arc: New Synopsys ARC port
ARC is a family of licensable processors developed by Synopsys. This is an initial patch that doesn't yet support some of the features, that are already available in Synopsys' fork of GDB, namely: * longjmp support * signal frame handling * prologue analysis * Linux targets support * native Linux support ARC cores are configurable and extensible, which means from debugger perspective that some registers and debug capabilities are optional, therefore it is up to the GDB stub to determine exact list of register available on target and supply it to GDB via XML target descriptions. List of registers that is known to GDB and is required is intentionally kept small to simplify requirements to GDB stub and implementation of a GDB client. gdb/ChangeLog: * Makefile.in (ALL_TARGET_OBS): Add arc-tdep.o. (HFILES_NO_SRCDIR): Add arc-tdep.h. (ALLDEPFILES): Add arc-tdep.c. * NEWS: Mention new ARC port. * configure.tgt: Add ARC. * arc-tdep.c: New file. * arc-tdep.h: New file. * features/Makefile (XMLTOC): Add arc-v2.xml and arc-arcompact.xml. * features/arc-v2.xml: New file. * features/arc-v2.c: New file (generated). * features/arc-arcompact.xml: New file. * features/arc-arcompact.c: New file (generated). gdb/doc/ChangeLog: * gdb.texinfo (Embedded Processors): Document ARC. (Synopsys ARC): New section. (Standard Target Features): Document ARC features. (ARC Features): New section. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.xml/tdesc-regs.exp: set core-regs for arc*-*-elf32.

+
+ARC processors are highly configurable, so even core registers and their number
+are not completely predetermined. In addition flags and PC registers which are
+important to @value{GDBN} are not ``core'' registers in ARC. It is required
+that one of the core registers features is present.
+@samp{org.gnu.gdb.arc.aux-minimal} feature is mandatory.
+
+The @samp{org.gnu.gdb.arc.core.v2} feature is required for ARC EM and ARC HS
+targets with a normal register file. It should contain registers @samp{r0}
+through @samp{r25}, @samp{gp}, @samp{fp}, @samp{sp}, @samp{r30}, @samp{blink},
+@samp{lp_count} and @samp{pcl}. This feature may contain register @samp{ilink}
+and any of extension core registers @samp{r32} through @samp{r59/acch}.
+@samp{ilink} and extension core registers are not available to read/write, when
+debugging GNU/Linux applications, thus @samp{ilink} is made optional.
+
+The @samp{org.gnu.gdb.arc.core-reduced.v2} feature is required for ARC EM and
+ARC HS targets with a reduced register file. It should contain registers
+@samp{r0} through @samp{r3}, @samp{r10} through @samp{r15}, @samp{gp},
+@samp{fp}, @samp{sp}, @samp{r30}, @samp{blink}, @samp{lp_count} and @samp{pcl}.
+This feature may contain register @samp{ilink} and any of extension core
+registers @samp{r32} through @samp{r59/acch}.
+
+The @samp{org.gnu.gdb.arc.core.arcompact} feature is required for ARCompact
+targets with a normal register file. It should contain registers @samp{r0}
+through @samp{r25}, @samp{gp}, @samp{fp}, @samp{sp}, @samp{r30}, @samp{blink},
+@samp{lp_count} and @samp{pcl}. This feature may contain registers
+@samp{ilink1}, @samp{ilink2} and any of extension core registers @samp{r32}
+through @samp{r59/acch}. @samp{ilink1} and @samp{ilink2} and extension core
+registers are not available when debugging GNU/Linux applications. The only
+difference with @samp{org.gnu.gdb.arc.core.v2} feature is in the names of
+@samp{ilink1} and @samp{ilink2} registers and that @samp{r30} is mandatory in
+ARC v2, but @samp{ilink2} is optional on ARCompact.
+
+The @samp{org.gnu.gdb.arc.aux-minimal} feature is required for all ARC
+targets. It should contain registers @samp{pc} and @samp{status32}.
