Hi Experts,
What is the practical use of self hosted debug provision in the ARM V8 architecture ?
What are all the exceptions arrived and how it is handled ?

The expectation is that there's a software monitor running on the ARM core to handle the exceptions and communicate with your debugger. Typically self-hosted debug support is provided by an OS. e.g. GDBserver under Linux.
Hi Mark,
In case of Linux, how this is achieved in ARM v7 then and what is the change adopted in ARM v8 to facilitate in a better way ?
