The SMP behaviour can be disabled/enabled dynamically. On cortex_a following
command have been implemented.
@itemize @bullet
-@item cortex_a smp_on : enable SMP mode, behaviour is as described above.

+@item cortex_a smp off : disable SMP mode, the current target is the one
displayed in the GDB session, only this target is now controlled by GDB
session. This behaviour is useful during system boot up.

@item cortex_a smp_gdb : display/fix the core id displayed in GDB session see
following example.

-mechanism is used only for event handling.
+mechanism is limited and used mostly for event handling.
(It is not a direct analogue of the @code{cget}/@code{configure}
mechanism for debugger targets.)
See the next section for information about the available events.
The current implementation supports eSi-32xx cores.
@item @code{fa526} -- resembles arm920 (w/o Thumb)
@item @code{feroceon} -- resembles arm926
+@item @code{mem_ap} -- this is an ARM debug infrastructure Access Port without a CPU, through which bus read and write cycles can be generated; it may be useful for working with non-CPU hardware behind an AP or during development of support for new CPUs.
@item @code{mips_m4k} -- a MIPS core
@item @code{xscale} -- this is actually an architecture,
not a CPU type. It is based on the ARMv5 architecture.
@item @code{ls1_sap} -- this is the SAP on NXP LS102x CPUs,
allowing access to physical memory addresses independently of CPU cores.

+@deffn Command {cortex_m maskisr} (@option{auto}|@option{on}|@option{off}|@option{steponly})
Control masking (disabling) interrupts during target step/resume.
The @option{auto} option handles interrupts during stepping in a way that they
are enabled again. If the interrupt handlers don't complete within 500ms,
the step command leaves with the core running.
+The @option{steponly} option disables interrupts during single-stepping but
+enables them during normal execution. This can be used as a partial workaround
+for 702596 erratum in Cortex-M7 r0p1. See "Cortex-M7 (AT610) and Cortex-M7 with
+FPU (AT611) Software Developer Errata Notice" from ARM for further details.
+
Note that a free hardware (FPB) breakpoint is required for the @option{auto}
option. If no breakpoint is available at the time of the step, then the step
is taken with interrupts enabled, i.e. the same way the @option{off} option
However, normally it is not necessary to use the command at all.

-@deffn Command {aarch64 smp_on|smp_off}
-Enable and disable SMP handling. The state of SMP handling influences the way targets in an SMP group
+@deffn Command {aarch64 smp} [on|off]
+Display, enable or disable SMP handling mode. The state of SMP handling influences the way targets in an SMP group
are handled by the run control. With SMP handling enabled, issuing halt or resume to one core will trigger
halting or resuming of all cores in the group. The command @code{target smp} defines which targets are in the SMP
group. With SMP handling disabled, all targets need to be treated individually.
