m68k Semihosting Protocol
-------------------------
The instruction used to trigger a semihosting request depends on the
m68k processor variant. On ColdFire, "halt" is used; on other processors
(which don't implement "halt"), "bkpt #0" may be used.
Additionally, a special code sequence is used to distinguish
semihosting requests from other uses of the instruction used to
trigger it. The semihosting instruction is immediately preceded by a
"nop" aligned to a 4-byte boundary, and followed by an invalid sentinel
instruction 0x4e7bf000 ("movec %sp,0"). The debug agent handling the
semihosting request must adjust the program counter to skip over the
sentinel instruction before continuing execution.
Registers d0 and d1 are used to pass parameters to the semihosting call.
d0 contains a request code. d1 is typically a pointer to a 4-longword
parameter block, except for the exit and simulator initialization operations
where it is an immediate integer value.
The result of the operation is returned in the first word of the
parameter block. The second word is used to return an errno value,
encoded per the "Errno Values" section of the RSP documentation in the
GDB User Manual.
The supported d0 request codes are:
#define HOSTED_EXIT 0
Terminate program execution; send a 'W' stop reply to GDB.
d1 contains the exit code, as an immediate integer rather than indirectly
in a parameter block. This semihosting request isn't expected to return.
#define HOSTED_INIT_SIM 1
Do simulator initialization, such as allocation of memory for the
stack and heap. This semihosting request may be triggered from
startup code (crt0.S).
On entry to the semihosting request, d1 contains the default initial
stack pointer as an immediate value, typically the high end of
memory defined by the linker script. If the simulator needs to
dynamically allocate memory for the stack, it should set both d1 and
sp (a7) to the new stack pointer value.
