Subject: [PATCH v1 00/10] gdb: bugfix 31207 and various refactoring in linux-tdep
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 16:48:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707154900.94542-1-matthieu.longo@arm.com> (raw)
This patch series contains:
- a fix for bug 31207.
- a number of refactorings in linux-tdep, and the way procfs files are read.
- preparatory changes for upcoming AArch64 features support (POE, a.k.a Memory Protection Keys [2]
and POE2) in GDB:
- parsing of ProtectionKey field in /proc/PID/smaps
- helpers to read AT_HWCAP3 and AT_HWCAP4
This is a spin-off of a previous patch series [3] where patches 1/8 and 4/8 were abandoned.
Also on demand of Yury Khrustalev, a helper for AT_HWCAP4 was added.
Thanks to Linaro's CIs, a regression was detected in test gcore-stale-thread and after investigation,
the root cause appears to be the same as bug 31207. Patch 2/10 address the root cause, and 7/10 fixes
a discovered issue in the logic of linux_find_memory_regions_full if an reading issue occurs.
All changes were tested by building GDB on x86_64 and AArch64 and running the existing GDB testsuite.
