gdb: LoongArch: Add support for hardware breakpoint
LoongArch defines hardware watchpoint functions for fetch operations.
After the software configures the watchpoints for fetch, the processor
hardware will monitor the access addresses of the fetch operations and
trigger a watchpoint exception when the watchpoint setting conditions
are met.
Hardware watchpoints for fetch operations is used to implement hardware
breakpoint function on LoongArch. Refer to the following document for
hardware breakpoint.
https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation/LoongArch-Vol1-EN.html#control-and-status-registers-related-to-watchpoints
A simple test is as follows:
lihui@bogon:~$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
int a = 0;
int main()
{
printf("start test\n");
a = 1;
printf("a = %d\n", a);
printf("end test\n");
return 0;
}
lihui@bogon:~$ gcc -g test.c -o test
without this patch:
lihui@bogon:~$ gdb test
...
(gdb) start
...
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:5
5 printf("start test\n");
(gdb) hbreak 8
No hardware breakpoint support in the target.
with this patch:
lihui@bogon:~$ gdb test
...
(gdb) start
...
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:5
5 printf("start test\n");
(gdb) hbreak 8
Hardware assisted breakpoint 2 at 0x1200006ec: file test.c, line 8.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
start test
a = 1
Breakpoint 2, main () at test.c:8
8 printf("end test\n");
(gdb) c
Continuing.
end test
