MIPS/Linux: Disable n32 USR `ptrace' accesses to 64-bit registers
On the MIPS target DSP ASE registers can only be accessed with the PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR `ptrace' requests. With the n32 ABI these requests only pass 32-bit data quantities, which are narrower than the width of DSP accumulator registers, which are 64-bit. Generic code is prepared to transfer registers wider than the `ptrace' data type by offsetting into the USR address space, by the data width transferred. That however does not work with the MIPS target, because of how the API has been defined, where USR register addresses are actually indices rather than offsets. Consequently given address `a' using `a + 4' accesses the fourth next register rather than the upper half of the original register. With native debugging this causes clobbered register contents, as well as access failures as locations beyond the available USR space are addressed: (gdb) info registers zero at v0 v1 R0 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 a0 a1 a2 a3 R4 0000000010019158 0000000000000000 0000000000000011 0000000010019160 a4 a5 a6 a7 R8 0000000010019160 fffffffffff00000 fffffffffffffff8 0000000000000000 t0 t1 t2 t3 R12 0000000010019150 0000000000000001 0000000000000001 000000000000000f s0 s1 s2 s3 R16 0000000077ee6f20 0000000010007bb0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 s4 s5 s6 s7 R20 000000000052e668 000000000052f008 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 t8 t9 k0 k1 R24 0000000000000001 0000000010019010 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 gp sp s8 ra R28 0000000010020280 000000007fff4c10 000000007fff4c10 0000000010004f48 status lo hi badvaddr 0000000000109cf3 0000000000943efe 000000000000000e 000000001001900c cause pc 0000000000800024 0000000010004f48 fcsr fir hi1 lo1 0e800000 00f30000 0000000004040404 0101010105050505 hi2 lo2 hi3 lo3 0202020255aa33cc Couldn't read register (#75): Input/output error.

This obviously does not affect general-purpose registers (which use the PTRACE_GETREGS and PTRACE_SETREGS requests for access) or floating-point general registers (which use PTRACE_GETFPREGS and PTRACE_SETFPREGS). And $dspctl, being 32-bit, remains accessible too, which is important for BPOSGE32 branch decoding in single-stepping. For DSP accumulator access with the n32 ABI a new `ptrace' API is required on the kernel side. gdb/ * mips-linux-nat.c (mips64_linux_register_addr): Return -1 if the width of the requested register exceeds the width of the `ptrace' data type. gdb/gdbserver/ * linux-mips-low.c (mips_cannot_fetch_register): Return 1 if the width of the requested register exceeds the width of the `ptrace' data type.
