gdbserver: Fix qSupported:xmlRegisters=i386;UnknownFeature+ handling
The target_process_qsupported method is called for each qSupported feature that the common code does not recognize. The only current implementation, for x86 Linux (x86_linux_process_qsupported), assumes that it either is called with the "xmlRegisters=i386" feature, or that it is isn't called at all, indicating the connected GDB predates x86 XML descriptions. That's a bad assumption however. If GDB sends in a new/unknown (to core gdbserver) feature after "xmlRegisters=i386", say, something like qSupported:xmlRegisters=i386;UnknownFeature+, then when target_process_qsupported is called for "UnknownFeature+", x86_linux_process_qsupported clears the 'use_xml' global and calls x86_linux_update_xmltarget, and gdbserver ends up _not_ reporting a XML description... This commit changes the target_process_qsupported API to instead pass down a vector of unprocessed qSupported features in one go. (There's an early call to target_process_qsupported(NULL) that indicates "starting qSupported processing". There's no matching call to mark the end of processing, though. I first fixed this by passing (char *)-1 to indicate that, and adjusted the x86 backend to only clear 'use_xml' when qSupported processing starts, and then only call x86_linux_update_xmltarget() when (char *)-1 was passed. However, I wasn't that happy with the hack and came up this alternative version.) gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: 2015-11-19 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * linux-low.c (linux_process_qsupported): Change prototype. Adjust. * linux-low.h (struct linux_target_ops) <process_qsupported>: Change prototype. * linux-x86-low.c (x86_linux_process_qsupported): Change prototype and adjust to loop over all features. * server.c (handle_query) <qSupported>: Adjust to call target_process_qsupported once, passing it a vector of unprocessed features. * target.h (struct target_ops) <process_qsupported>: Change prototype. (target_process_qsupported): Adjust.
