New bnds fields will be always present for x86 architecture.
Fixup for compatibility layer 32bits has to be fixed.
It was added the nat_siginfo to serving as intermediate step
between kernel provided siginfo and the fix up routine.
When executing compat_siginfo_from_siginfo or
compat_x32_siginfo_from_siginfo first the buffer read from the kernel are
converted into the nat_signfo for homogenization, then the fields of
nat_siginfo are use to set the compat and compat_x32 siginfo fields.
In other to make this conversion independent of the system where gdb
is compiled the most complete version of the siginfo, named as native
siginfo, is used internally as an intermediate step.
Conversion using nat_siginfo is exemplified below:
compat_siginfo_from_siginfo or compat_x32_siginfo_from_siginfo:
buffer (from the kernel) -> nat_siginfo -> 32 / X32 siginfo
(memcpy) (field by field)
siginfo_from_compat_x32_siginfo or siginfo_from_compat_siginfo:
32 / X32 siginfo -> nat_siginfo -> buffer (to the kernel)
(field by field) (memcpy)
Caveat: No support for MPX on x32.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
