  This commit adds target description support for riscv.

I've used the split feature approach for specifying the architectural
features, and the CSR feature is auto-generated from the riscv-opc.h
header file.

If the target doesn't provide a suitable target description then GDB
will build one by looking at the bfd headers.

This commit does not implement target description creation for the
Linux or FreeBSD native targets, both of these will need to add
read_description methods into their respective target classes, which
probe the target features, and then call
riscv_create_target_description to build a suitable target
description.  Until this is done Linux and FreeBSD will get the same
default target description based on the bfd that bare-metal targets
get.

I've only added feature descriptions for 32 and 64 bit registers, 128
bit registers (for RISC-V) are not supported in the reset of GDB yet.

This commit removes the special reading of the MISA register in order
to establish the target features, this was only used for figuring out
the f-register size, and even that wasn't done consistently.  We now
rely on the target to tell us what size of registers it has (or look
in the BFD as a last resort).  The result of this is that we should
now support RV64 targets with 32-bit float, though I have not
extensively tested this combination yet.

In general this looks fine to me (as far as I am familiar with the
target descriptions).  The only possible question/comment I have is if
you considered describing fields of specific registers such as the FP
status registers or MSTATUS, etc. as fields in the XML to replace the
current special cases in riscv_print_one_register_info().  I think the
XML can't handle enum values as riscv_print_one_register_info() uses for
some cases, but I think it would be able to handle many of the special
cases in that function.

Some related-ish questions (though not about this patch): I wonder if we
can do things with pseudo registers to automatically derive FFLAGS and
FRM if a target provides FCSR.

One more note: AFAIU, 1.10 of the privilege spec removed hypervisor mode
with the intention of implementing virtualization support differently.
We might want to remove the references to hypervisor mode from riscv-tdep.c
as a result?

The only reference I see is in the PRV decoding, which I think is OK: while the 
spec doesn't mention hypervisor mode any more, the bit pattern is still there 
and an upcoming spec will add it back in.  I believe the official name is now 
"hypervisor-extended supervisor mode" but since that's a bit of a mouthfull I 
still call it hypervisor mode :)

Ah, ok.  There are also HIE, etc. bits in the MSTATUS decoding that would
also be related, but if they are going to be reused then leaving them as-is
is probably fine.

There is a typo here, a space is missing between riscv-linux-tdep.o
and glibc-tdep.o.

Otherwise this looks great.  I tested it on riscv64-linux and saw no
new problems.  I also tested with riscv-tests/debug against openocd,
and almost everything that failed before is now passing.  There are
two tests that fail because riscv-tests/debug doesn't know how to
parse the new {float...double...} string output for FP registers.
There are two tests that fail for a 32-bit target with
    (gdb) p/x fox = "This little piggy went to the market."
    p/x fox = "This little piggy went to the market."^M

And the same tests fail for a 64-bit target with a timeout.  That may
only be one problem.  This should not prevent the XML register set
support from going in now, and we can worry about debugging these
problems later.  Even with the failures this is a major improvement
over what we had before.

Good spot.  I'll fix this.

I have a fix for this issue, but it's not really related to target
register descriptions.  I hope to get this posted soon.

Great.  I just need to review John's feedback and then we can move
this forward.

Thanks again,

Hi,

Please document the target features in the "Standard Target Features"
node in the manual.  I think a NEWS entry might be good too, for stub
implementors.

Thanks,

I took a look at switching over to using flag fields in the xml
description, but in the end I decided against this.

The main reason is that there appears to be a bug with registers
described as a flag type, I was unable to assign to the register.
What I saw was an invalid cast error.

I defined the type like this:

    <flags id="riscv_fflags" size="1">
      <field name="NX" start="0" end="0"/>
      <field name="UF" start="1" end="1"/>
      <field name="OF" start="2" end="2"/>
      <field name="DZ" start="3" end="3"/>
      <field name="NV" start="4" end="4"/>
    </flags>

    <reg name="fflags" bitsize="32" type="riscv_fflags"/>

But then, when I try to assign to the register I see this error:

    (gdb) set $fflags=0x3
    Invalid cast

This same assignment works fine when the register is a straight
integer.

Next, I actually prefer the current 'info register $fflags' output,
with all of the fields displayed all the time, so taking that away
would feel like a step backward, though I could be convinced if
everyone else feels strongly the other way.

In the end I think that there's some issues that need to be resolved
before we could move to using the <flags> type.  I think this is
something we should consider, but I'd like to kick this down the road
for now.

I agree, currently we're not going to be able to completely kill the
info registers override, and as a result I'm not that fussed about
having extra cases in here.

I like this idea a lot, and I definitely plan to implement this, just
because I think it would be a neat feature.  However, my understanding
is that FFLAGS and FRM _are_ real CSRs, at least in the sense that
there's a real CSR offset from which we can read to extract the FFLAGS
or FRM part of FCSR.  So, initially I'd prefer to merge this with
these registers as real registers.

But I think it would be great if for targets that only announce FCSR,
we could automatically emulate FRM and FCSR.

Thank you for your review.  I plan to post a revised patch soon.

Thanks,
Andrew

Weird, on x86 you can assign raw values to $eflags which is also described
as a flags field:

  <flags id="i386_eflags" size="4">
    <field name="CF" start="0" end="0"/>
    <field name="" start="1" end="1"/>
    <field name="PF" start="2" end="2"/>
    ...

(gdb) p $eflags
$1 = [ PF IF ]
(gdb) p/x $eflags
$2 = 0x206
(gdb) set $eflags = $eflags | 1
(gdb) p $eflags
$3 = [ CF PF IF ]

However, if it doesn't work I think it's fine to not use it.  I just wanted
to make sure you weren't duplicating work you wouldn't need.

Ok.  I had assumed that we would have to use pseudo registers to do this,
but perhaps it can be done another way that allows a target to provide them
explicitly if it chose.
