Without this, not all registers were present in the core generated by
gcore. For example, running 'gcore' on a program without examining
the vector registers (SSE or AVX) would store all the vector registers
as zeros because they were not pulled into the regcache. Running
'info vector' before 'gcore' would store the correct values in the
core since it populated the regcache. For Linux processes, a similar
operation is achieved by having the thread iterator callback invoke
target_fetch_registers on each thread before its corresponding
register notes are dumped.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* fbsd-tdep.c (fbsd_make_corefile_notes): Fetch all target registers
before writing core register notes.
This commit makes fbsd-tdep.c not include string.h or gdb_assert.h
as both are already included by defs.h.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* fbsd-tdep.c: Do not include string.h or gdb_assert.h.
This creates a new version of the FreeBSD core file note generation
logic in the new target-dependent file "fbsd-tdep.c". The new version
is mostly copied from "fbsd-nat.c", but uses the iterator instead of
regset_from_core_section and defines fbsd_make_corefile_notes as a
gdbarch method instead of a target method.
Consecutive architecture-dependent changes exploit the new version,
migrating away from the target method. When all FreeBSD targets are
changed, the target method can go away.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* fbsd-tdep.c: New file.
* fbsd-tdep.h: New file.
* Makefile.in (ALL_TARGET_OBS): Add fbsd-tdep.o.
(HFILES_NO_SRCDIR): Add fbsd-tdep.h.
(ALLDEPFILES): Add fbsd-tdep.c.
