gdb/x86: move have_ptrace_getfpxregs global into gdb/nat directory
The have_ptrace_getfpxregs global tracks whether GDB or gdbserver is running on a kernel that supports the GETFPXREGS ptrace request. Currently this global is declared twice (once in GDB and once in gdbserver), I think it makes sense to move this global into the nat/ directory, and have a single declaration and definition. While moving this variable I have converted it to a tribool, as that was what it really was, if even used the same numbering as the tribool enum (-1, 0, 1). Where have_ptrace_getfpxregs was used I have updated in the obvious way. However, while making this change I noticed what I think is a bug in x86_linux_nat_target::read_description and x86_linux_read_description, both of these functions can be called multiple times, but in both cases we only end up calling i386_linux_read_description the first time through in the event that PTRACE_GETFPXREGS is not supported. This is because initially have_ptrace_getfpxregs will be TRIBOOL_UNKNOWN, but after the ptrace call fails we set have_ptrace_getfpxregs to TRIBOOL_FALSE. The next time we attempt to read the target description we'll skip the ptrace call, and so skip the call to i386_linux_read_description. I've not tried to address this preexisting bug in this commit, this is purely a refactor, there should be no user visible changes after this commit. In later commits I'll merge the gdbserver and GDB code together into the nat/ directory, and after that I'll try to address this bug. Reviewed-By: Felix Willgerodt <felix.willgerodt@intel.com>
