Clear non-significant bits of address on memory access
ARMv8 supports tagged address, that is, the top one byte in address is ignored. It is always enabled on aarch64-linux. See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/tagged-pointers.txt The tag in the tagged address is modeled as non-significant bits in address, so this patch adds a new gdbarch method significant_addr_bit and clear the non-significant bits (the top byte in ARMv8) of the virtual address at the point before passing address to target cache layer. IOW, the address used in the target cache layer is already cleared. Before this patch, (gdb) x/x 0x0000000000411030 0x411030 <global>: 0x00000000 (gdb) x/x 0xf000000000411030 0xf000000000411030: Cannot access memory at address 0xf000000000411030 After this patch, (gdb) x/x 0x0000000000411030 0x411030 <global>: 0x00000000 (gdb) x/x 0xf000000000411030 0xf000000000411030: 0x00000000 Note that I used address_significant in paddress, but it causes a regression gdb.base/long_long.exp, because gdb clears the non-significant bits in address, but test still expects them. p/a val.oct^M $24 = 0x2ee53977053977^M (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/long_long.exp: p/a val.oct so I defer the change there. gdb: 2017-12-08 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> * aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_gdbarch_init): Install gdbarch significant_addr_bit. * gdbarch.sh (significant_addr_bit): New. * gdbarch.c, gdbarch.h: Re-generated. * target.c (memory_xfer_partial): Call address_significant. * utils.c (address_significant): New function. * utils.h (address_significant): Declare. 2017-12-08 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> gdb/testsuite: * gdb.arch/aarch64-tagged-pointer.c: New file. * gdb.arch/aarch64-tagged-pointer.exp: New file.
