[arm] watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: skip setting HW points on some address
Commit Message
From: Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
Hi,
ARM linux kernel has some requirements on the address/length setting
for HW breakpoints/watchpoints, but watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp doesn't
consider them and sets HW points on various addresses. Many fails
are causes as a result:
stepi^M
Warning:^M
Could not insert hardware watchpoint 20.^M
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:^M
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.^M
^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: always-inserted off: watch x watch: : width 2, iter 2: base + 1: stepi advanced
watch *(buf.byte + 2 + 1)@2^M
Hardware watchpoint 388: *(buf.byte + 2 + 1)@2^M
Warning:^M
Could not insert hardware watchpoint 388.^M
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:^M
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.^M
^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp: always-inserted on: watch x watch: : width 2, iter 2: base + 1: watch *(buf.byte + 2 + 1)@2
This patch is to reflect kernel requirements in watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp
in order to skip some tests.
gdb/testsuite:
2015-04-10 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.base/watchpoint-reuse-slot.exp (valid_addr_p): Return
false for some offset and width combinations which aren't
supported by linux kernel.
