Subject: [PATCH v3 3/5] [PATCH 3/5] gdbserver/aarch64: Add POR_EL0 register support
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 20:15:28 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714201530.78374-4-srinath.parvathaneni@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260714201530.78374-1-srinath.parvathaneni@arm.com>
From: Srinath Parvathaneni <srinath.parvathaneni@arm.com>
Add support for transferring the POR_EL0 register between the Linux
kernel and GDB during remote debugging.
This patch implements the necessary `fill` and `store` operations using
the `NT_ARM_POE` regset, allowing GDB to read and write the POR_EL0
register when debugging a remote target that supports FEAT_S1POE.
Approved-by: Thiago Jung Bauermann <thiago.bauermann@linaro.org>
