Commit Message

Peter Maydell April 20, 2023, 10:04 a.m. UTC 
So that we can avoid the "older gdb crashes" problem described in
commit 5787d17a42f7af4 and which caused us to disable reporting pauth
information via the gdbstub, newer gdb is going to implement support
for recognizing the pauth information via a new feature name:
 org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.pauth_v2

Older gdb won't recognize this feature name, so we can re-enable the
pauth support under the new name without risking them crashing.
