Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] GDB: Add gdb/arch/aarch64-pauth-linux.h
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 03:00:59 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260217060106.1906312-2-thiago.bauermann@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260217060106.1906312-1-thiago.bauermann@linaro.org>

The code supporting Pointer Authentication duplicates the definition of
AARCH64_HWCAP_PACA and of AARCH64_LINUX_SIZEOF_PAUTH between GDB and
gdbserver, so add new header to host those definitions.

Also, rename AARCH64_HWCAP_PACA to HWCAP_PACA and only define it if it
isn't already defined by the system headers, as is done for other HWCAP
constants.

Suggested-by: Luis <luis.machado.foss@gmail.com>
