Subject: elfcore-compat: fix uid/gid types
From: Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxx>
I overlooked the difference between __kernel_uid_t and uid_t when defining
struct compat_elf_prpsinfo. The result is a regression in 32-bit core dumps
on x86_64, where the NT_PRPSINFO note has the wrong size and layout. This
patch fixes it.
