ARC: gdbserver breakage in Big-Endian configuration #1
[Based on mainline commit 502a0c77: "ARC: pt_regs update #5"] gdbserver needs @stop_pc, served by ptrace, but fetched from pt_regs differently, based on in_brkpt_traps(), which in turn relies on additional machine state in pt_regs->event bitfield. unsigned long orig_r8:16, event:16; For big endian config, this macro was returning false, despite being in breakpoint Trap exception, causing wrong @stop_pc to be returned to gdb. Issue #1: In BE, @event above is at offset 2 in word, while a STW insn at offset 0 was used to update it. Resort to using ST insn which updates the half-word at right location. Issue #2: The union involving bitfields causes all the members to be laid out at offset 0. So with fix #1 above, ASM was now updating at offset 2, "C" code was still referencing at offset 0. Fixed by wrapping bitfield in a struct. Reported-by:Noam Camus <noamc@ezchip.com> Tested-by:
