Subject: [PATCH 0/3 v3] [AArch64] Support tagged pointer
Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2017 10:04:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1512727471-30745-1-git-send-email-yao.qi@linaro.org> (raw)
ARMv8 supports tagged address, that is, the top one byte in address
is ignored. It is always enabled on aarch64-linux. See
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/tagged-pointers.txt
Some parts of GDB related to address are updated in this patch series,
- Memory access, like command 'x',
- Setting hw breakpoint on some address,
- Setting watchpoint on some address,
Address tag is treated as non-significant bits of address, so this patch
series add a new gdbarch significant_addr_bit, and use it in gdbarch to
get rid of non-significant bits. This was the suggestion in the v2 review.
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-10/msg00792.html)
When I test this patch series, and I find a regression in linespec. I
posted the fix https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-12/msg00158.html
Without this fix, this series causes a regression.
*** BLURB HERE ***

Clear non-significant bits of address on memory access
Adjust breakpoint address by clearing non-significant bits
Clear non-significant bits of address in watchpoint
