[PATCH] Handle MIPS Linux SIGTRAP siginfo.si_code values
- From: Pedro Alves <palves at redhat dot com>
- To: gdb-patches at sourceware dot org
- Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2016 16:43:59 +0000
- Subject: [PATCH] Handle MIPS Linux SIGTRAP siginfo.si_code values
- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
This unbreaks pending/delayed breakpoints handling, as well as
hardware watchpoints, on MIPS.
Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00681.html
The MIPS kernel reports SI_KERNEL for all kernel generated traps,
instead of TRAP_BRKPT / TRAP_HWBKPT, but GDB isn't aware of this.
Basically, this commit:
- Folds watchpoints logic into check_stopped_by_breakpoint, and
renames it to save_stop_reason.
- Adds GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT.
- Makes MIPS set both GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRPT and
GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT to SI_KERNEL. In save_stop_reason, we
handle the case of the same si_code returning true for both
TRAP_BRPT and TRAP_HWBKPT by looking at what the debug registers
say.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-02-24 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* linux-nat.c (save_sigtrap) Delete.
(stop_wait_callback): Call save_stop_reason instead of
save_sigtrap.
(check_stopped_by_breakpoint): Rename to ...
(save_stop_reason): ... this. Bits of save_sigtrap folded here.
Use GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT and handle ambiguous
GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRKPT / GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT. Factor out
common code between the USE_SIGTRAP_SIGINFO and
!USE_SIGTRAP_SIGINFO blocks.
(linux_nat_filter_event): Call save_stop_reason instead of
save_sigtrap.
* nat/linux-ptrace.h: Check for both SI_KERNEL and TRAP_BRKPT
si_code for MIPS.
* nat/linux-ptrace.h: Fix "TRAP_HWBPT" typo in x86 table. Add
comments on MIPS behavior.
(GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT): Define for all archs.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2016-02-24 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* linux-low.c (check_stopped_by_breakpoint): Rename to ...
(save_stop_reason): ... this. Use GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT and
handle ambiguous GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_BRKPT / GDB_ARCH_IS_TRAP_HWBKPT.
Factor out common code between the USE_SIGTRAP_SIGINFO and
!USE_SIGTRAP_SIGINFO blocks.
(linux_low_filter_event): Call save_stop_reason instead of
check_stopped_by_breakpoint and check_stopped_by_watchpoint.
Update comments.
(linux_wait_1): Update comments.
