[ARM] Fixup PC in software single step
When I exercise GDBserver software single step, I see the following error, which has been already handled by GDB properly. In GDBserver log, we can see, GDBserver tries to single step instruction on 0xb6e0a6e4, and destination address is 0xffff0fe0, stop pc is 0xb6e0a6e4 Writing f001f0e7 to 0xffff0fe0 in process 7132 Failed to insert breakpoint at 0xffff0fe0 (Input/output error). Failed to insert breakpoint at 0xffff0fe0 (-1). (gdb) disassemble __aeabi_read_tp,+8 Dump of assembler code from 0xb6e0a6e0 to 0xb6e0a6e8: 0xb6e0a6e0 <__aeabi_read_tp+0>: mvn r0, #61440 ; 0xf000 0xb6e0a6e4 <__aeabi_read_tp+4>: sub pc, r0, #31 however, it fails inserting breakpoint there. This problem has already fixed by GDB, see comments in arm-linux-tdep.c:arm_linux_software_single_step /* The Linux kernel offers some user-mode helpers in a high page. We can not read this page (as of 2.6.23), and even if we could then we couldn't set breakpoints in it, and even if we could then the atomic operations would fail when interrupted. They are all called as functions and return to the address in LR, so step to there instead. */ so we need to do the same thing in GDB side as well. This patch adds a new field fixup in arm_get_next_pcs_ops, so that we can fix up PC for arm-linux target. In this way, both GDB and GDBserver can single step instructions going to kernel helpers. gdb: 2016-02-12 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> * arch/arm-get-next-pcs.c (arm_get_next_pcs): Call self->ops->fixup if it isn't NULL. * arch/arm-get-next-pcs.h: Include gdb_vecs.h. (struct arm_get_next_pcs_ops) <fixup>: New field. * arch/arm-linux.c: Include common-regcache.h and arch/arm-get-next-pcs.h. (arm_linux_get_next_pcs_fixup): New function. * arch/arm-linux.h (arm_linux_get_next_pcs_fixup): Declare. * arm-linux-tdep.c (arm_linux_get_next_pcs_ops): Initialize it with arm_linux_get_next_pcs_fixup.
