[PATCH v6 02/25] New gdbarch memory tagging hooks

Luis Machado luis.machado@linaro.org
Mon Mar 22 13:20:56 GMT 2021


Updates on v6:

- NULL -> nullptr.
- Adjusted function comments.
- Fixed identation.
- Change memtag_type to enum class.
- Changed default_memtag_to_string to error out.

Updates on v4:

- Updated return type of gdbarch_set_memtags to bool.
- Renamed gdbarch_memtag_mismatch_p to gdbarch_memtag_matches_p.
- Renamed gdbarch_granule_size to gdbarch_memtag_granule_size.

--

We need some new gdbarch hooks to help us manipulate memory tags without having
to have GDB call the target methods directly.

This patch adds the following hooks:

gdbarch_memtag_to_string
--
Returns a printable string corresponding to the tag.

gdbarch_tagged_address_p
--
Checks if a particular address is protected with memory tagging.

gdbarch_memtag_matches_p
--
Checks if the logical tag of a pointer and the allocation tag from the address
the pointer points to matches.

gdbarch_set_memtags:
--
Sets either the allocation tag or the logical tag for a particular value.

gdbarch_get_memtag:
--
Gets either the allocation tag or the logical tag for a particular value.

gdbarch_memtag_granule_size
--
Sets the memory tag granule size, which represents the number of bytes a
particular allocation tag covers. For example, this is 16 bytes for
AArch64's MTE.

I've used struct value as opposed to straight CORE_ADDR so other architectures
can use the infrastructure without having to rely on a particular type for
addresses/pointers.  Some architecture may use pointers of 16 bytes that don't
fit in a CORE_ADDR, for example.

gdb/ChangeLog:

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