+/**
+ * struct user_regset - accessible thread CPU state
+ * @n: Number of slots (registers).
+ * @size: Size in bytes of a slot (register).
+ * @align: Required alignment, in bytes.
+ * @bias: Bias from natural indexing.
+ * @core_note_type: ELF note @n_type value used in core dumps.
+ * @get: Function to fetch values.
+ * @set: Function to store values.
+ * @active: Function to report if regset is active, or %NULL.
+ * @writeback: Function to write data back to user memory, or %NULL.
+ *
+ * This data structure describes a machine resource we call a register set.
+ * This is part of the state of an individual thread, not necessarily
+ * actual CPU registers per se. A register set consists of a number of
+ * similar slots, given by @n. Each slot is @size bytes, and aligned to
+ * @align bytes (which is at least @size).
+ *
+ * These functions must be called only on the current thread or on a
+ * thread that is in %TASK_STOPPED or %TASK_TRACED state, that we are
+ * guaranteed will not be woken up and return to user mode, and that we
+ * have called wait_task_inactive() on. (The target thread always might
+ * wake up for SIGKILL while these functions are working, in which case
+ * that thread's user_regset state might be scrambled.)
+ *
+ * The @pos argument must be aligned according to @align; the @count
+ * argument must be a multiple of @size. These functions are not
+ * responsible for checking for invalid arguments.
+ *
+ * When there is a natural value to use as an index, @bias gives the
+ * difference between the natural index and the slot index for the
+ * register set. For example, x86 GDT segment descriptors form a regset;
+ * the segment selector produces a natural index, but only a subset of
+ * that index space is available as a regset (the TLS slots); subtracting
+ * @bias from a segment selector index value computes the regset slot.
+ *
+ * If nonzero, @core_note_type gives the n_type field (NT_* value)
+ * of the core file note in which this regset's data appears.
+ * NT_PRSTATUS is a special case in that the regset data starts at
+ * offsetof(struct elf_prstatus, pr_reg) into the note data; that is
+ * part of the per-machine ELF formats userland knows about. In
+ * other cases, the core file note contains exactly the whole regset
+ * (@n * @size) and nothing else. The core file note is normally
+ * omitted when there is an @active function and it returns zero.
