RE: [Patch, microblaze]: Add slr and shr regs and little-endian breakpoint


Thanks  Joel for the review comments. Will make sure to consider your suggestions
 when Submitting the new patches.
Based on the feedback, the updated patch is given below.

Okay for the upstream?

    [Patch, microblaze]: Add slr and shr regs
    
    This patch add the support of slr and shr regs and also solves the problem
    related to process_g_packet where the buf_len > 2 * rsa->sizeof_g_packet
    and throwing the Error that 'g' packet message reply is too long. This is
    because the buf_len calculated in the init_remote_state function for
    microblaze target is based On the sizeof_g_packet and remote_packet_size
    and the memory_packet_config->size. The sizeof_g_packet is 236 because the
    number of reg num is 59 and 2* sizeof_g_packet comes to 472 .With shr and
    shl entry and the buf_len is 472. This does not match the greater than
    conditional statement  and works fine. Without shr and shl entry,the
    sizeof_g_packets comes to 57*4 *2 = 456.  This doesn't match the criteria
    in the process_g_packet function  leading to throwing of error message as
    " 'g' packet message reply is too long".
    
    ChangeLog:
    2014-05-20 Ajit Agarwal <ajitkum@xilinx.com>
    
        * gdb/gdbserver/Makefile.in (microblaze-linux.c): New rule.
    
        * gdb/microblaze-tdep.c (microblaze_register_names): Added
        the rshr and rslr register names.
    
        * gdb/microblaze-tdep.h (microblaze_reg_num): Addition of
        field MICROBLAZE_SLR_REGNUM and MICROBLAZE_SHR_REGNUM.
        (microblaze_frame_cache): Change in the index of
        register_offsets.
    
        * gdb/regformats/reg-microblaze.dat: New Register data file.

Thanks, Ajit. FWIW, I agree with Michael.

Also, when submitting the new patches, please include the description of the problem you are trying to solve in the revision log of your patch. Something like the description you gave above, for instance.
This makes archeology a lot easier for us.  The good news when doing that is that submitting the patch could be as simple as "git send-email"-ing the patch; that's what I personally do for my own patches, and it's been a real time saver.
