From: Yao Qi Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2016 09:51:20 +0000 (+0000) Subject: Use code cache in aarch64 prologue analyzer X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fc2f703edb656c69b0026a006c6063cdb255e06a;p=binutils-gdb.git Use code cache in aarch64 prologue analyzer This patch change aarch prologue analyzer using code cache, in order to improve the performance of remote debugging. gdb.perf/skip-prologue.exp (measured by wall-time) is improved when the program is compiled without debug information.
