Patch from Will Schmidt <willschm@us.ibm.com>:jimb-ppc64-linux-20030509-branchcvs/jimb-ppc64-linux-20030509-branch
These changes enable support of PPC64 architecture. * config/powerpc/ppc64linux.mh: New file. * config/powerpc/ppc64linux.mt: New file. * config/powerpc/tm-ppc64linux.h: New file. * ppc64-linux-tdep.c: New file. * configure.host: Add clause for powerpc64-*-linux* * configure.tgt: Add clause for powerpc64-*-linux* * elfread.c (record_minimal_symbol_and_info): If DROP_TEXT_NAME_PREFIX_CHAR is #defined, then drop a leading instance of that char from the names of text symbols. (elf_symtab_read): If SKIP_DATA_IN_OPD is #defined, ignore data symbols in the .opd section. * ppc-linux-nat.c (PTRACE_XFER_TYPE): Change the default for this to 'long'. (PPC_PTRACE_POKEUSR_3264, PPC_PTRACE_PEEKUSR_3264, PPC_PTRACE_POKEDATA_3264, PPC_PTRACE_PEEKDATA_3264): Provide default definitions for these. (ARCH64): New macro. (ppc_wordsize_pid): New function. (kernel_u_size): Handle 64-bit case. (ppc_register_u_addr): Same. (fetch_register): Use the *_3264 requests when debugging a 64-bit process from a 32-bit GDB. (store_register): Same. (GDB_MAX_ALLOCA, child_xfer_memory, udot_info): Copied from infptrace.c. (_initialize_ppc_linux_nat): New function, to register our copy of the udot_info command. * ppc-linux-tdep.c (TDEP): New macro. (ppc64_linux_svr4_fetch_link_map_offsets): New function. (read_memory_addr): Copied from rs6000-tdep.c. (ppc64_linux_convert_from_func_ptr_addr): New function. * rs6000-tdep.c (skip_prologue): Recognize more instructions for saving the 'lr' and 'cr' registers; don't just pre-emptively mask in the 'st' opcode as soon as we see an 'mflr' or 'mfcr' opcode. Recognize more instructions for updating the stack pointer, and loading the TOC pointer. (registers_powerpc64, registers_a35): New register tables. (rs6000_gdbarch_init): Register the 64-bit solib functions. * solib-svr4.c (solib_break_names): If SOLIB_BREAK_NAME is #defined, include an entry for it. (enable_break): Call CONVERT_FROM_FUNC_PTR_ADDR when trying to guess the linker's base address. * config/powerpc/tm-linux.h (ppc64_linux_svr4_fetch_link_map_offsets, ppc64_linux_convert_from_func_ptr_addr): New declarations.

- New Features and Enhancements
- =============================
-
-Display of the target program output. Perhaps use the XTerm hack created
-by Tom.
-
---
-
-Support for inserting breakpoints at arbitrary locations, perhaps adding an
-entry widget to the breakpoints window.
-
---
-
-Support for hardware breakpoints and watchpoints (will need fixes in gdb).
-
---
-
-"Disassembly from Memory" Window. Perhaps as a pane in place of the source
-code one.
-
---
-
-Register Window capable of handling large number of registers, typed
-registers, registers organized in groups that can be shown/hidden and
-that provide for better screen organization.
-
---
-
-Per-project preferences so that one can have a preferred target settings
-for each project (and environment variable and the current directory would
-be searched for the project preference file -- global preferences would
-still come from the users's home directory).
-
---
-
-Reactivate the "Use this target?" confirmation box. Do it independently of
-the above?
-
---
-
-Add option to activate the Source Window from the signal popup box when
-the inferior program is signaled.
-
- Code Cleanups
- =============
-
-Reorganize the Source Memory code.
-
---
-
-Clean up the class hierarchy.
-
---
-
-Migrate to Tcl/Tk 8.3.2
-
---
-
-Try BLT tree as an alternative to the Tix Tree, so we can drop Tix altogether.
-
---
-
-Optional use of installed Tcl/Tk (keeping it available on the distribution)
-
---
-
-Fix the gdbtk testsuite.
-
---
-
-Enhance the test harness, perhaps migrating to the new SourceNavigator testing
-system.
-
- Architectural Improvements
- ==========================
-
-Decouple the GUI from gdb, running them as separate processes.
-
---
-
-Separate the Tcl part from the Tk part to facilitate scripting.
-
- Bug Fixes
- =========
-
-Fix process attach, specially the process listing code.
-
-Fix Source Window so that Key shortcuts work (may not be possible without
-rewritting).
-
-Fix info popup annoyances (like trying to show a large array without even
-adding line breaks and showing up over right click menus).
-
-Fix command window command line recall that misses the arguments of
-commands that autoincrement their arguments.
-
-Fix function browser window problems.
-
-Maximization of a window affects preference sizing but forgets that maximized
-state was set.
-
-Taskbar "always on top" hides funcxtion combobox.
