  This is actually a fix for a issue related to DSCR value that were being
  discussed when the ptrace patch was submitted (as mentioned in
  https://bugzilla.linux.ibm.com/show_bug.cgi?id=104280#c5). The patchset
  updating the ptrace interface to include the new registers is still
  waiting for review in the kernel mailing list.

  Right, what is the status on the GDB part? Is it already done, or, does it depend on those patches accepted before starting the development?

  GDB part is depending on the kernel side patches to start the
  development.
