[PATCH v3 0/3] target/riscv: Expose "priv" register for GDB


From: Jonathan Behrens
Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] target/riscv: Expose "priv" register for GDB
Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2019 20:13:15 -0400

The third patch in this series makes the priv virtual register writitable. I'm
not entirely sure this is a good idea, so I split it out into its own patch. In
particular, this change will conflict with the hypervisor extension work which
assumes that the privilege mode does not change in unexpected cases.

As pointed out in a previous version of this series, GDB actually contains some
support already for the accessing the privilege mode via a virtual "priv"
register, including to convert the values into human readable forms:

(gdb) info reg priv
priv           0x3      prv:3 [Machine]

Changlog V3:
- Break patch into series
- Make priv a virtual register

Changelog V2:
- Use PRV_H and PRV_S instead of integer literals
