[PATCH v4 0/5] Process record and reverse debugging support on aarch64-linux

[Omair Javaid]

This is another attempt to get these aarch64 record replay patches approved.

These have been lingering since mid last year and I ll be very thankful if some of our maintainers can help me get them committed.

I have added a couple of bug fixes which has improved the testsuite failure rate.

Here are the fresh results from gdb.reverse testsuite ran on aarch64 hardware:
