I have described that in the commit log:
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.
I do not have ARM32 machine for testing, I did find out the FAIL on
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Machine_Resources_For_Package_Maintainers
arm03-packager00.cloud.fedoraproject.org
arm03-packager01.cloud.fedoraproject.org
but that does not have too recent kernel and I haven't found an ARM32 machine
with newer kernel, both such allocations failed for me inside Red Hat:
Fedora-28-20180427.n.0 armhfp https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/recipes/5107255
Fedora-Rawhide-20180502.n.0 armhfp https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/recipes/5106357
due to:
Question
The following error occurred while installing the boot loader. The system will
not be bootable. Would you like to ignore this and continue with installation?
boot loader install failed
Please respond 'yes' or 'no':
It is true I could file some tracker PR for such XFAIL but then it looks to me
as it would get more easily forgotten while this existing ARM32 bug unrelated
to this my aarch64 fix should be probably fixed soon.
One should also bisect GDB if it isn't a regression. But TBH professionally
AFAIK I am also not so much interested in ARM32.

I have marked it as XFAIL for all targets where it makes sense and which
I could test.
