[Patch 6/6] Ptrace support for HARDWARE_WATCHPOINTS.

From: David Daney
Date: Mon Apr 21 2008 - 20:40:37 EST


This is the final part of the patch. Here we add ptrace support so that
gdb can read and set the watch register values.

We add two new ptrace requests PTRACE_GET_WATCH_REGS, and
PTRACE_SET_WATCH_REGS to access the watch registers. Since MIPS has more
than one format for watch registers, the data structure is a union, the
first structure member is an enum that tells us which layout is in use.
For this first cut at the patch, I only support mips32 style registers.
