Arm v8-M Architecture Reference Manual,
D1.2.95 EXC_RETURN, Exception Return Payload
describes ES bit:
"ES, bit [0]
Exception Secure. The security domain the exception was taken to.
The possible values of this bit are:
0 Non-secure.
1 Secure"
arm-tdep.c:3443, arm_m_exception_cache () function tests this bit:
exception_domain_is_secure = (bit (lr, 0) == 0);
The test is negated!
Later on line 3553, the condition evaluates if an additional state
context is stacked:
/* With the Security extension, the hardware saves R4..R11 too. */
if (tdep->have_sec_ext && secure_stack_used
&& (!default_callee_register_stacking || exception_domain_is_secure))
RM, B3.19 Exception entry, context stacking
reads:
RPLHM "In a PE with the Security Extension, on taking an exception,
the PE hardware:
...
2. If exception entry requires a transition from Secure state to
Non-secure state, the PE hardware extends the stack frame and also
saves additional state context."
So we should test for !exception_domain_is_secure instead of non-negated
value!
These two bugs compensate each other so unstacking works correctly.
But another test of exception_domain_is_secure (negated due to the
first bug) prevents arm_unwind_secure_frames to work as expected:
/* Unwinding from non-secure to secure can trip security
measures. In order to avoid the debugger being
intrusive, rely on the user to configure the requested
mode. */
if (secure_stack_used && !exception_domain_is_secure
&& !arm_unwind_secure_frames)
Test with GNU gdb (GDB) 13.0.50.

Set exception_domain_is_secure to the value expected by its name.
Fix exception_domain_is_secure usage in the additional state context
stacking condition.
