[PATCH 00/17] GDB support for more powerpc registers on linux

[Pedro Franco de Carvalho <pedromfc at linux dot ibm dot com>]

This patch series implements access to additional powerpc registers on
linux targets.

The new register are:

* The Program Priority Register.

* The Data Stream Control Register, used for cache control.

* The Target Address Register.

* The Hardware Transactional Memory registers, which include both a
  set of three special-purpose registers that control the HTM facility
  and the set of checkpointed registers, a copy of most of the other
  registers used as a snapshot to restore processor state in the event
  of a transaction failure.

* The Event-Based Branch (EBB) facility and Performance Monitoring
  Unit (PMU) registers.

The first four patches refactor some parts of the code affected by the
patches.

Each group of registers is then enabled with one patch for support in
the native and core file targets and one for gdbserver support. Some
also have patches for related record/replay support and tests.

PPR and DSCR did not appear in the architecture at the same
time, but for simplicity they are added in a common tdesc. They will
be separated when I change the powerpc linux targets to use flexible
tdescs in the future.

Adding the HTM checkpointed registers has nearly doubled the number of
registers which causes regressions because some internal buffer sizes
related to tracepoints are longer be sufficient. These are being
addressed in separate patches:

That is V1 of the series that only addresses one of the regressions, I
will send a V2 that also addresses another related regression when
saving a trace file wiht -ctf.

This series also depends on binutils patch recently submitted that
enables writing and reading the core file note sections for these
register sets:

Much of the original work to implement access to these registers was
done by Edjunior when he was at IBM, so I have kept him as the author
in the patches he had worked on. I have made modifications to these
patches, so I have also added myself to the changelog entries for
these patches, in addition to Edjunior. Errors in these patches might
be my own.
