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.
