[PATCH v2 13/24] Refactor parsing of /proc/<pid>/smaps

Luis Machado luis.machado@linaro.org
Thu Oct 22 20:00:03 GMT 2020


The Linux kernel exposes the information about MTE-protected pages via the
proc filesystem, more specifically through the smaps file.

What we're looking for is a mapping with the 'mt' flag, which tells us that
mapping was created with a PROT_MTE flag and, thus, is capable of using memory
tagging.

We already parse that file for other purposes (core file
generation/filtering), so this patch refactors the code to make the parsing
of the smaps file reusable for memory tagging.

The function linux_address_in_memtag_page uses the refactored code to allow
querying for memory tag support in a particular address, and it gets used in the
next patch.

gdb/ChangeLog:

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

	* linux-tdep.c (struct smaps_vmflags) <memory_tagging>: New flag
	bit.
	(struct smaps_data): New struct.
	(decode_vmflags): Handle the 'mt' flag.
	(parse_smaps_data): New function, refactored from
	linux_find_memory_regions_full.
	(linux_address_in_memtag_page): New function.
	(linux_find_memory_regions_full): Refactor into parse_smaps_data.
	* linux-tdep.h (linux_address_in_memtag_page): New prototype.
