- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
We see the following regressions in testing on x86_64-linux,
reverse-step^M
Cannot access memory at address 0x2aaaaaed26c0^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.reverse/solib-precsave.exp: reverse-step into solib function one
when GDB reverse step into a function, GDB wants to skip prologue so
it requests TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY to read some code memory in
memory_xfer_partial_1. However in dcache_read_memory_partial, the object
becomes TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY
return ops->to_xfer_partial (ops, TARGET_OBJECT_MEMORY, NULL,
myaddr, NULL, memaddr, len,
xfered_len);
in reverse debugging, ops->to_xfer_partial is record_full_core_xfer_partial
and it will return TARGET_XFER_E_IO because it can't find any records.
The test fails.
At this moment, the delegate relationship is like
dcache -> record-core -> core -> exec
and we want to GDB read memory across targets, which means if the
requested memory isn't found in record-core, GDB can read memory from
core, and exec even further if needed. I find raw_memory_xfer_partial
is exactly what I want.
Regression tested on x86_64-linux both native and gdbserver.
