Description Sorin Otescu 2009-10-14 17:31:58 UTC 
GDB 7.0 has native support for MIPS hardware watchpoints, as added by the
patches from http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-09/msg00230.html and later.

However, gdbserver support is missing. This limits the usefulness of the patches
for MIPS machines with limited RAM.

The changes from mips-linux-nat.c should be added to gdbserver.

The NEWS for gdb 7.7 says:

  ** GDBserver now supports hardware watchpoints on the MIPS GNU/Linux
     target.

It was implemented with this commit:
