The Intel (R) linear address masking (LAM) feature modifies the checking applied to 64-bit linear addresses. With this so-called "modified canonicality check" the processor masks the metadata bits in a pointer before using it as a linear address. LAM supports two different modes that differ regarding which pointer bits are masked and can be used for metadata: LAM 48 resulting in a LAM width of 15 and LAM 57 resulting in a LAM width of 6. This patch adjusts watchpoint addresses based on the currently enabled LAM mode using the untag mask provided in the /proc/<pid>/status file. As LAM can be enabled at runtime or as the configuration may change when entering an enclave, GDB checks enablement state each time a watchpoint is updated. In contrast to the patch implemented for ARM's Top Byte Ignore "Clear non-significant bits of address on memory access", it is not necessary to adjust addresses before they are passed to the target layer cache, as for LAM tagged pointers are supported by the system call to read memory. Additionally, LAM applies only to addresses used for data accesses. Thus, it is sufficient to mask addresses used for watchpoints. The following examples are based on a LAM57 enabled program. Before this patch tagged pointers were not supported for watchpoints: ~~~ (gdb) print pi_tagged $2 = (int *) 0x10007ffffffffe004 (gdb) watch *pi_tagged Hardware watchpoint 2: *pi_tagged (gdb) c Continuing. Couldn't write debug register: Invalid argument. ~~~~ Once LAM 48 or LAM 57 is enabled for the current program, GDB can now specify watchpoints for tagged addresses with LAM width 15 or 6, respectively.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
