This adds support for the bfloat16 datatype, which can be seen as a short
version of FP32, skipping the least significant 16 bits of the mantissa.
Since the datatype is currently only supported by the AVX512 registers,
the printing of bfloat16 values is only supported for xmm, ymm and zmm
registers.

This commit adds a new maintenance command that dumps the current
target description as an XML document. This is a maintenance command
as I currently only see this being useful for GDB developers, or for
people debugging a new remote target.
By default the command will print whatever the current target
description is, whether this was delivered by the remote, loaded by
the user from a file, or if it is a built in target within GDB.
The command can also take an optional filename argument. In this case
GDB loads a target description from the file, and then reprints it.
This could be useful for testing GDB's parsing of target descriptions,
or to check that GDB can successfully parse a particular XML
description.
It is worth noting that the XML description printed will not be an
exact copy of the document fed into GDB. For example this minimal
input file:
<target>
<feature name="abc">
<reg name="r1" bitsize="32"/>
</feature>
</target>
Will produce this output:
(gdb) maint print xml-tdesc path/to/file.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE target SYSTEM "gdb-target.dtd">
<target>
<feature name="abc">
<reg name="r1" bitsize="32" type="int" regnum="0"/>
</feature>
</target>
Notice that GDB filled in both the 'type' and 'regnum' fields of the
<reg>. I think this is actually a positive as it means we get to
really understand how GDB processed the document, if GDB made some
assumptions that differ to those the user expected then hopefully this
will bring those issues to the users attention.
To implement this I have tweaked the output produced by the
print_xml_feature which is defined within the gdbsupport/ directory.
The changes I have made to this class are:
1. The <architecture>...</architecture> tags are now not produced if
the architecture name is NULL.
2. The <osabi>...</osabi> tags get a newline at the end.
3. And, the whole XML document is indented using white space in a
nested fashion (as in the example output above).
I think that these changes should be fine, the print_xml_feature class
is used:
1. In gdbserver to generate an XML document to send as the target
description to GDB.
2. In GDB as part of a self-check function, a target_desc is
converted to XML then parsed back into a target_desc. We then check
the before and after target_desc objects are the same.
3. In the new 'maint print xml-tdesc' command.
In all of these use cases adding the extra white space should be fine.

* tdesc.cc (print_xml_feature::visit_pre): Use add_line to add
output content, and call indent as needed in all overloaded

The gdbsupport directory contains a helper class print_xml_feature
that is shared between gdb and gdbserver. This class is used for
printing an XML representation of a target_desc object.
Currently this class doesn't have the ability to print the
<compatible> entities that can appear within a target description, I
guess no targets have needed that functionality yet.
The print_xml_feature classes API is based around operating on the
target_desc class, however, the sharing between gdb and gdbserver is
purely textural, we rely on their being a class called target_desc in
both gdb and gdbserver, but there is no shared implementation. We
then have a set of functions declared that operate on an object of
type target_desc, and again these functions have completely separate
implementations.
Currently then the gdb version of target_desc contains a vector of
bfd_arch_info pointers which represents the compatible entries from a
target description. The gdbserver version of target_desc has no such
information. Further, the gdbserver code doesn't seem to include the
bfd headers, and so doesn't know about the bfd types.
I was reluctant to include the bfd headers into gdbserver just so I
can reference the compatible information, which isn't (currently) even
needed in gdbserver.
So, the approach I take in this patch is to wrap the compatible
information into a new helper class. This class is declared in the
gdbsupport library, but implemented separately in both gdb and
gdbserver.
In gdbserver the class is empty. The compatible information within
the gdbserver is an empty list, of empty classes.
In gdb the class contains a pointer to the bfd_arch_info object.
With this in place we can now add support to print_xml_feature for
printing the compatible information if it is present. In the
gdbserver code this will never happen, as the gdbserver never has any
compatible information. But in gdb, this code will trigger when
appropriate.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* target-descriptions.c (class tdesc_compatible_info): New class.
(struct target_desc): Change type of compatible vector.

This patch renames the .c source files in gdbsupport to .cc.
In the gdb directory, there is an argument against renaming the source
files, which is that it makes using some git commands more difficult to
do archeology. Some commands have some kind of "follow" option that
makes git try to follow renames, but it doesn't work in all situations.
Given that we have just moved the gdbsupport directory, that argument
doesn't hold for source files in that directory. I therefore suggest
renaming them to .cc, so that they are automatically recognized as C++
by various tools and editors.
The original motivation behind this is that when building gdbsupport
with clang, I get:
CC agent.o
clang: error: treating 'c' input as 'c++' when in C++ mode, this behavior is deprecated [-Werror,-Wdeprecated]
In the gdb/ directory, we make clang happy by passing "-x c++". We
could do this in gdbsupport too, but I think that renaming the files is
a better long-term solution.
gdbserver still does its own build of gdbsupport, so a few changes in
its Makefile are necessary.
gdbsupport/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.am: Rename source files from .c to .cc.
(CC, CFLAGS): Don't override.
(AM_CFLAGS): Rename to ...
(AM_CXXFLAGS): ... this.
* Makefile.in: Re-generate.
* %.c: Rename to %.cc.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* Makefile.in: Rename gdbsupport source files from .c to .cc.
