Fix PTRACE_GETREGSET failure for compat inferiors on arm64
When running a 32-bit ARM inferior with a 32-bit ARM GDB on a 64-bit AArch64 host, only VFP registers (NT_ARM_VFP) are available. The FPA registers (NT_PRFPREG) are not available so GDB must not request them, as this will fail with -EINVAL. This is most noticeably exposed when running "generate-core-file": (gdb) generate-core-file myprog.core Unable to fetch the floating point registers.: Invalid argument. ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET, 27642, NT_FPREGSET, 0xffcc67f0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-01-27 Kees Cook <keescook@google.com> * gdb/arm-linux-nat.c (arm_linux_fetch_inferior_registers): Call fetch_fpregs if target has fpa registers. (arm_linux_store_inferior_registers): Call store_fpregs if target has fpa registers.
