[Valgrind-developers] e500 support for Valgrind 3.5 (interested in working on it)

[Guillaume K. <gkn...@pr...>]

Hi,

I'm interested in working on e500 (PPC variant used on some Freescale
SoC, and maybe in other places) support for Valgrind 3.5

I found two related posts on this ML archives
(from the Valgrind 3.3 era)
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.debugging.valgrind.devel/2278
and
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.debugging.valgrind.devel/2729

Does anybody know what is a status of e500 support in Valgrind?
What should I take a look at first to do the port? (I don't know
anything about Valgrind internals)

Trying to cross-compile Valgrind 3.5 I got the build time error
m_dispatch/dispatch-ppc32-linux.S:142: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `stvx'
[ ... more unrecognized opcodes follow ... ]
Checking in my PowerPC e500 Core Family Reference Manual, they are not
supported by the e500, so I obviously will need to do some changes
there.

Any idea if other changes would be needed?

Cheers!
