[RFC v5 0/9] Add support for Linux kernel debugging


Hi everybody,

after a long time here is a sign of life from kernel awareness.

Originally i planed to bring the patches upstream one by one.  However i'm
currently stuck on an other project.  But I should find time soon to
continue here.

The main change between v4 and v5 is the C++ification of lk_low, which
required big parts of the file to be rewritten.  Along with that smaller
improvements and bug fixes where made.

Changes v4 -> v5:
	* Rebase to current master.

	* C++-ify lk-low, i.e. replace:
		- struct lk_private -> class linux_kernel_ops,
		- hooks -> virtual member functions in linux_kernel_ops,
		- macros -> member function of linux_kernel_ops,
		- htab_t -> std::unordered_map for cached symbols,
		- gdbarch_lk_init_private -> gdbarch_get_new_lk_ops,
		- lk_list & lk_bitmap -> iterator class,
		- const char * -> const std::string & (where possible),
		- whatever I forgot, lk-low was basically rewritten.

	* Add class s390_linux_kernel_ops inherited from linux_kernel_ops.

	* Add GDB_OSABI_LINUX_KERNEL (patch #4).  Architectures must use a
	sniffer to distinguish between user- and kernel-space as in ELF both
	have type Linux.

	* Introduce ENUM_FLAG lk_kconfig to track config options used in
	kernel and turn off features not supported by the kernel (e.g.
	module support).

	* Fix handling of fields defined in anonymous structs.

	* Fix call to target beneath->to_fetch_registers. Adjust that
	to_fetch_registers uses regcache->ptid() instead of inferior_ptid
	nowadays (bcc0c096d5b et al.).  Requires new patch #3.

	* Fix typo in size of (s390) topdpreg.

	* Fix bug in S390_LK_ROUNDUP and rename to LK_ALIGN.

	* Move s390 split up to separate patch set (already pushed) and
	adjust s390 code accordingly.

Thanks
Philipp
