[PATCH v13 27/40] arm64/ptrace: Expose GCS via ptrace and core files

From: Mark Brown
Date: Tue Oct 01 2024 - 19:08:55 EST


Provide a new register type NT_ARM_GCS reporting the current GCS mode
and pointer for EL0. Due to the interactions with allocation and
deallocation of Guarded Control Stacks we do not permit any changes to
the GCS mode via ptrace, only GCSPR_EL0 may be changed.
