Yes, info auxv works on a live process. For the core I have other
patches that need to go in first, but the mechanism of getting auxv
remains the same; only determining initial stack changes.

I will add something to the commit log.
"Fix 'info auxv' for nto."

It fails since we have AT_* entries that are specific to nto, and get
printed as ??? which causes regex to not match. I have it patched
internally and print them out, but didn't think it would be acceptable
upstream.

Ok, sorry. Used 'mklog' script and didn't remove gdb/.

We don't dump it in the note, we dump initial stack page containing it.

Ok.

Attaching the patch with double-space fix and added "what was fixed" in
