Here is an updated patch.
== PATCH 0 ==

This patch adds a news entry about improved process record-replay on
arm*-linux* targets.
It also adds linux-record.o to gdb_target_obs in configure.tgt and
enables gdb.reverse testsuite for arm*-linux* targets.

gdb:

2013-11-08  Omair Javaid  <omair.javaid@linaro.org>

	* NEWS: Add note on improved process record-replay on arm*-linux*
	targets.
	* configure.tgt: Add linux-record.o to gdb_target_obs.

gdb/testsuite:

2013-10-24  Omair Javaid  <omair.javaid@linaro.org>

	* lib/gdb.exp: Enable gdb.reverse testsuite for arm*-linux* targets.

This part is OK, but please make sure to have 2 spaces between
sentences

Thanks.

Hi,

the previous support for arm instruction and thumb instruction for record
and reply was added by me.
but there some reverse test case failing...and I had issues with employer
disclaimer, so could not proceed.
I got it now and is upto date with FSF.

some of the queries to you regarding thumb2 support ?

sorry, the mail sent halfway.
here I go again.

Hi,

and reply was added by me.
but there some reverse test case failing...and I had issues with employer
disclaimer, so could not proceed.
I got it now and is upto date with FSF.

some of the queries to you regarding thumb2 support ?

1) did you bring in co processor support for thumb2 instruction ?

2) can you please run gdb-rever test suite and see if your code passes the
same ?


Regards,
Oza.

I had issues with employer disclaimer, so could not proceed.
I have got the disclaimer now and is up-to date with FSF.

some of the queries to you regarding thumb2 support ?

1) did you bring in co processor and dsp instruction support for thumb2 ?

2) can you please run gdb-rever test suite and see if your code passes
the same ?

Oza.

Hello Oza,

I really appreciate your work on arm process record and I am trying to 
improve on the work you have done previously. I have sent 3 patches 
upstream which include basic support for Thumb32 instructions and 
system call instructions along with some fixes.

There were around 1500 failures in gdb.reverse on arm that have been 
significantly reduced. Here is a current status of gdb.reverse test 
suite on arm targets:

arm-native configuration:
# of expected passes		2253
# of unexpected failures	71

arm-remote configuration:
# of expected passes		2142
# of unexpected failures	122

I am currently working on patches to fix above unexpected failures and 
also working on supporting co-processor and other unsupported 
instruction types.
