smokey arm64 gdb tests

smokey arm64 gdb tests

[Gylstorff Quirin]

Hi,

I did a run of smokey on arm64 and it aborts in the gdb test with the 
error:
FAILURE run_gdb:287: checking expression \"primary_mode\", expected 
\"1\", found \"0\"


My question should the gdb test run on arm64?
If not we should exclude it for the time being.

Thanks,
Quirin

Damn, that's the still missing userspace return notifier support on arm64. I 
will try to look into this.

Still, I suspect we need to deal with missing support, also because ppc 
shouldn't have that yet, Steven, am I right? It's "just" a debugging feature, 
nothing otherwise problematic or relevant for applications. So I'm unsure if 
that deserves an ABI flag, but that would be needed to detect the issue smoothly 
in the testsuite.

I'm not sure what this is. Do you mean the WARNSW option? PPC supports that.

Thanks for the info. This doesn't look too complicated but PPC defintely 
doesn't have this. I probably won't have time for quite a while to work on 
this, but I will get to it when I can. (or accept a patch from anyone! ;) )
