Do you need it for 0.14 ?

I intend to include this and other in a pull request for master soon.

This looks reasonably important.  Can you just do a pull request for 
master for the patches that might be good for 0.14?

If you can do that in the next couple days, it'll make it into -rc2 no 
problem.

What I saw for m68k is it cannot access to the saved registers of the core dump  (i.e. you cannot use cross-compiled gdb to debug a core dump ...)

What you can try is to generate a core dump with a "kill -SIGILL" on a qemu-arm process (don't forget to do "ulimit -c unlimited" before) and then load the core with your cross-compiled gdb.

It is strange as we have in gdb, if I remember correctly, an explicit check of the size of prstatus:

gdb/bfd/elf.c:

    if defined (HAVE_PRSTATUS_T)

    static bfd_boolean
    elfcore_grok_prstatus (bfd *abfd, Elf_Internal_Note *note)
...
      if (note->descsz == sizeof (prstatus_t))
...

How do you test this patch ? Do you use native gdb on ARM ? Because, for m68k, cross-compiled gdb does not work (it cannot have sizeof(prstatus_t) for m68k).

Regards,
Laurent

I dunno about m68k, but if ARM gdb behaves differently natively
versus the cross-tools version (ie hosted on x86 to target ARM)
then that sounds like a bug we in Linaro would like to know
about :-)

I tried both native and cross-gdb, version 7.2. Both fail with your patch applied
and work fine without it.

Before your patch, objdump (CodeSourcery cs2009q3 cross) output looks like:

Hi,

I've no need, just put it in your tree where you want...

Actually that patch is not ok. The issues you fix on m68k appear
on arm/eabi after applying your patch. bswap part appears ok, but
the padding is needed atleast on arm.

[Qemu-devel] [0.14] Queue of 0.14 patches/pull?

[Paolo Bonzini]

Before creating rc1 we need to make sure that all patches for 0.14 have 
been reviewed and applied.

Please reply to this message with a subject starting with "[PING 0.14]" 
and a link to patchwork, gmane, or whatnot; or "[PULL 0.14]" for tree 
pulls.  Also, I believe all patches meant for stable should also start 
having "[PATCH 0.14]", too.

Myself I have only

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/88490

to ping. :)  It is in branch qemu-char-echo of
git://github.com/bonzini/qemu.git as well.

Thanks!
