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: 2021-03-24 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.
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
