[PATCH 0/3 v2] [AArch64] Support tagged pointer


ARMv8 supports tagged address, that is, the top one byte in address
is ignored.  It is always enabled on aarch64-linux.  See
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/arm64/tagged-pointers.txt

Some parts of GDB related to address are updated in this patch series,

 - Memory access, like command 'x',
 - Setting hw breakpoint on some address,
 - Setting watchpoint on some address,

Each of them is fixed in a different way.

This is the v2, and v1 can be found,
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-10/msg00593.html
A Linux kernel doc link is added in commit log, and a test case is
added.
