aarch64: PR 19806: watchpoints: false negatives + PR 20207 contiguous ones
Some unaligned watchpoints were currently missed. On old kernels as specified in kernel RFE: aarch64: ptrace: BAS: Support any contiguous range (edit) https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20207 after this patch some other unaligned watchpoints will get reported as false positives. With new kernels all the watchpoints should work exactly. There may be a regresion that it now less merges watchpoints so that with multiple overlapping watchpoints it may run out of the 4 hardware watchpoint registers. But as discussed in the original thread GDB needs some generic watchpoints merging framework to be used by all the target specific code. Even current FSF GDB code does not merge it perfectly. Also with the more precise watchpoints one can technically merge them less. And I do not think it matters too much to improve mergeability only for old kernels. Still even on new kernels some better merging logic would make sense. There remains one issue: kernel-4.15.14-300.fc27.armv7hl FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp: continue FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp: continue (gdb) continue Continuing. Unexpected error setting watchpoint: Invalid argument. (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp: continue But that looks as a kernel bug to me. (1) It is not a regression by this patch. (2) It is unrelated to this patch. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-05-04 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com> Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR breakpoints/19806 and support for PR external/20207. * NEWS: Mention Aarch64 watchpoint improvements. * aarch64-linux-nat.c (aarch64_linux_stopped_data_address): Fix missed watchpoints and PR external/20207 watchpoints. * nat/aarch64-linux-hw-point.c (kernel_supports_any_contiguous_range): New.
