Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/5] gdb/aarch64: Support for FPMR
Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2025 14:17:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250905131707.77027-1-Ezra.Sitorus@arm.com> (raw)

From: Ezra Sitorus <ezra.sitorus@arm.com>

The Floating Point Mode Register (FPMR) determines the behaviour of FP8
instructions. This patch series adds support for this register into gdb.

This has been tested using Shrinkwrap, which allows me to run Linux on a
model of an Arm system with new features. You can find more information
here: [1].

This is an RFC becauase there are a few things I'm not clear on - the
main thing being testing. In the final patch I've outlined my thoughts
in the message. 

I'd also appreciate any feedback regarding anything I can do better
here and also if I'm missing anything out.

Ezra
