[v3,0/9] Add MTE stubs for aarch64 user mode

Message

Gustavo Romero June 17, 2024, 6:28 a.m. UTC

This patchset adds the stubs necessary to support GDB memory tagging
commands on QEMU aarch64 user mode.

These new stubs handle the qIsAddressTagged, qMemTag, and QMemTag
packets, which allow GDB memory tagging subcommands 'check',
'print-allocation-tag', and 'set-allocation-tag' to work. The remaining
memory tagging commands ('print-logical-tag' and 'with-logical-tag')
will also work, but they don't rely on any stub because they perform
local operations.

Since the memory tagging stubs are not common to all architectures, this
patchset also introduces three functions: gdb_extend_qsupported_features,
gdb_extend_query_table, and gdb_extend_set_table. These functions can be
used to extend the target-specific 'qSupported' feature string and the
handlers for the 'q' (query) and 'Q' (set) packets. These new functions
are used to add the MTE stubs for the aarch64 gdbstub.
 
Note that this patchset requires a GDB that supports the
qIsAddressTagged packet (recently added to GDB), so the gdbstub MTE
tests introduced by it must be run using GDB's master branch, since the
GDB in the distros hasn't picked up the change yet.

Once GDB is built and installed locally, the tests can be exercised, for
example, this way:

make GDB=~/.local/bin/gdb run-tcg-tests-aarch64-linux-user -j 32

v2:
 - Addressed comments from Richard, Phil, and Alex
 - Made the series more granular by splitting it into more patches
 - Moved gdbstub command-specific structs and functions into a new header, gdbstub/commands.h
 - Fixed exception in allocation_tag_mem_probe()
 - Used MTE helpers ({store,load}_tag1 and allocation_tag_mem_probe) in the MTE stubs
 - Factored out MTE code to set TCF0, avoiding duplication (both prctl and gdbstub code use it)
 - Hoisted sscanf() out of loop in handle_Q_memtag stub and use gdb_hextomem instead
 - Rebased this series on Alex's gdb/next branch
 
v3:
 - Moved stubs to gdbstub64.c
 - Fixed build for BSD target
 - Fixed license tags in the new header files
 - Use of only function prototypes in mte_helpers.h
 - Added prefix to arm_set_mte_tcf0 and marked it inline
 - Moved target/arm/mte.h -> target/arm/tcg/mte_user_helper.h
 - Cleaned up leftover in mte-8 test


Cheers,
Gustavo
