<h4 class="subsection">G.4.5 <acronym>MIPS</acronym> Features</h4>
<a name="index-target-descriptions_002c-MIPS-features"></a>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.mips.cpu</samp>&rsquo; feature is required for <acronym>MIPS</acronym> targets.
It should contain registers &lsquo;<samp>r0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>r31</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>lo</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>hi</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>pc</samp>&rsquo;. They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending
on the target.
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.mips.cp0</samp>&rsquo; feature is also required. It should
contain at least the &lsquo;<samp>status</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>badvaddr</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>cause</samp>&rsquo;
registers. They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target.
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.mips.fpu</samp>&rsquo; feature is currently required, though
it may be optional in a future version of <small>GDB</small>. It should
contain registers &lsquo;<samp>f0</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>f31</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>fcsr</samp>&rsquo;, and
&lsquo;<samp>fir</samp>&rsquo;. They may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target.
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.mips.dsp</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain registers &lsquo;<samp>hi1</samp>&rsquo; through &lsquo;<samp>hi3</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>lo1</samp>&rsquo; through
&lsquo;<samp>lo3</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>dspctl</samp>&rsquo;. The &lsquo;<samp>dspctl</samp>&rsquo; register should
be 32-bit and the rest may be 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the target.
</p>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>org.gnu.gdb.mips.linux</samp>&rsquo; feature is optional. It should
contain a single register, &lsquo;<samp>restart</samp>&rsquo;, which is used by the
Linux kernel to control restartable syscalls.
