[PATCH 16/23] AArch64: Report tag violation error information

Luis Machado luis.machado@linaro.org
Wed Jul 15 19:45:06 GMT 2020


Whenever a memory tag violation occurs, we get a SIGSEGV. Additional
information can be obtained through the siginfo data structure.

For AArch64 the Linux kernel may expose the fault address and tag
information, if we have a synchronous event. Otherwise there is
no fault address available.

gdb/ChangeLog:

YYYY-MM-DD  Luis Machado  <luis.machado@linaro.org>

	* aarch64-linux-tdep.c
	(aarch64_linux_handle_segmentation_fault): New function.
	(aarch64_linux_init_abi): Register
	aarch64_linux_handle_segmentation_fault as segmentation fault hook.
	* arch/aarch64-linux.h (SEGV_MTEAERR): Define.
	(SEGV_MTESERR): Define.
