Subject: [PATCH] Add AT_HWCAP2 auxv tag
Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2014 17:11:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201401281711.s0SHBejj022784@d06av02.portsmouth.uk.ibm.com> (raw)
Hello,
recent ppc64 Linux kernels provide a new auxv entry AT_HWCAP2,
which is currently not recognized by GDB, causing every use of
"info auxv" to show an error.
This patch adds the AT_HWCAP2 define to include/elf/common.h
and handles it in GDB.
OK for mainline (for the include/ part)?
Bye,
Ulrich
include/elf/ChangeLog:
* common.h (AT_HWCAP2): Define.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* auxv.c (fprint_target_auxv): Handle AT_HWCAP2.
