- Subject: [archer-jankratochvil-misc] Fix hw watchpoints regression oni386/x86_64/ia64
Upstream post:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-12/msg00143.html
there is now a regression for watchpoints created before the inferior is
started. With no active target the only target in the stack is `exec' which
has no `to_can_use_hw_breakpoint' in its vector. Therefore only a software
watchpoint gets created. Later the watchpoint type remains the same (software
one).
I find incorrect to determine the watchpoint type (sw/hw) the time it gets
created when no target is active. GDB cannot know the hw watchpoints support
availability that time.
In some ideal case bp_watchpoint vs. bp_hardware_watchpoint should be
completely hidden from the user. But as the watchpoint type is not absolutely
transparent I chose a more conservative way to just convert
bp_watchpoint<->bp_hardware_watchpoint appropriately when the relevant runtime
conditions may change.
The regression for ia64 got introduced starting with 6.7:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-03/msg00290.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-cvs/2007-03/msg00114.html
The regression for i386/x86_64 got introduced only in post-6.8 CVS HEAD:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-03/msg00000.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-cvs/2008-03/msg00002.html
No regressions on {x86_64,ia64}-unknown-linux-gnu.

Fix hw watchpoints created before the inferior was started.
* breakpoint.c (update_watchpoint): Convert the bp_watchpoint and
bp_hardware_watchpoint types according to the current runtime state.
(insert_breakpoints): Call update_watchpoint even for `bp_watchpoint's.
2008-12-07 Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/watchpoint-hw.exp, gdb.base/watchpoint-hw.c: New.
