Subject: Add support for SSE registers in ELF core files.
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ff08c6bbc8826f62287aff8aab2283f4e9783784;p=binutils-gdb.git

Add support for SSE registers in ELF core files.
* elf.c (elfcore_make_note_pseudosection): New function.
(elfcore_grok_prfpreg): Use it.
(elfcore_grok_prxfpreg): New function.
(elfcore_grok_note): Recognize Linux NT_PRXFPREG notes.
