Re: [PATCH v1] bfd/readelf: Add core file support for FEAT_S1POE
This patch adds support for the ARM POE (Point Of Exception) note type to binutils’ core file handling. The readelf utility will now be able to interpret and display NT_ARM_POE information found in core dumps, particularly for AArch64 targets. The change involves defining a new pseudo-section for this note type and integrating it into the ELF core file parsing logic.
