Hi,
Nowadays, 'target_dcache' is a global variable in GDB, which is not
necessary. It can be a per-address-space variable. In this patch, we
associate target_dcache to address_space.
gdb/doc:
2013-11-02 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Caching Target Data): Update doc for
per-address-space dcache.
gdb:
2013-11-02 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* progspace.h (struct address_space_data): Declare.
* target-dcache.c: Include "progspace.h".
(target_dache): Remove.
(target_dcache_aspace_key): New.
(target_dcache_cleanup): New function.
(target_dcache_init_p): Get data through
target_dcache_aspace_key.
(target_dcache_invalidate): Likewise.
(target_dcache_get): Likewise.
(target_dcache_get_or_init): Likewise.
(_initialize_target_dcache): Initialize
target_dcache_aspace_key.
