  To: qemu-devel; +Cc: Paolo Bonzini, Richard Henderson, Andreas Färber, patches

These patches implement support for the ARM architecturally
defined watchpoints, for ARMv8 and ARMv7 CPUs.

The first three patches improve the generic exec.c watchpoint
code to provide some features that ARM watchpoints require.

Patch 4 is a cleanup that makes an ad-hoc per-target registered
callback function a proper QOM method (Andreas, I cc'd you on
this series in case you wanted to review this one.)

Patches 5..10 do the actual work. There are a couple of
slight corner cases we don't currently implement:
 * LDRT/STRT from kernel mode are supposed to trigger watchpoints
   set to fire on user mode accesses. This would require some
   effort to plumb the mmu_idx through into the watchpoint-check
   callbacks in exec.c, and Linux doesn't use it.
 * the cache-invalidate instruction DC IVAC strictly speaking should
   trigger watchpoints, but we currently just NOP that so it won't.

but all the functionality Linux uses works fine.

Tested: v7 kernel, v8 kernel with 64-bit gdbserver, v8 kernel
with 32-bit gdbserver using the compat interface. (A kernel
bug means 32-bit compat will incorrectly report watchpoint hits
to gdb as SIGTRAP. A proposed fix for this is here:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git/commit/?h=fixes/core&id=27d7ff273c2aad37b28f6ff0cab2cfa35b51e648
and will presumably make its way into upstream kernels.)

Peter Maydell (10):
  exec.c: Relax restrictions on watchpoint length and alignment
  exec.c: Provide full set of dummy wp remove functions in user-mode
  exec.c: Record watchpoint fault address and direction
  cpu-exec: Make debug_excp_handler a QOM CPU method
  target-arm: Implement setting of watchpoints
  target-arm: Move extended_addresses_enabled() to internals.h
  target-arm: Implement handling of fired watchpoints
  target-arm: Set DBGDSCR.MOE for debug exceptions taken to AArch32
  target-arm: Remove comment about MDSCR_EL1 being dummy implementation
  target-arm: Implement minimal DBGVCR, OSDLR_EL1, MDCCSR_EL0
