Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] GDB: aarch64-linux: Move definition of struct user_gcs
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 03:01:01 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260217060106.1906312-4-thiago.bauermann@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260217060106.1906312-1-thiago.bauermann@linaro.org>
Only native code should use struct user_gcs, so its definition should be
in a native-specific file and not in a file under gdb/arch/.
To fix this problem, create gdb/nat/aarch64-gcs-linux-ptrace.h and move
the struct user_gcs definition to it, as suggested by Luis.
To fix the use of struct user_gcs in gdb/aarch64-linuxt-dep.c, define a
macro with the size of the GCS regset in gdb/arch/aarch64-gcs-linux.h
and use it in aarch64-linux-tdep.c, as is done for other regsets and
following a suggestion from Simon Marchi.
Suggested-by: Luis <luis.machado.foss@gmail.com>

Changes since v2:
- Don't rename gdb/arch/aarch64-gcs-linux.h to gdb/arch/aarch64-linux.h,
as suggested by Luis.
- Create gdb/nat/aarch64-gcs-linux-ptrace.h to contain definition of
struct user_gcs, as suggested by Luis.
- Don't rename HWCAP_GCS to AARCH64_HWCAP_GCS, as suggested by Luis.
- Move definition of AARCH64_LINUX_SIZEOF_GCS_REGSET from
gdb/aarch64-linux-tdep.h to gdb/arch/aarch64-gcs-linux.h, as suggested
by Luis.
- Move changes to HWCAP_PACA to separate patch.
