How it works generally [1]: GDB asks for the target.xml file which contains the target description along with the list of available feature XMLs. GDB then asks for each of the XML files in sequence. The XML files contain a list of registers descriptions: When the user tries to access a register, GDB reads the XML file in sequence and sends QEMU the number of the register. This number is sequential across all feature files. The index provided by GDB must be converted by QEMU to match QEMU's internal representation. A set of callbacks are implemented to read/write the register. In this series: The first patch implements the dynamic generation of the power-spr.xml file. Making it dynamically facilitates converting the GDB index to an index useful for addressing the env->spr array. The second patch implements the gdb_{get,set}_spr_reg callbacks along with the convertion from GDB index to QEMU index. The third patch enables the functionality. https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Target-Descriptions.html v1 -> v2: - patch 1: explicitly store the gdb_id and add comment explaining why we need it - patch 2: use gdb_id to find the correct env->spr array's index https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2019-01/msg00648.html Fabiano Rosas (3): target/ppc: Add SPRs XML generation code for gdbstub target/ppc: Add GDB callbacks for SPRs target/ppc: Enable reporting of SPRs to GDB target/ppc/cpu.h | 8 +++++ target/ppc/gdbstub.c | 54 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ target/ppc/translate_init.inc.c | 58 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 3 files changed, 118 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1
