Currently core file of aarch32 process prstatus note has empty registers set. As result aarch32 core files create by V8 kernel are not very useful. It happens because compat_gpr_get and compat_gpr_set functions can copy registers values to/from either kbuf or ubuf. ELF core file collection function fill_thread_core_info calls compat_gpr_get with kbuf set and ubuf set to 0. But current compat_gpr_get and compat_gpr_set function handle copy to/from only ubuf case. Fix is to handle kbuf and ubuf as two separate cases in similar way as other functions like user_regset_copyout, user_regset_copyin do.
