Subject: [PATCH] Aarch64: Fix watchpoints set on non-8-byte-aligned addresses
 are always missed (PR 19806)

Ref: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19806

As described in detail on the bug report, on Aarch64, some unaligned
watchpoints are currently missed.  For example, with:

 union
 {
   char buf[4];
   unsigned int ul;
 } u;

 int
 main ()
 {
   u.ul = 0xffffffff;
   return 0;
 }

on x86-64, we get:

 (gdb) watch u.buf[1]
 Hardware watchpoint 1: u.buf[1]
 (gdb) c
 Continuing.
 Hardware watchpoint 1: u.buf[1]

 Old value = 0 '\000'
 New value = -1 '\377'
 main () at watch.c:11
 11              return 0;
 (gdb)

While on Aarch64, GDB misses the watchpoint hit.

Actually, the kernel reports the hit to gdb, and linux-nat.c forwards
the event to infrun.c.  However, it doesn't work as expected because
the Aarch64 backend code aligns the inserted watchpoint's address to
an 8-byte boundary, and then when the watchpoint triggers, the backend
reports that aligned address as the watchpoint stop address.  Since
that address falls out of any memory range covered by watchpoints that
the core of GDB knows about, the watchpoint hit is not reported to the
user (it's considered a spurious/moribund watchpoint trap, and
ignored).

This patch fixes it, by trying to match the kernel-reported trapped
address (ADDR_TRAP) with a watched region, so that the core of gdb
figures out which watchpoint triggered.

Additionally this patch makes GDB support any watchpoint masks as
described here:

 kernel RFE: aarch64: ptrace: BAS: Support any contiguous range
 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20207

The above is already fixed in current Linux kernels.

The patch trades missing watchpoints (false negatives) for the
occasional rwatch/awatch false positive on unfixed kernels.  The
latter can happen if you have watchpoints set in near addresses; gdb
may report the wrong watchpoint being hit.

Note the change causes the aarch64 backend to merge fewer watchpoints,
since it now only considers the requested ranges for merging instead
of the enlarged/aligned ranges.  I.e., with multiple overlapping
watchpoints, gdb may run out of the 4 hardware watchpoint registers
earlier than before.  While we could make gdb considered the enlarged
ranges when running on an older kernel, I do not think it's worth the
bother, since older kernels will eventually be phased out.

Tested on RHEL-7.{3,4} for no regressions on:
	kernel-4.10.0-6.el7.aarch64 (contiguous watchpoints supported)
	kernel-4.5.0-15.el7.aarch64 (contiguous watchpoints unsupported)

    Essentially, unaligned watchpoint is achieved by minimally

+   On kernels that predate the support for Byte Address Select (BAS)
+   in the hardware watchpoint control register, the offset from the
+   base address is always zero, and so in that case the trade-off is
+   that there will be false-positive hits for the read-type or the

+   region for any content change, and transparently resumes a thread
+   from a watchpoint trap if there is no change to the watched region.
 
    Another limitation is that because the watched region is enlarged,

    aarch64_stopped_data_address may be outside of the original watched
    region, especially when the triggering instruction is accessing a
    larger region.  When the fault address is not within any known
    range, watchpoints_triggered in gdb will get confused, as the
    higher-level watchpoint management is only aware of original
    watched regions, and will think that some unknown watchpoint has
-   been triggered.  In such a case, gdb may stop without displaying
