From 75606e5e8de136a1ad217e53ce5943a91d5ea424 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gustavo Romero Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2024 20:10:32 +0000 Subject: gdb: aarch64: Remove MTE address checking from get_memtag This commit removes aarch64_linux_tagged_address_p from aarch64_linux_get_memtag. aarch64_linux_tagged_address_p checks if an address is tagged (MTE) or not. The check is redundant because aarch64_linux_get_memtag is always called from the upper layers (i.e. from printcmd.c via gdbarch hook gdbarch_get_memtag) after either gdbarch_tagged_address_p (that already points to aarch64_linux_tagged_address_p) has been called or after should_validate_memtags (that calls gdbarch_tagged_address_p at the end) has been called, so the address is already checked. Hence: a) in print_command_1, aarch64_linux_get_memtag (via gdbarch_get_memtag hook) is called but only after should_validate_memtags, which calls gdbarch_tagged_address_p; b) in do_examine, aarch64_linux_get_memtag is also called only after gdbarch_tagged_address_p is directly called; c) in memory_tag_check_command, gdbarch_get_memtag is called -- tags matching or not -- after the initial check via direct call to gdbarch_tagged_address_p; d) in memory_tag_print_tag_command, address is checked directly via gdbarch_tagged_address_p before gdbarch_get_memtag is called. Also, because after this change the address checking only happens at the upper layer it now allows the address checking to be specialized easily per target, via a target hook.
