Make the dcache (code/stack cache) handle line reading errors better
The dcache (code/stack cache) is supposed to be transparent, but it's actually not in one case. dcache tries to read chunks (cache lines) at a time off of the target. This may end up trying to read unaccessible or unavailable memory. Currently the caller gets an xfer error in this case. But if the specific bits of memory the caller actually wanted are available and accessible, then the caller should get the memory it wanted, not an error. gdb/ 2014-05-21 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * dcache.c (dcache_read_memory_partial): If reading the cache line fails, fallback to reading just the memory the caller wanted. gdb/testsuite/ 2014-05-21 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * gdb.base/dcache-line-read-error.c: New. * gdb.base/dcache-line-read-error.exp: New.
