This second half of the patch is proposed to clean up some GDB keep alive
issues on arm7_9 targets that start up with very slow clocks. If an attempt
is made to write to key registers on the processor with a slow jtag speed,
GDB timeout warnings appear on the console (at least mine) when "reset halt"
or "reset init" commands are issued from the gdb client:

I added additional keep alive steps in areas that troubleshooting revealed
were causing problems. I only did this however for non-fast write memory
accesses. I don't think most people would be using fast memory accesses to
write to memory when the jtag and system clocks are slow anyway.
If you disagree with my feeling, think there is a more elegant way to handle
the problem, or think the patch will cause other unforeseen problems with
other targets, let me know. As you can see below, the patch does eliminate
the problem on my development station and I suspect that it will benefit
others.

Page reads using hwecc4_infix layout segfaulted for check_bad_blocks because
the read assumed a valid data buffer, which check_bad_blocks does not use
(it only passes a 6 byte buffer for the start of OOB).
This version copes with undersized or missing data or oob buffers and uses
random read commands within the page to skip unwanted areas of data/OOB for
speed.
NOTE: Running check_bad_blocks with this layout will be reading infix
OOB locations, not manufacturer bad block markers. This means that if you
check blocks written in infix layout they will appear good, but manufacturer-
marked bad blocks may also appear good.
If you want to scan for manufactuer-marked bad blocks, you need to enable
raw_access before running check_bad_blocks, or use the non-infix layout.

Since NOR flash devices does not handle "byte enable lanes",
each read/write access involves the whole "chip_width".
When multiple devices are in parallel, usually all chips are
enabled during each access.
All such cases are compatible with flash accesses at
"bus_width" size.
Access at "bus_width" size is mandatory for write access to
avoid transferring of garbage values to flash.
During read access the flash controller should take care,
and discard unneeded bytes. Anyway, it is good practice to
use "bus_width" size also for read.
Every memory access that does not respect "bus_width" size
is marked with a "FIXME" comment.

Review and simplify computation of bufferwsize.
Add comments about variables' meaning.
The same code is present 3 times in the file.
Current patch updates all the 3 instances.
Step 1)
Replace "switch(bank->chip_width) {...}".
Illegal values of bank->chip_width are already dropped.
For legal values, the code is equivalent to:
bufferwsize = buffersize / bank->chip_width;
Step 2)
The above code replacement plus the following line:
bufferwsize /= (bank->bus_width / bank->chip_width);
is merged in a single formula:
bufferwsize = (buffersize / bank->chip_width) /
(bank->bus_width / bank->chip_width);
and simplified as:
bufferwsize = buffersize / bank->bus_width;

Arguments chip_width and bus_width of command "flash bank" are
not fully checked.
While bus_width is later on redundantly checked in several other
parts (e.g. in cfi_command_val()) and generates run-time error,
chip_width is never checked, nor related to actual bus_width
value.
Added check to avoid:
- (chip_width == 0), that would mean no memory chip at all,
avoiding also division by zero e.g. in cfi_get_u8();
- (bus_width == 0), that would mean no bus at all;
- unsupported cases of chip_width or bus_width value not power
of 2;
- unsupported case of chip width wider than bus.

The current timeout for STM32 flash block erase and flash mass erase is

I'd also consider it a bug that the code does not detect a timeout, but
just assumes that the operation has completed. The attached patch does
not address this bug.

This patch adds support for the length argument to the xscale implementation of
the wp command. Per discussion with David, the length argument specifies the
range of addresses over which a memory access should generate a debug exception.
This patch utilizes the "mask" feature of the xscale debug hardware to implement
the correct functionality of the length argument. Some limitations imposed by
the hardware are:
- The length must be a power of two, with a minumum of 4.
- Two data breakpoint registers are available, allowing for two watchpoints.
However, if the length of a watchpoint is greater than four, both registers
are used (the second for a mask value), limiting the number of watchpoints
to one.
This patch also removes a useless call to xscale_get_reg(dbcon) in
xscale_set_watchpoint() (value had already been read from the register cache,
and the same previously read value is then modified and written back).
I have been using and testing this patch for a couple days.
Questions, corrections, criticisms of course gratefully received.
If the flash has not yet been probed and GDB connects while the target is
running, the flash probe triggered by GDB's memory map read will fail. In
that case the returned memory map will be empty, causing a subsequent load
from within GDB to fail. There's not much you can do from GDB to recover,
other than a restart; a 'mon reset init' and manual 'mon flash probe' won't
help since GDB has already made up its mind about the memory map.
It seems there's no reason to require the target to be halted when probing
the flash. Remove the check to let a valid memory map be provided to GDB
even when connecting to a running target.

This patch fixes the xscale_analyze_trace() function. This function was
defective for a trace collected in 'fill' mode (hiccups with repeated
instructions) and completely broken when buffer overflowed in 'wrap' mode. The
reason for the latter case is that the checkpoint registers were interpreted
incorrectly when two checkpoints are present in the trace (which will be true in
'wrap' mode once the buffer fills). In this case, checkpoint1 register will
contain the older entry, and checkpoint0 the newer. The original code assumed
the opposite. I eventually gave up trying to understand all the logic of the
function, and rewrote it. I think it's much cleaner and understandable now. I
have been using and testing this for a few weeks now. I'm confident it hasn't
regressed in any way.
Also added capability to handle (as best as possible) the case where an
instruction can not be read from the loaded trace image; e.g., partial image.
This was a 'TODO' comment in the original xscale_analyze_trace().
Outside of xcsale_analyze_trace(), these (related) changes were made:
- Remove pc_ok and current_pc elements from struct xscale_trace. These elements
and associated logic are useless clutter because the very first entry placed
in the trace buffer is always an indirect jump to the address at which
execution resumed. This type of trace entry includes the literal address in
the trace buffer, so the initial address of the trace is immediately
determined from the trace buffer contents and does not need to be recorded
when trace is enabled.
- Added num_checkpoints to struct xscale_trace_data, which is necessary in order
to correctly interpret the checkpoint register contents.
- In xscale_read_trace()
- Fix potential array out-of-bounds condition.
- Eliminate partial address entries when parsing trace (can occur in wrap mode).
- Count and record number of checkpoints in trace.
- Added small, inlined utility function xscale_display_instruction() to help
make the code more concise and clear.
TODO:
- Save processor state (arm or thumb) in struct xscale_trace when trace is
enabled so that trace can be analyzed correctly (currently assumes arm mode).
- Add element to struct xscale_trace that records (when trace is enabled)
whether vector table is relocated high (to 0xffff0000) or not, so that a
branch to an exception vector is traced correctly (curently assumes vectors
at 0x0).
+ virt2phys() can now convert virtual address to real
+ read_memory() and write_memory() are renamed to read_phys_memory()

Fixing one bug can easily uncover another .... in this case,
making sure that we properly invalidate some cached NOR state when
resuming arbitrary target code turned up an issue when the code
wasn't quite arbitrary (and we couldn't know that, but some parts
of OpenOCD assumed the cache would not be invalidated.
Specifically: some flash drivers (like CFI) update that state in loops
with downloaded algorithms, thus invalidating the state as it's probed.
+ Add a new target state flag, to record whether the target is
running downloaded algorithm code.
+ Use that flag to add a special case: "trust" downloaded algorithms
not to corrupt that cached state, bypassing cache invalidation.
Also update some of the documentation to stipulate that this flavor of
trustworthiness is now *required* ... not just a fortuitous acident.

For some reason there are *two* schemes for interposing logic into
the run_algorithm() code path... One is a standard procedural wapper
around the target method invocation.
the other (superfluous) one hacked the method table by splicing
a second procedural wrapper into the method table. Remove it:
* Rename its slightly-more-featureful wrapper so it becomes
the standard procedural wrapper, leaving its added logic
(where it should have been in the first place.
Also add a paranoia check, to report targets that don't
support algorithms without traversing a NULL pointer, and
tweak its code structure a bit so it's easier to modify.
* Get rid of the superfluous/conusing method table hacks.
This is a net simplification, making it simpler to analyse what's
going on, and then interpose logic . ... by ensuring there's only one
natural place for it to live.

Problem: halt at a breakpoint, enable trace buffer ('xscale trace_buffer enable
fill'), then resume. Wait for debug exception when trace buffer fills (if not
sooner due to another breakpoint, vector catch, etc). Instead, never halts.
When halted explicitly from OpenOCD and trace buffer dumped, it contains only
one entry; a branch to the address of the original breakpoint. If the above
steps are repeated, except that the breakpoint is removed before resuming, the
trace buffer fills and the debug exception is generated, as expected.
Cause: related to how a breakpoint is stepped over on resume. The breakpoint is
temporarily removed, and a hardware breakpoint is set on the next instruction
that will execute. xscale_debug_entry() is called when that breakpoint hits.
This function checks if the trace buffer is enabled, and if so reads the trace
buffer from the target and then disables the trace (unless multiple trace
buffers are specified by the user when trace is enabled). Thus you only trace
one instruction before it is disabled.
Solution: kind of a hack on top of a hack, but it's simple. Anything better
would involve some refactoring. This has been tested and trace now works as
intended, except that the very first instruction is not part of the trace when
resuming from a breakpoint.
TODO: still many issues with trace: doesn't work during single-stepping (trace
buffer is flushed each step), 'xscale analyze_trace' works only marginally for
a trace captured in 'fill' mode, and not at all for a trace captured in 'wrap'
mode.
