Description Andrew Cagney 2004-10-21 15:41:42 EDT 
GDB can't fetch the PowerPC's FPSCR register: 

  (gdb) print $fpscr
  reading register fpscr (#70): Input/output error.
  (gdb)

as occures when GDB is doing an inferior function call.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

 2.6.9-rc4

strace shows:

  ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER, 503, 0x288, 0xffffcdb0) = -1 EIO

and grubbing the headers:

  #define PT_FPR0 48
  define PT_FPSCR (PT_FPR0 + 32 + 1)
  (gdb) print/x (48 + 32 + 1) * 8
  $1 = 0x288

suggests that the value is correct.
Comment 1 David Woodhouse 2004-10-25 18:22:33 EDT 
See bug #91727. 

The value of PT_FPSCR for 64-bit userspace is different to the value
for 32-bit. This is because a 'double' is worth two longs for 32-bit
code, and only one for 64-bit code.

I think the kernel is doing the right thing -- if there's a kernel bug
it's purely the evilness of the way the interface is done. If we're
going to start criticising the ptrace interface... :)

Closing NOTABUG. Feel free to argue if you feel strongly ;)
