Re: Ping Re: [PATCH v1] PowerPC: Add NT_PPC_DMR core file support
This email thread concerns a patch adding support for the NT_PPC_DMR note type in PowerPC core files for BFD and readelf. The patch, originally submitted by Abhay Kandpal, has seen multiple pings requesting review. Surya Kumari Jangala has now been added to the discussion, likely to provide review or further input on the proposed changes for handling Dense Math Registers (DMR) in core dumps.
