[PATCH v3 01/24] New target methods for memory tagging support

Luis Machado luis.machado@linaro.org
Mon Nov 9 17:04:12 GMT 2020


Updates on v3:

- Updated the code documentation for the fetch_memtags and store_memtags
  methods.

Updates on v2:

- Added type parameter to fetch_memtags/store_memtags hooks.

--

This patch starts adding some of the generic pieces to accomodate memory
tagging.

We have three new target methods:

- supports_memory_tagging: Checks if the target supports memory tagging. This
  defaults to false for targets that don't support memory tagging.

- fetch_memtags: Fetches the allocation tags associated with a particular
  memory range [address, address + length).

  The default is to return 0 without returning any tags. This should only
  be called if memory tagging is supported.

- store_memtags: Stores a set of allocation tags for a particular memory
  range [address, address + length).

  The default is to return 0. This should only
  be called if memory tagging is supported.

It also adds a control option for enabling/disabling memory tagging
manually: set memory-tagging on/off.

The default is "on", with GDB making its use conditional to the
architecture supporting memory tagging.
