  65. <h4 class="subsection">G.5.11 PowerPC Features</h4>
  66. <a name="index-target-descriptions_002c-PowerPC-features"></a>
  67. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.core</samp>&rsquo; feature is required for PowerPC
  68. targets. It should contain registers &lsquo;<samp>r0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>r31</samp>&rsquo;,
  69. &lsquo;<samp>pc</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>msr</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>cr</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>lr</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>ctr</samp>&rsquo;, and
  70. &lsquo;<samp>xer</samp>&rsquo;. They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target.
  71. </p>
  72. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.fpu</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  73. contain registers &lsquo;<samp>f0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>f31</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>fpscr</samp>&rsquo;.
  74. </p>
  75. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.altivec</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  76. contain registers &lsquo;<samp>vr0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>vr31</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>vscr</samp>&rsquo;, and
  77. &lsquo;<samp>vrsave</samp>&rsquo;. <small>GDB</small> will define pseudo-registers &lsquo;<samp>v0</samp>&rsquo;
  78. through &lsquo;<samp>v31</samp>&rsquo; as aliases for the corresponding &lsquo;<samp>vrX</samp>&rsquo;
  79. registers.
  80. </p>
  81. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.vsx</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  82. contain registers &lsquo;<samp>vs0h</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>vs31h</samp>&rsquo;. <small>GDB</small> will
  83. combine these registers with the floating point registers (&lsquo;<samp>f0</samp>&rsquo;
  84. through &lsquo;<samp>f31</samp>&rsquo;) and the altivec registers (&lsquo;<samp>vr0</samp>&rsquo; through
  85. &lsquo;<samp>vr31</samp>&rsquo;) to present the 128-bit wide registers &lsquo;<samp>vs0</samp>&rsquo; through
  86. &lsquo;<samp>vs63</samp>&rsquo;, the set of vector-scalar registers for POWER7.
  87. Therefore, this feature requires both &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.fpu</samp>&rsquo; and
  88. &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.altivec</samp>&rsquo;.
  89. </p>
  90. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.spe</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  91. contain registers &lsquo;<samp>ev0h</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>ev31h</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>acc</samp>&rsquo;, and
  92. &lsquo;<samp>spefscr</samp>&rsquo;. SPE targets should provide 32-bit registers in
  93. &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.core</samp>&rsquo; and provide the upper halves in
  94. &lsquo;<samp>ev0h</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>ev31h</samp>&rsquo;. <small>GDB</small> will combine
  95. these to present registers &lsquo;<samp>ev0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>ev31</samp>&rsquo; to the
  96. user.
  97. </p>
  98. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.ppr</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  99. contain the 64-bit register &lsquo;<samp>ppr</samp>&rsquo;.
  100. </p>
  101. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.dscr</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  102. contain the 64-bit register &lsquo;<samp>dscr</samp>&rsquo;.
  103. </p>
  104. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.tar</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  105. contain the 64-bit register &lsquo;<samp>tar</samp>&rsquo;.
  106. </p>
  107. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.ebb</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  108. contain registers &lsquo;<samp>bescr</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>ebbhr</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>ebbrr</samp>&rsquo;, all
  109. 64-bit wide.
  110. </p>
  111. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.linux.pmu</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  112. contain registers &lsquo;<samp>mmcr0</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>mmcr2</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>siar</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>sdar</samp>&rsquo;
  113. and &lsquo;<samp>sier</samp>&rsquo;, all 64-bit wide. This is the subset of the isa 2.07
  114. server PMU registers provided by <small>GNU</small>/Linux.
  115. </p>
  116. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.spr</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  117. contain registers &lsquo;<samp>tfhar</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>texasr</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>tfiar</samp>&rsquo;, all
  118. 64-bit wide.
  119. </p>
  120. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.core</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  121. contain the checkpointed general-purpose registers &lsquo;<samp>cr0</samp>&rsquo; through
  122. &lsquo;<samp>cr31</samp>&rsquo;, as well as the checkpointed registers &lsquo;<samp>clr</samp>&rsquo; and
  123. &lsquo;<samp>cctr</samp>&rsquo;. These registers may all be either 32-bit or 64-bit
  124. depending on the target. It should also contain the checkpointed
  125. registers &lsquo;<samp>ccr</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>cxer</samp>&rsquo;, which should both be 32-bit
  126. wide.
  127. </p>
  128. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.fpu</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  129. contain the checkpointed 64-bit floating-point registers &lsquo;<samp>cf0</samp>&rsquo;
  130. through &lsquo;<samp>cf31</samp>&rsquo;, as well as the checkpointed 64-bit register
  131. &lsquo;<samp>cfpscr</samp>&rsquo;.
  132. </p>
  133. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.altivec</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It
  134. should contain the checkpointed altivec registers &lsquo;<samp>cvr0</samp>&rsquo; through
  135. &lsquo;<samp>cvr31</samp>&rsquo;, all 128-bit wide. It should also contain the
  136. checkpointed registers &lsquo;<samp>cvscr</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>cvrsave</samp>&rsquo;, both 32-bit
  137. wide.
  138. </p>
  139. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.vsx</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  140. contain registers &lsquo;<samp>cvs0h</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>cvs31h</samp>&rsquo;. <small>GDB</small>
  141. will combine these registers with the checkpointed floating point
  142. registers (&lsquo;<samp>cf0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>cf31</samp>&rsquo;) and the checkpointed
  143. altivec registers (&lsquo;<samp>cvr0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>cvr31</samp>&rsquo;) to present the
  144. 128-bit wide checkpointed vector-scalar registers &lsquo;<samp>cvs0</samp>&rsquo; through
  145. &lsquo;<samp>cvs63</samp>&rsquo;. Therefore, this feature requires both
  146. &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.altivec</samp>&rsquo; and
  147. &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.fpu</samp>&rsquo;.
  148. </p>
  149. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.ppr</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  150. contain the 64-bit checkpointed register &lsquo;<samp>cppr</samp>&rsquo;.
  151. </p>
  152. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.dscr</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  153. contain the 64-bit checkpointed register &lsquo;<samp>cdscr</samp>&rsquo;.
  154. </p>
  155. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.power.htm.tar</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
  156. contain the 64-bit checkpointed register &lsquo;<samp>ctar</samp>&rsquo;.
