;; [aarch64] Fix missed unaligned hardware watchpoints (RH BZ 1347993).

    aarch64: PR 19806: watchpoints: false negatives + PR 20207 contiguous ones

    Some unaligned watchpoints were currently missed.

    On old kernels as specified in
            kernel RFE: aarch64: ptrace: BAS: Support any contiguous range (edit)
            https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20207
    after this patch some other unaligned watchpoints will get reported as false
    positives.

    With new kernels all the watchpoints should work exactly.

    There may be a regresion that it now less merges watchpoints so that with
    multiple overlapping watchpoints it may run out of the 4 hardware watchpoint
    registers.  But as discussed in the original thread GDB needs some generic
    watchpoints merging framework to be used by all the target specific code.
    Even current FSF GDB code does not merge it perfectly.  Also with the more
    precise watchpoints one can technically merge them less.  And I do not think
    it matters too much to improve mergeability only for old kernels.
    Still even on new kernels some better merging logic would make sense.

    There remains one issue:
            kernel-4.15.14-300.fc27.armv7hl
            FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp: continue
            FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp: continue
            (gdb) continue
            Continuing.
            Unexpected error setting watchpoint: Invalid argument.
            (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/watchpoint-unaligned.exp: continue
    But that looks as a kernel bug to me.
    (1) It is not a regression by this patch.
    (2) It is unrelated to this patch.

 		What has changed in GDB?
 	     (Organized release by release)
 
+* Aarch64/Linux hardware watchpoints improvements
+
+  Hardware watchpoints on unaligned addresses are now properly
+  supported when running Linux kernel 4.10 or higher: read and access
+  watchpoints are no longer spuriously missed, and all watchpoints
+  lengths between 1 and 8 bytes are supported.  On older kernels,
+  watchpoints set on unaligned addresses are no longer missed, with
+  the tradeoff that there is a possibility of false hits being
+  reported.
+
 *** Changes in GDB 8.1
 
 * Fortran: Support pointers to dynamic types.

    Essentially, unaligned watchpoint is achieved by minimally

+   On kernels that predate the support for Byte Address Select (BAS)
+   in the hardware watchpoint control register, the offset from the

    Another limitation is that because the watched region is enlarged,

    range, watchpoints_triggered in gdb will get confused, as the
