Subject: [PATCH] Fix displaced stepping watchpoint check order
Date: Tue,  8 Jun 2021 12:42:30 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210608154230.354202-1-luis.machado@linaro.org> (raw)

When checking the stopped data address, I noticed, under some circumstances,
that the instruction at PC wasn't the expected one. This happens because the
displaced stepping machinery restores the buffer before checking if the
instruction executed successfully, which in turn calls the watchpoint check.

I guess this was never noticed because stopped data address checks usually
don't need to fetch the instruction at PC, but AArch64 needs to do it from
now on.

We should check if the instruction executed successfully before we restore the
scratchpad contents.

Regression tested on aarch64-linux/Ubuntu 20.04.

gdb/ChangeLog:

YYYY-MM-DD  Luis Machado  <luis.machado@linaro.org>

	* displaced-stepping.c (displaced_step_buffers::finish): Move check
	upwards.
