[Bug 2012509] [NEW] unable to fetch pauth registers: Invalid argument.

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Public bug reported:

I am running Ubuntu Lunar on an arm64 Lenovo X13s using the kernel
6.2.0-1003-laptop from ppa:ubuntu-concept/x13s. The kernel is configured
with CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH=y.

Debugging a trivial hello world program fails:

GNU gdb (Ubuntu 13.1-2ubuntu2) 13.1
Reading symbols from ./test...
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/user/temp/test 
unable to fetch pauth registers: Invalid argument.

The message relates to this statement:

gdb/aarch64-linux-nat.c:371:
ret = ptrace (PTRACE_GETREGSET, tid, NT_ARM_PAC_MASK, &iovec);

When using

set tdesc filename target.xml

with a target.xml file without the org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.pauth feature
debugging works fine.
