[PATCH v3 04/12] btrace: Handle stepping and goto for auxiliary instructions.

Wed Jun 16 07:41:57 GMT 2021


Print the auxiliary data when stepping. Don't allow to goto an auxiliary
instruction.

This patch is in preparation for the new ptwrite feature, which is based on
auxiliary instructions.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2021-06-14  Felix Willgerodt  <felix.willgerodt@intel.com>

	* record-btrace.c: (record_btrace_single_step_forward): Handle
	BTRACE_INSN_AUX.
	(record_btrace_single_step_backward): Likewise.
	(record_btrace_goto): Likewise.
