💅 task_user_regset_view(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for task_user_regset_view. This one is short and sweet, and it's literally about grabbing the process's native regset view. slay.

🎀 NAME 🎀

task_user_regset_view — Return the process's native regset view.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const struct user_regset_view * task_user_regset_view (struct task_struct *tsk );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• tsk — a thread of the process in question.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Return the struct user_regset_view that is native for the given process.

For example, that's what it would access when it called ptrace. Throughout the life of the process, this only changes at exec.

No cap: "native for the given process" is the whole point. The view is tied to the process, and the only time it switches up during the process's lifetime is at exec.
