From 47f7f636bc8abc3c41848a412a68ca6aa36dbd21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Kolesov Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:56:45 +0400 Subject: [ARC] Parse NOTE section in core dump files This patch adds function elf32_arc_grok_parse to parse NOTE section of core dump files. GDB requires this to work properly with core dumps. bfd/ 2016-08-24 Anton Kolesov * elf32-arc.c (elf32_arc_grok_prstatus): New function.
