Subject: [PATCH v1 2/4] arm64/ptrace: Document extension of NT_ARM_TLS to cover TPIDR2_EL0
Date: Mon,  4 Jul 2022 19:13:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220704181332.3318214-3-broonie@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220704181332.3318214-1-broonie@kernel.org>

In order to allow debuggers to discover lazily saved SME state we need
to provide access to TPIDR2_EL0, we will extend the existing NT_ARM_TLS
used for TPIDR to also include TPIDR2_EL0 as the second register in the
regset.
