- Subject: [RFA] Fix a windows bug if two watchpoints are used
When using watchpoints with cygwin GDB,
I sometimes ended up getting a SIGTRAP
at the exact location of the watch.
I finally figured out a reproducible way of
generation this bug.
If I set two hardware watchpoints on
two integers ival1 and ival3,
dr[0] gets set to the address of ival1
and dr[1] to the address of ival3.
If I disable the first watchpoint,
but leave the second active,
dr[0] is changed to &ival3,
but dr[1] is not reset to zero,
as i386_low.reset_addr function is not set
in windows-nat.c.
The strange thing now is that on the next
hit of &ival3, dr[6] get the value 0xffff0ff3
as if both dr[0] and dr[1] have been hit...
This despite the fact that dr[7]
correctly says that only the first (i.e. dr[0]
debug register is active).
Now comes the tricky part, why does that generate a
SIGTRAP?
In i386_stopped_data_address,
the bits of dr_status_mirror (copied from current value of dr[6])
are checked from 0 to 3, but if hit is found for I,
the address value is taken from dr_mirror array.
Thus, according to dr[6], both debug registers 0 and 1
have been hit.
at i=0, the correct address of ival3 is found in dr_mirror[0],
but after for i=1, the value of dr_mirror[1] is used, but this
value is 0, as only one watch is active.
I don't really understand the reason why dr[6] gets the second bit
set, and to complicate things even more, this seems to be
processor or OS version dependent!
The bug shows up on a Dell Latitude D620 with Intel Core Duo T7200,
but not on a HP Pavilion with AMD Athlon ... both running Windows XP
(Dell Prof and HP Home, which might also make a difference).
I propose below a patch that adds
a testcase with the two watches, plus
a fix for windows-nat.c (implementing reset_addr)
plus an additional change to i386-nat.c
to further avoid similar problems on other native targets,
by resetting also the RW_LEN bits of the control register
when a given debug register is disabled.
Is this patch OK?

ChangeLog entry:
2009-06-04 Pierre Muller <muller@ics.u-strasbg.fr>
* i386-nat.c (I386_DR_DISABLE): Also reset the RW_LEN part of
control register.
* windows-nat.c (cygwin_reset_dr): New forward declaration.
(windows_continue): Force debug registers overwrite if
debug_register_changed is set.
(windows_resume): Likewise.
(init_windows_ops): Register cygwin_reset_dr.
(cygwin_reset_dr): New function.
