[PATCH v2 03/24] Add GDB-side remote target support for memory tagging

Luis Machado luis.machado@linaro.org
Thu Oct 22 19:59:53 GMT 2020


Updates for v2:

- Add type field to target hooks.
- Add type data to qMemTags and QMemTags. The packets now look like this:

qMemTags:<address>,<length>:<type>
QMemTags:<address>,<length>:<type>:<uninterpreted tag bytes>

--

This patch adds memory tagging support to GDB's remote side, with
packet string checks, new packet support and an implementation of
the two new tags methods fetch_atags and store_atags.

GDBserver needs to know how to read/write allocation tags, since that is
done via ptrace.  It doesn't need to know about logical tags.

The new packets are:

qMemTags:<address>,<length>
--

Reads tags from the address range [<address>, <address + length>)

QMemTags:<address>,<length>:<uninterpreted tag bytes>
--
Writes the tags represented by the uninterpreted bytes to the address range
[<address>, <address + length>).

The interpretation of what to do with the tag bytes is up to the arch-specific
code.

Note that these new packets consider the case of packet size overflow as an
error, given the common use case is to read/write only a few memory tags at
a time.  Having to use a couple new packets for multi-part transfers wouldn't
make sense for the little use it would have.

gdb/ChangeLog:

YYYY-MM-DD  Luis Machado  <luis.machado@linaro.org>

	* remote.c (PACKET_memory_tagging_feature): New enum.
	(remote_memory_tagging_p): New function.
	(remote_protocol_features): New "memory-tagging" entry.
	(remote_target::remote_query_supported): Handle memory tagging
	support.
	(remote_target::supports_memory_tagging): Implement.
	(create_fmemtags_request, parse_fmemtags_reply)
	(create_smemtags_request): New functions.
	(remote_target::fetch_memtags): Implement.
	(remote_target::store_memtags): Implement.
	(_initialize_remote): Add new "memory-tagging-feature"
	config command.
