Subject: RE: [PATCH 09/37] kgdb,blackfin: Add in kgdb_arch_set_pc for blackfin

A little update.

GDB uses field BFIN_PC as the resume address from debugging mode. But, field pc in struct pt_regs is where kernel resumes from an interrupt. So, BFIN_PC is actually retx when do kernel debugging.

Sonic should be able to check this.  our pc handling seems a little wonky atm:

arch/blackfin/kernel/kgdb.c:
void pt_regs_to_gdb_regs(unsigned long *gdb_regs, struct pt_regs *regs) { ...
    gdb_regs[BFIN_RETI] = regs->pc;
    gdb_regs[BFIN_RETX] = regs->retx;
    gdb_regs[BFIN_PC] = regs->pc;
...
}
...
void gdb_regs_to_pt_regs(unsigned long *gdb_regs, struct pt_regs *regs) { ...
    regs->pc = gdb_regs[BFIN_PC];
    regs->retx = gdb_regs[BFIN_PC];
    /* nothing for BFIN_RETI */
...
}
