Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Add ELF auxiliary vector handling for FreeBSD
Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2016 06:02:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160616060202.63470-1-jhb@FreeBSD.org> (raw)

This patch series fixes 'info auxv' to work on live binaries and cores
for FreeBSD.  I believe most of these patches are straightforward.
I broke out parsing of FreeBSD-specific ELF core notes to avoid a
collision with duplicate NT_* values (NT_FREEBSD_PROCSTAT_AUXV conflicts
with NT_LWPSTATUS).  The biggest change is adding a new gdbarch method
to handle formatting individual auxv vectors.  FreeBSD uses AT_* constants
that overlap with existing AT_* constants but with different meanings.
One result of making the interpretation of AT_* constants a gdbarch
method is that 'info auxv' shows the correct output (Linux values)
when gdb inspects a Linux binary executing on FreeBSD via FreeBSD's
Linux ABI support.

John Baldwin (6):
  Add constants for FreeBSD-specific auxiliary vector entry types.
  Add elfcore_grok_freebsd_note to parse FreeBSD ELF core notes.
  Fetch the ELF auxiliary vector from live processes on FreeBSD.
  Create a psuedo section for the ELF AUXV core dump note on FreeBSD.
  Add a new gdbarch method to print a single AUXV entry.
  Add a gdbarch 'print_auxv' method for FreeBSD ABIs.
