  Hello,

UST support in gdbserver is substantially outdated.  Simon suggested
removing the support in a comment at

  https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/f5fd16bf-1a2c-44d2-b777-73757fd8e6cd@efficios.com/

This series removes the UST usage and static tracepoints from
gdbserver.  We leave the GDB side and RSP specification unchanged,
except minor documentation fixes.

The first revision of this series was an RFC:

  https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20250108-upstream-gdbserver-remove-ust-v1-0-fd6d6658294f@intel.com

The current revision (v2) has the following changes:

  - Remove the `static_tracepoint` and all the associated code.
  - Remove the handling of packets qTfSTM, qTsSTM and qTSTMat in
    tracepoint.cc.
  - Remove the handle_qxfer_statictrace function in server.cc.

Best regards,
Baris
