Subject: [PATCH] S390: Fix crash when remote tdesc doesn't define vec128
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 17:54:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3lg6vgmy9.fsf@oc0404454431.ibm.com> (raw)
I've encountered a GDB crash when trying to read registers from a remote
stub that provided a target.xml with vector registers, but without the
'vec128' data type. The crash is caused by NULL register type entries for
the "concatenated" pseudo-registers v0-v15. These NULL entries are
introduced by the logic in s390_pseudo_register_type(), where the tdesc
type 'vec128' is returned unconditionally -- even if it doesn't exist (is
NULL).
The fixed logic for determining a "concatenated" vector register's type
now returns the type of the raw register v16 instead. This also makes
sure that all vector register have the same type.
