63 /* The PA-BSD kernel has support for using the data memory break bit
64 to implement fast watchpoints.
65
66 Watchpoints on the PA act much like traditional page protection
67 schemes, but with some notable differences.
68
69 First, a special bit in the page table entry is used to cause
70 a trap when a specific page is written to. This avoids having
71 to overload watchpoints on the page protection bits. This makes
72 it possible for the kernel to easily decide if a trap was caused
73 by a watchpoint or by the user writing to protected memory and can
74 signal the user program differently in each case.
75
76 Second, the PA has a bit in the processor status word which causes
77 data memory breakpoints (aka watchpoints) to be disabled for a single
78 instruction. This bit can be used to avoid the overhead of unprotecting
79 and reprotecting pages when it becomes necessary to step over a watchpoint.
80
81
82 When the kernel receives a trap indicating a write to a page which
83 is being watched, the kernel performs a couple of simple actions. First
84 is sets the magic "disable memory breakpoint" bit in the processor
85 status word, it then sends a SIGTRAP to the process which caused the
86 trap.
87
88 GDB will take control and catch the signal for the inferior. GDB then
89 examines the PSW-X bit to determine if the SIGTRAP was caused by a
90 watchpoint firing. If so GDB single steps the inferior over the
91 instruction which caused the watchpoint to trigger (note because the
92 kernel disabled the data memory break bit for one instruction no trap
93 will be taken!). GDB will then determines the appropriate action to
94 take. (this may include restarting the inferior if the watchpoint
95 fired because of a write to an address on the same page as a watchpoint,
96 but no write to the watched address occured). */
97

99 anything (generic routines already check that all intermediates are
100 in memory). */

104 /* When a hardware watchpoint fires off the PC will be left at the
105 instruction which caused the watchpoint. It will be necessary for
106 GDB to step over the watchpoint.
107
108 On a PA running BSD, it is trivial to identify when it will be
109 necessary to step over a hardware watchpoint as we can examine
110 the PSW-X bit. If the bit is on, then we trapped because of a
111 watchpoint, else we trapped for some other reason. */

120
121 The kernel will always set this bit before notifying the inferior
122 that it hit a watchpoint. Thus, the inferior can single step over
123 the instruction which caused the watchpoint to fire. This avoids
124 the traditional need to disable the watchpoint, step the inferior,
