[PATCH] [arm] watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: skip setting HW points on some address

[PATCH] [arm] watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: skip setting HW points on some address

[Yao Qi]

From: Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>

Hi,
ARM linux kernel has some requirements on the address/length setting
for HW breakpoints/watchpoints, but watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp doesn't
consider them and sets HW points on various addresses.  Many fails
are causes as a result:

stepi^M
Warning:^M
Could not insert hardware watchpoint 20.^M
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:^M
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.^M
^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: always-inserted off: watch x watch: : width 2, iter 2: base + 1: stepi advanced

watch *(buf.byte + 2 + 1)@2^M
Hardware watchpoint 388: *(buf.byte + 2 + 1)@2^M
Warning:^M
Could not insert hardware watchpoint 388.^M
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:^M
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.^M
^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: always-inserted on: watch x watch: : width 2, iter 2: base + 1: watch *(buf.byte + 2 + 1)@2

This patch is to reflect kernel requirements in watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp
in order to skip some tests.

gdb/testsuite:

2015-04-10  Yao Qi  <yao.qi@linaro.org>

	* gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp (valid_addr_p): Return
	false for some offset and width combinations which aren't
	supported by linux kernel.
