Subject: [PATCH 08/21] scripts/gdb: arm64: Use TPIDRRO_EL0 instead of SP_EL0 for 'current'
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 17:42:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907164247.17223-9-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907164247.17223-1-will@kernel.org>
The current task pointer now lives in TPIDRRO_EL0 instead of SP_EL0, so
update the gdb 'cpus.py' helper script with the new register allocation.
