Bug #: 15386
Summary: stapdyn can't set registers
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: dyninst
AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: jistone@redhat.com
Classification: Unclassified
The way registers are filled now (PR14573) is an input-only scheme. We're
passing a BPatch_registerExpr for each register and filling it into pt_regs
ourselves. This leaves no way for us to return updated values.
If we could get Dyninst to hand us its spill area as a pt_regs struct, that
would be ideal -- both as a faster way to get registers in the handler, and to
let us influence what gets restored to the process.
