Refactor parsing of /proc/<pid>/smaps
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.
