What does GDB need to know about my OS for using software breakpoints for
stepping? From looking at this document:
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0036b/IHI0036B_bsabi.pdf
I'd be using the ARM Architecture Procedure Call Standard and probably be
considered Bare Metal. Although I have some ELF processes loaded and
running, I think that should be opaque to GDB though. My stub switches MMU
TTB as necessary for writing the software breakpoints to memory.
Could I report an existing OS to GDB?
