Subject: [PULL 17/17] gdbstub: update aarch64-core.xml
Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2025 17:26:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250605162651.2614401-18-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250605162651.2614401-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org>
From: Manos Pitsidianakis <manos.pitsidianakis@linaro.org>
Update aarch64-core.xml to include field definitions for PSTATE, which
in gdb is modelled in the cpsr (current program status register)
pseudo-register, named after the actual cpsr register in armv7.
Defining the fields layout of the register allows easy inspection of for
example, the current exception level (EL):
For example. Before booting a Linux guest, EL=2, but after booting and
Ctrl-C'ing in gdb, we get EL=0:
(gdb) info registers $cpsr
cpsr 0x20402009 [ SP EL=2 BTYPE=0 PAN C ]
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
^C
Thread 2 received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
0x0000ffffaaff286c in ?? ()
(gdb) info registers $cpsr
cpsr 0x20001000 [ EL=0 BTYPE=0 SSBS C ]
The aarch64-core.xml has been updated to match exactly the version
retrieved from upstream gdb, retrieved in 2025-05-19 from HEAD commit
9f4dc0b137c86f6ff2098cb1ab69442c69d6023d.
