Description IBM Bug Proxy 2016-02-03 12:50:34 UTC

Comment 1 IBM Bug Proxy 2016-02-03 12:50:44 UTC
A customer with Fedora 22 x86_64 and qemu-ppc64le 2.1.3 running AT8.0.3 gdb connected to QEMU gdbserver (QEMU running with '-g <port-number>' option) is unable to access part of the ppc64le registers.

Here is the output when trying to access VSX registers:

i r $vs0
Invalid register `vs0'

i r vs0
Invalid register `vs0'

i r $vs32
Invalid register `vs32'

i r $vr0
vr0            {uint128 = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000, v4_float =
{0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v4_int32 = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v8_int16 = {0x0,
0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v16_int8 = {0x0 <repeats 16 times>}}


Here are the upstream QEMU commits to fix TCG guests on all platforms:
