Al Viro f2485a2dc9 elf_prstatus: collect the common part (everything before pr_reg) into a struct
Preparations to doing i386 compat elf_prstatus sanely - rather than duplicating
the beginning of compat_elf_prstatus, take these fields into a separate
structure (compat_elf_prstatus_common), so that it could be reused.  Due to
the incestous relationship between binfmt_elf.c and compat_binfmt_elf.c we
need the same shape change done to native struct elf_prstatus, gathering the
fields prior to pr_reg into a new structure (struct elf_prstatus_common).

Fortunately, offset of pr_reg is always a multiple of 16 with no padding
right before it, so it's possible to turn all the stuff prior to it into
a single member without disturbing the layout.

[build fix from Geert Uytterhoeven folded in]

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
