When the inferior program changes the SVE length, GDB can stop tracking
some registers as it obtains the new gdbarch that corresponds to the
updated length:
Breakpoint 1, do_sve_ioctl_test () at sve-ioctls.c:44
44 res = prctl(PR_SVE_SET_VL, i, 0, 0, 0, 0);
(gdb) print i
$2 = 32
(gdb) info registers

Notice that register tpidr disappeared when vg (which holds the vector
length) changed from 8 to 4. The tpidr register is provided by the
org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.tls feature.
This happens because the code that searches for a new gdbarch to match the
new vector length in aarch64_linux_nat_target::thread_architecture doesn't
take into account the features present in the target description associated
with the previous gdbarch. This patch makes it do that.
Since the id member of struct gdbarch_info is now unused, it's removed.
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.
