[PATCH] gdb-power10-single-step
Hi,
This is based on a patch originally written by Alan Modra.
Powerpc / Power10 ISA 3.1 adds prefixed instructions, which
are 8 bytes in length. This is in contrast to powerpc previously
always having 4 byte instruction length. This patch implements
changes to allow GDB to better detect prefixed instructions, and
handle single stepping across the 8 byte instructions.
Added #defines to help test for PNOP and prefix instructions.
Update ppc_displaced_step_copy_insn() to handle pnop and prefixed
instructions whem R=0 (non-pc-relative).
Updated ppc_displaced_step_fixup() to properly handle the offset
value matching the current instruction size
Updated the for-loop within ppc_deal_with_atomic_sequence() to
count instructions properly in case we have a mix of 4-byte and
8-byte instructions within the atomic_sequence_length.
Added testcase and harness to exercise pc-relative load/store
instructions with R=0.
2021-04-12 Will Schmidt <will_schmidt@vnet.ibm.com>
gdb/ChangeLog:
* rs6000-tdep.c: Add support for single-stepping of
prefixed instructions.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/powerpc-plxv-nonrel.s: Testcase using
non-relative plxv instructions.
* gdb.arch/powerpc-plxv-nonrel.exp: Testcase harness.
