gdb/aarch64: Disable displaced single-step for MOPS instructions
The AArch64 MOPS (Memory Operation) instructions provide a standardised instruction sequence to perform a memset, memcpy or memmove. A sequence is always composed of three instructions: a prologue instruction, a main instruction and an epilogue instruction. As an illustration, here are the implementations of these memory operations in glibc 2.39: (gdb) disassemble/r Dump of assembler code for function __memset_mops: => 0x0000fffff7e8d780 <+0>: d503201f nop 0x0000fffff7e8d784 <+4>: aa0003e3 mov x3, x0 0x0000fffff7e8d788 <+8>: 19c10443 setp [x3]!, x2!, x1 0x0000fffff7e8d78c <+12>: 19c14443 setm [x3]!, x2!, x1 0x0000fffff7e8d790 <+16>: 19c18443 sete [x3]!, x2!, x1 0x0000fffff7e8d794 <+20>: d65f03c0 ret End of assembler dump. (gdb) disassemble/r Dump of assembler code for function __memcpy_mops: => 0x0000fffff7e8c580 <+0>: d503201f nop 0x0000fffff7e8c584 <+4>: aa0003e3 mov x3, x0 0x0000fffff7e8c588 <+8>: 19010443 cpyfp [x3]!, [x1]!, x2! 0x0000fffff7e8c58c <+12>: 19410443 cpyfm [x3]!, [x1]!, x2! 0x0000fffff7e8c590 <+16>: 19810443 cpyfe [x3]!, [x1]!, x2! 0x0000fffff7e8c594 <+20>: d65f03c0 ret End of assembler dump. (gdb) disassemble/r Dump of assembler code for function __memmove_mops: => 0x0000fffff7e8d180 <+0>: d503201f nop 0x0000fffff7e8d184 <+4>: aa0003e3 mov x3, x0 0x0000fffff7e8d188 <+8>: 1d010443 cpyp [x3]!, [x1]!, x2! 0x0000fffff7e8d18c <+12>: 1d410443 cpym [x3]!, [x1]!, x2! 0x0000fffff7e8d190 <+16>: 1d810443 cpye [x3]!, [x1]!, x2! 0x0000fffff7e8d194 <+20>: d65f03c0 ret End of assembler dump. The Arm Architecture Reference Manual says that "the prologue, main, and epilogue instructions are expected to be run in succession and to appear consecutively in memory". Therefore this patch disables displaced stepping on them. The testcase verifies that MOPS sequences are correctly single-stepped.
