We use a shared definition for struct pt_regs in uapi/asm/ptrace.h. That means the layout of the structure is ABI, ie. we can't change it. That would be fine if it was only used to describe the user-visible register state of a process, but it's also the struct we use in the kernel to describe the registers saved in an interrupt frame. We'd like more flexibility in the content (and possibly layout) of the kernel version of the struct, but currently that's not possible. So split the definition into a user-visible definition which remains unchanged, and a kernel internal one. At the moment they're still identical, and we check that at build time. That's because we have code (in ptrace etc.) that assumes that they are the same. We will fix that code in future patches, and then we can break the strict symmetry between the two structs.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
