Subject: [PATCH v4 3/6] GDB: aarch64-linux: Reorganize MTE-related definitions
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 02:06:38 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303050641.198127-4-thiago.bauermann@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303050641.198127-1-thiago.bauermann@linaro.org>
GDB conditionally defines HWCAP2_MTE in gdb/arch/aarch64-mte-linux.h, but
that's not the best place for it since it's a definition that should be
used only in native code so move it to gdb/nat/aarch64-mte-linux-ptrace.h.
Introduce an AARCH64_HWCAP2_MTE in gdb/arch/aarch64-mte-linux.h to be used
by target-dependant code.
Similarly, add AARCH64_ prefix to the SEGV_MTEAERR and SEGV_MTESERR
definitions in gdb/arch/aarch64-mte-linux.h.
I noticed that enum class aarch64_memtag_type is only used in native code,
so move its definition to gdb/nat/aarch64-mte-linux-ptrace.h as well.
I also noticed that gdb/aarch64-linux-tdep.h defines
AARCH64_LINUX_SIZEOF_MTE_REGSET which is redundant with
AARCH64_LINUX_SIZEOF_MTE, already defined in gdb/arch/aarch64-mte-linux.h
so consolidate both definitions.
Finally, the include of arch/aarch64-mte-linux.h isn't used in
gdb/aarch64-linux-nat.c nor in gdb/nat/aarch64-mte-linux-ptrace.c so
remove it from them.
