Subject: [rfa] Support new AT_BASE_PLATFORM and AT_EXECFN auxv entries
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 20:39:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200811121728.mACHSFsf026499@d12av02.megacenter.de.ibm.com> (raw)
Hello,
recent Linux kernels provide two new auxiliary vector entries that
GDB does not yet support, leading to error messages in "info auxv".
The AT_BASE_PLATFORM and AT_EXECFN values are not even present in
include/elf/common.h at this point.
This patch adds those defines (mirroring comments from Linux
kernel / glibc headers), and code to handle those entries in GDB.
Are the include/elf/ changes OK?
GDB tested on powerpc64-linux (on a 2.6.27 kernel).
Bye,
Ulrich
gdb/ChangeLog:
* auxv.c (fprint_target_auxv): Handle AT_BASE_PLATFORM and
AT_EXECFN. Re-sort AT_SECURE.
include/elf/ChangeLog:
* common.h (AT_BASE_PLATFORM, AT_EXECFN): Define.
