# Progress # * TCWG-655, Workaround ARM linux kernel ptrace bug on setting VFP registers. [2/10] Think about different approaches to workaround the kernel bug, but can't work unfortunately. Propose an approach that workaround it in gdb testing by setting affinity if the kernel is known broken. People agree on this.
* TCWG-333, Thumb mode function pointer assignment in GDB. [3/10] It is broken when you assign a function to a function pointer in thumb mode in GDB. My original attempt is to skip the test, because it is difficult to do what MIPS does nowadays. After some discussions, I realize it is a GDB bug, and we should fix it. Fortunately it is broken on ppc64 as well because of function descriptor :) * TCWG-518, ARM range stepping patches. [2/10] V3 are reviewed, but I misunderstood one comments to V2. I'll update patches, retest and post them. * ARM linux kernel raises SIGILL for unknown syscall number, while GDB expects kernel returns -ENOSYS. [2/10] The behaviour is different from other arch. The patch in GDB side is committed, but still need to kernel people why ARM kernel behaves this way. * Misc [1/10] # Plan # * All above, * Off on Thur and Fri. -- Yao _______________________________________________ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
