Ptrace support for Aarch64 SVEusers/simark/regcache-for-alan
Add support for reading and writing registers for Aarch64 SVE. I've made this functionality common as it will be required for gdbserver when gdbsever sve support is added. Given that gdbserver does not yet call this function, I am happy to remove the regcache commonise functions from the previous patch. However, this would result in code in nat/ that does not compile for gdbserver. I wanted to avoid that. We need to support the cases where the kernel only gives us a fpsimd structure. This occurs when there is no active SVE state in the kernel (for example, after starting a new process). As per the covering email description, I've included large chunks of linux kernel headers within an ifdef. Formatting of these macros remains identical to the Kernel versions (ie not adapted to GNU style). Added checks to make sure the vector length has not changed whilst the process is running. 2018-05-11 Alan Hayward <alan.hayward@arm.com> gdb/ * aarch64-linux-nat.c (fetch_sveregs_from_thread): New function.
