irc transcript:

mjw So, for syscall things, like getting at the arguments, we can use asm/syscall.h
mjw But that is only enough for syscall related callbacks isn't it?
mjw For anything else, like uprobes, we need to go through linux/regset.h
mjw and some arch specific mapping of the regsets to arch specific register 
values

roland i think instruction_pointer(regs) and user_stack_pointer(regs) can always
be used
roland for other particular things where you know arch-specifically that the reg
is ok you can use it
roland but yes, the general case is user_regset
