This adds support for the "vGetTLSAddr" GDB query which retrieves the
address of a TLS variable by offset from the beginning of the TLS memory
space for the given thread. This offset does not include the size of the
thread control block which is at the beginning of every TLS area as used
by RTEMS. Notably, the returned address is big-endian rather than the
little-endian typical with other responses.
This functionality does not include retrieval of addresses for TLS
variables hosted in loadable modules, only TLS variables in the host
binary.
Closes#5271
Using 32bit types like uint32_t for pointers creates issues on 64 bit
architectures like AArch64. Replaced occurrences of these with
uintptr_t, which will work for both 32 and 64 bit architectures. Added
hex_decode_addr function to rtems-debugger.
- Fix destorying the target and thread parts.
- Fix the ARM backend to support Cortex-A8 and ARM mode code.
- Use the DBGDSCR interrupt mask when single stepping.
- Use the DBGDSCR method of entry to debug mode to filter the
execptions.
- Add support for BSPs to control the ARM backend.
- Add `printk` support to aid multi-core debugging.
- Add lock trace to aid lock debugging.
- Fixes to gcc-7.1 warnings.
- Fixes from ticket #2879.
- Add verbose command controls.
- Change using the RTEMS sys/lock.h API to manage exception threads.
- ARM hardware breakpoint fixes. Support for SMP stepping
is not implemented, this requires use of the context id
register.
Closes#2879.
