* README: Add note about SPARCworks cc release 3.0 and higher.
Add procfs support for Alpha OSF/1-2.x.
* config/alpha/nm-osf.h: Renamed from nm-alpha.h, generic
OSF/1 native support.
* config/alpha/alpha-osf1.mh (NAT_FILE): Changed accordingly.
(MUNCH_DEFINE): Removed.
* config/alpha/alpha-osf2.mh, config/alpha/nm-osf2.h: New files
for procfs support.
* configure.in (alpha-dec-osf*): Use alpha-osf2.mh for OSF/1
release 2.x and higher, else alpha-osf1.mh, as the procfs support
in release 1.x is incomplete.
* Makefile.in (ALLCONFIG): Add config/alpha/alpha-osf2.mh.
* alpha-nat.c (supply_gregset, fill_gregset, supply_fpgregset,
fill_fpgregset): New routines for procfs support.
* inftarg.c (_initialize_inftarg): Don't add ptrace support
if we have an optional procfs and /proc is accessible.
* procfs.c: Include sys/fault.h and sys/syscall.h before
including sys/procfs.h.
(unconditionally_kill_inferior): If PROCFS_NEED_PIOCSSIG_FOR_KILL
is defined, additionally perform a PIOCSSIG to really terminate
the inferior.
(create_procinfo): Always return a result.
(create_procinfo, do_attach): Don't trace T_IFAULT faults if
PROCFS_DONT_TRACE_IFAULT is defined.
(procfs_init_inferior): Use START_INFERIOR_TRAPS_EXPECTED as
argument to startup_inferior if it is defined.
(proc_set_exec_trap): If PIOCSSPCACT is defined, use it instead
of tracing exits from exec system calls. Needed for the user level
loader under Alpha OSF/1.
(do_detach): Clear any pending signal if we want to detach from
a process without a signal.
(set_proc_siginfo): If PROCFS_DONT_PIOCSSIG_CURSIG is defined,
don't issue a PIOCSSIG if pr_cursig already contains the signal we
intend to set.
(info_proc_signals): If PROCFS_SIGPEND_OFFSET is defined, the
pending signals are numbered from 1 instead of 0.
(info_proc_mappings): Increase size of output format for addresses
if BFD_HOST_64_BIT is defined.
(procfs_stop): Renamed from child_stop.
(_initialize_procfs): Don't add procfs support if we have an
optional procfs and /proc is not accessible.
