While GDB can work with any XML description given to it there is
special handling for SVE registers on the GDB side which makes the
users life a little better. The changes aren't that major and all the
registers save the $vg reported the same. All that changes is:

  - report org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.sve
  - use gdb nomenclature for names and types
  - minor re-ordering of the types to match reference
  - re-enable ieee_half (as we know gdb supports it now)
  - $vg is now a 64 bit int
  - check $vN and $zN aliasing in test

Hi Alex,

after updating to latest master today, I am getting the following error with

make check-tcg

qemu-system-aarch64: -gdb unix:path=/tmp/tmp9ru5tgk8qemu-gdbstub/gdbstub.socket,server: info: QEMU waiting for connection on: disconnected:unix:/tmp/tmp9ru5tgk8qemu-gdbstub/gdbstub.socket,server
warning: while parsing target description (at line 47): Vector "svevhf" references undefined type "ieee_half"
warning: Could not load XML target description; ignoring
qemu-system-aarch64: QEMU: Terminated via GDBstub

Seems to indicate it is "ieee_half" -related?

Thanks,

Claudio

So it looks like TDESC_TYPE_IEEE_HALF was only implemented in GDB 9.1
and there is no probing possible during the gdbstub connection. I guess
I can either go back to stubbing it out (which would break gdb's SVE
understanding) or up our minimum GDB version check for running tests.
That would mean less people test GDB (or at least until the distros
catch up) but considering it was zero people not too long ago maybe
that's acceptable?

This is not ideal. GDB should probably have a way to negotiate available
types.

I just ran into this trying to connect qemu-aarch64 to the
Ubuntu gdb-multiarch. I don't care about SVE at all in this
case, but the 'max' CPU includes SVE by default, so we report
it to gdb even if the guest program being run doesn't use SVE at all.
This effectively means that usecases that used to work no longer do :-(

Luis: do we really have to report to gdb all the possible
data types that might be in SVE vector registers? Won't
gdb autogenerate pseudoregisters the way it does with
Neon d0..d31 ?

thanks

Apologies. I got sidetracked with a few other things. I'm getting back 
to this one.

I'm guessing the less painful solution would be for QEMU to report a 
more compact XML description for SVE, supported by the oldest GDB we 
would like to validate things on, and leave it to GDB (newer releases) 
to add whatever pseudo-registers it deems appropriate.

Is it only the ieee_half type that is causing issues here? Or are there 
other types?
