I was motivated to sort this out while working on my register API which is target agnostic but ran into the weeds when trying to link up with the gdbstub. This was due to us building gdbstub for every single target we support due to a few ABI sensitive bits that require CPU specific information. This series does a bunch of surgery to break the monolithic file apart into its constituent parts as well as simplify the headers to users can avoid bringing in more dependencies than they need.
I had hoped to go all the way and conditionally compile syscalls only for the two ABIs (32 and 64 bit) unfortunately I was unable to the appropriate meson-foo to make that happen. Other than a minor re-org of the patches and addressing review comments (see bellow ---) the only new patches are the ones to split target_ulong into its own header and remove the remaining cpu-def requirements from syscall handling. The following patches need review: gdbstub: split out softmmu/user specifics for syscall handling include: split target_long definition from cpu-defs testing: probe gdb for supported architectures ahead of time gdbstub: only compile gdbstub twice for whole build gdbstub: rationalise signal mapping in softmmu Alex Bennée (23): gdbstub/internals.h: clean up include guard gdbstub: fix-up copyright and license files gdbstub: define separate user/system structures gdbstub: move GDBState to shared internals header includes: move tb_flush into its own header gdbstub: move fromhex/tohex routines to internals gdbstub: make various helpers visible to the rest of the module gdbstub: move chunk of softmmu functionality to own file gdbstub: move chunks of user code into own files gdbstub: rationalise signal mapping in softmmu gdbstub: abstract target specific details from gdb_put_packet_binary gdbstub: specialise handle_query_attached gdbstub: specialise target_memory_rw_debug gdbstub: introduce gdb_get_max_cpus gdbstub: specialise stub_can_reverse gdbstub: fix address type of gdb_set_cpu_pc gdbstub: don't use target_ulong while handling registers gdbstub: move register helpers into standalone include gdbstub: move syscall handling to new file gdbstub: only compile gdbstub twice for whole build testing: probe gdb for supported architectures ahead of time include: split target_long definition from cpu-defs gdbstub: split out softmmu/user specifics for syscall handling Philippe Mathieu-Daudé (1): gdbstub: Make syscall_complete/[gs]et_reg target-agnostic typedefs MAINTAINERS | 1 + configure | 8 + gdbstub/internals.h | 214 ++- include/exec/cpu-defs.h | 19 +- include/exec/exec-all.h | 1 - include/exec/gdbstub.h | 208 --- include/exec/target_long.h | 42 + include/exec/tb-flush.h | 26 + include/gdbstub/helpers.h | 103 + include/gdbstub/syscalls.h | 124 ++ include/gdbstub/user.h | 43 + linux-user/user-internals.h | 1 + accel/stubs/tcg-stub.c | 1 + accel/tcg/tb-maint.c | 1 + accel/tcg/translate-all.c | 1 + cpu.c | 1 + gdbstub/gdbstub.c | 1654 ++--------------- gdbstub/softmmu.c | 605 +++++- gdbstub/syscalls.c | 217 +++ gdbstub/user-target.c | 281 +++ gdbstub/user.c | 427 ++++- hw/ppc/spapr_hcall.c | 1 + linux-user/exit.c | 2 +- linux-user/main.c | 1 + linux-user/signal.c | 2 +- plugins/core.c | 1 + plugins/loader.c | 2 +- semihosting/arm-compat-semi.c | 1 + semihosting/guestfd.c | 2 +- semihosting/syscalls.c | 3 +- softmmu/runstate.c | 2 +- target/alpha/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/alpha/sys_helper.c | 1 + target/arm/gdbstub.c | 1 + target/arm/gdbstub64.c | 2 +- target/arm/helper-a64.c | 2 +- target/arm/m_helper.c | 1 + target/avr/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/cris/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/hexagon/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/hppa/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/i386/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/i386/whpx/whpx-all.c | 2 +- target/loongarch/gdbstub.c | 1 + target/m68k/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/m68k/helper.c | 1 + target/m68k/m68k-semi.c | 3 +- target/microblaze/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/mips/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/mips/tcg/sysemu/mips-semi.c | 3 +- target/nios2/cpu.c | 2 +- target/nios2/nios2-semi.c | 3 +- target/openrisc/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/openrisc/interrupt.c | 2 +- target/openrisc/mmu.c | 2 +- target/ppc/cpu_init.c | 2 +- target/ppc/gdbstub.c | 1 + target/riscv/csr.c | 1 + target/riscv/gdbstub.c | 1 + target/rx/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/s390x/gdbstub.c | 1 + target/s390x/helper.c | 2 +- target/sh4/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/sparc/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/tricore/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/xtensa/core-dc232b.c | 2 +- target/xtensa/core-dc233c.c | 2 +- target/xtensa/core-de212.c | 2 +- target/xtensa/core-de233_fpu.c | 2 +- target/xtensa/core-dsp3400.c | 2 +- target/xtensa/core-fsf.c | 2 +- target/xtensa/core-lx106.c | 2 +- target/xtensa/core-sample_controller.c | 2 +- target/xtensa/core-test_kc705_be.c | 2 +- target/xtensa/core-test_mmuhifi_c3.c | 2 +- target/xtensa/gdbstub.c | 2 +- target/xtensa/helper.c | 2 +- gdbstub/meson.build | 33 +- gdbstub/trace-events | 4 +- scripts/probe-gdb-support.sh | 36 + target/xtensa/import_core.sh | 2 +- tests/tcg/aarch64/Makefile.target | 2 +- tests/tcg/multiarch/Makefile.target | 5 + .../multiarch/system/Makefile.softmmu-target | 6 +- tests/tcg/s390x/Makefile.target | 2 +- 85 files changed, 2375 insertions(+), 1796 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/exec/target_long.h create mode 100644 include/exec/tb-flush.h create mode 100644 include/gdbstub/helpers.h create mode 100644 include/gdbstub/syscalls.h create mode 100644 include/gdbstub/user.h create mode 100644 gdbstub/syscalls.c create mode 100644 gdbstub/user-target.c create mode 100755 scripts/probe-gdb-support.sh -- 2.39.1
