Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/ptrace: remove BUG_ON when full register set not available
Date: Tue, 01 Mar 2011 14:26:44 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1299011204.28753.8.camel@w500> (raw)

In some cases during a threaded core dump not all 
the threads will have a full register set.  This
will cause problems when the sigkill is sent to
the thread.  To solve this problem a poison value
(0xdeadbeef) will be placed in the buffer in place 
of the actual register values.  This will affect
gpr14 to gpr31.
