Thanks Mike for your support, it was very helpful.
to put everything together, on arm, gdb inserts a sw breakpoint by
patching the code with an undefined instruction ( see comments in
arm-tdep.c line7687) when a breakpoint is hit, an exception number 9
"Undefined Instruction exception" is
Hi Zied
From what I understood from your description, you are looking for a way to
mitigate the effects of BKPT instruction in trace data. Also the
description you have about how software breakpoints work is correct. We
write a trap (usually BKPT instruction or any variant of BKPT) to the
breakpoi
hi,
while testing the implementation in gdb of branch tracing on arm
processors using etm, I faced the the situation where a breakpoint was
set, was hit and then the execution of the program was continued. While
decoding generated traces, I got the address of the breakpoint
(0x400552) exec
