Andrew Burgess 646d754d14 gdb/gdbserver: share x86/linux tdesc caching
This commit builds on the previous series of commits to share the
target description caching code between GDB and gdbserver for
x86/Linux targets.

The objective of this commit is to move the four functions (2 each of)
i386_linux_read_description and amd64_linux_read_description into the
gdb/arch/ directory and combine them so we have just a single copy of
each.  Then GDB, gdbserver, and the in-process-agent (IPA) will link
against these shared functions.

One curiosity with this patch is the function
x86_linux_post_init_tdesc.  On the gdbserver side the two functions
amd64_linux_read_description and i386_linux_read_description have some
functionality that is not present on the GDB side, there is some
additional configuration that is performed as each target description
is created, to setup the expedited registers.

To support this I've added the function x86_linux_post_init_tdesc.
This function is called from the two *_linux_read_description
functions, but is implemented separately for GDB and gdbserver.

An alternative approach that avoids adding x86_linux_post_init_tdesc
would be to have x86_linux_tdesc_for_tid return a non-const target
description, then in x86_target::low_arch_setup we could inspect the
target description to figure out if it is 64-bit or not, and modify
the target description as needed.  In the end I think that adding the
x86_linux_post_init_tdesc function is the simpler solution.

The contents of gdbserver/linux-x86-low.cc have moved to
gdb/arch/x86-linux-tdesc-features.c, and gdbserver/linux-x86-tdesc.h
has moved to gdb/arch/x86-linux-tdesc-features.h, this change leads to
some updates in the #includes in the gdbserver/ directory.

This commit also changes how target descriptions are cached.
Previously both GDB and gdbserver used static C-style arrays to act as
the tdesc cache.  This was fine, except for two problems.  Either the
C-style arrays would need to be placed in x86-linux-tdesc-features.c,
which would allow us to use the x86_linux_*_tdesc_count_1() functions
to size the arrays for us, or we'd need to hard code the array sizes
using separate #defines, which we'd then have to keep in sync with the
rest of the code in x86-linux-tdesc-features.c.

Given both of these problems I decided a better solution would be to
just switch to using a std::unordered_map to act as the cache.  This
will resize automatically, and we can use the xcr0 value as the key.

At first inspection, using xcr0 might seem to be a problem; after all
the {i386,amd64}_create_target_description functions take more than
just the xcr0 value.  However, this patch is only for x86/Linux
targets, and for x86/Linux all of the other flags passed to the tdesc
creation functions have constant values and so are irrelevant when we
consider tdesc caching.

For testing I've done the following:

  - Built on x86-64 GNU/Linux for all targets, and just for the native
    target,

  - Build on i386 GNU/Linux for all targets, and just for the native
    target,

  - Build on a 64-bit, non-x86 GNU/Linux for all targets, just for the
    native target, and for targets x86_64-*-linux and i386-*-linux.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
