Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] gdb/aarch64: Add custom printing for POR_EL0
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 18:08:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626180821.376406-3-srinath.parvathaneni@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260626180821.376406-1-srinath.parvathaneni@arm.com>
From: Srinath Parvathaneni <srinath.parvathaneni@arm.com>
Add custom printing support for the POR_EL0 register when displayed
using `info registers` or `info all-registers`.
The register value is decoded into a human-readable "rwx"
representation for each nibble in the POR_EL0 register, making the
POE permissions easier to interpret.
Example:
(gdb) set $por_el0=0xffffffff77777777
(gdb) info register por_el0
por_el0 0xffffffff77777777 [P15=??? P14=??? P13=??? P12=??? P11=??? P10=??? P9=??? P8=??? P7=rwx P6=rwx P5=rwx P4=rwx P3=rwx P2=rwx P1=rwx P0=rwx ]
