[PATCH 1/1] x86/elf: Add a new .note section containing Xfeatures information to x86 core files
From: Vignesh Balasubramanian
Date: Thu Mar 14 2024 - 07:24:57 EST
Add a new .note section containing type, size, offset and flags of
every xfeature that is present.
This information will be used by the debuggers to understand the XSAVE
layout of the machine where the core file is dumped, and to read XSAVE
registers, especially during cross-platform debugging.
