Commit
92d48a1e4eac ("Add an arm-tls feature which includes the tpidruro
register from CP15.") introduced the org.gnu.gdb.arm.tls feature, which
adds the tpidruro register, and unconditionally enabled it in
aarch32_create_target_description.
In Linux, the tpidruro register isn't available via ptrace in the 32-bit
kernel but it is available for an aarch32 program running under an arm64
kernel via the ptrace compat interface. This isn't currently implemented
however, which causes GDB on arm-linux with 64-bit kernel to list the
register but show it as unavailable, as reported by Tom de Vries:
$ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex start -ex 'p $tpidruro'
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x512
Temporary breakpoint 1, 0xaaaaa512 in main ()
$1 = <unavailable>
Simon Marchi then clarified:

Therefore, disable the TLS feature in aarch32 target descriptions for Linux
and NetBSD targets (the latter also doesn't seem to support accessing
tpidruro either, based on a quick look at arm-netbsd-nat.c).
This patch fixes the following tests:
Running gdb.base/inline-frame-cycle-unwind.exp ...
FAIL: gdb.base/inline-frame-cycle-unwind.exp: cycle at level 3: backtrace when the unwind is broken at frame 3
FAIL: gdb.base/inline-frame-cycle-unwind.exp: cycle at level 5: backtrace when the unwind is broken at frame 5
FAIL: gdb.base/inline-frame-cycle-unwind.exp: cycle at level 1: backtrace when the unwind is broken at frame 1
Tested with Ubuntu 22.04.3 on armv8l-linux-gnueabihf in native,
native-gdbserver and native-extended-gdbserver targets with no regressions.
