
