What's the purpose of using 'objdump' for reading raw instructions ?
Can't they be read directly without invoking 'objdump' ? It looks odd to
me to use objdump to provide readable text

Your approach looks fragile.

This patch proposes to add an extra .note section in the corefile to dump the

Add a new .note section containing type, size, offset and flags of

This information will be used by the debuggers to understand the XSAVE
layout of the machine where the core file is dumped, and to read XSAVE
registers, especially during cross-platform debugging.

You can go one step further because CONFIG_44x implies CONFIG_BOOKE, see

The Linux Kernel Memory Model [1][2] requires RMW operations that have a
return value to be fully ordered.
BPF atomic operations with BPF_FETCH (including BPF_XCHG and
BPF_CMPXCHG) return a value back so they need to be JITed to fully
ordered operations. POWERPC currently emits relaxed operations
