There are two ways to implement h/w watchpoints: in the target (as was
done for remote.c); or in the per-architecture code (as was done for
native i386). Both are correct. The missing bit is code to get the
per-architecture logic working with a remote target - this would involve
juggling things so that the h/w watchpoint registers are included in the
regcache and the target/arch to select either a local/remote mechanism.
Ok; I think I understand. The CRISv32 target is unlikely to ever have a
native debugger, but as a remote target it will be debuggable in kernel
mode (using a traditional remote stub) and in user mode (using
Gdbserver). For kernel mode, I have implemented the h/w watchpoint
register setup as a response to z/Z packets, so either I have to
duplicate that in the Gdbserver, or move it all into GDB, and have it
done through G packets.
