When SME support was merged support for TPIDR2 in signal frames was
omitted, meaning that it was not possible for signal handers to inspect
or modify it. This will present an issue for programs using signals to
implement lightweight threads so let's provide access to TPIDR2 in
signal handlers.
Implement a new record type for TPIDR2 using the same format as we use
for ESR and add coverage to make sure that this appears in the signal
context as expected. Due to TPIDR2 being reserved for libc we only
validate that the value is unchanged, meaning we're likely to just be
validating the default value of 0 on current systems. I have tested with
a modified version that sets an explicit value.
v3:
- Rebase onto v6.2-rc1.
v2:
- Rebase onto v6.1-rc3.
- Change the signal frame magic to 0x54504902 (TPI).
