=== Context ===
This patch is part of a patch series to add support for ARMv8-R
architecture. Its purpose is to set the feature bits on which to decide
what the build attributes should be according to the mode
(autodetection, user specified architecture or CPU, or
-march/-mcpu=all).
=== Motivation ===
Currently, the flags variable which is used to determine the build
attribute is constructed from the instruction used (arm_arch_used and
thumb_arch_used) as well as the user specified architecture or CPU
(selected_cpu). This means when several .arch are specified the
resulting feature bits can be such that no architecture provide them
all and can thus result in incorrect Tag_CPU_arch. See for instance
what having both .arch armv8-a and .arch armv8-m.base would result in.
This is not caught by the testsuite because of further bugs in the
Tag_CPU_arch build attribute value selection logic (see next patch in
the series).
=== Patch description ===
As one would expect, this patch solves the problem by setting flags
from feature bits used if in autodetection mode [1] and from
selected_cpu otherwise. The logic to set arm_ext_v1, arm_ext_v4t and
arm_ext_os feature bits is also moved to only run in autodetection mode
since otherwise the architecture or CPU would have a consistent set of
feature bits already.
[1] No architecture or CPU was specified by the user

=== Context ===
This patch is part of a patch series to add support for ARMv8-R
architecture. Its purpose is to simplify the logic to decide whether to
set Tag_DSP_extension.
=== Motivation ===
To decide whether to set Tag_DSP_extension, the current code was
checking whether the flags had DSP instruction but the architecture
selected for Tag_CPU_arch did not have any. This was necessary because
extension feature bit were not available separately. This is no longer
necessary and can be simplified.
=== Patch description ===
The patch change the logic to set Tag_DSP_extension to check whether any
DSP feature bit is set in the extension feature bit, as per the
definition of that build attribute. The patch also removes all
definitions of arm_arch which is now unneeded.

=== Context ===
This patch is part of a patch series to add support for ARMv8-R
architecture. Its purpose is to keep the distinction between
architecture feature bits and extension ones after parsing has occured.
=== Motivation ===
This distinction is necessary to allow the Tag_CPU_arch build attribute
value to be exactly as per the architecture of the selected CPU. With
mixed architecture and extension feature bit, it is impossible to find
an architecture with an exact match of feature bit and the build
attribute value logic must then select the closest match which might not
be the right architecture. The previous patch in the patch series makes
the distinction possible when parsing -mcpu and .cpu directives but the
distinction gets lost after. Similarly feature bits contributed by
extensions in -march or .arch_extensions directive are mixed together
with architecture extensions.
=== Patch description ===
The patch adds new feature bit pointer for extension feature bits.
Information from the parsing regarding extensions can then be kept
separate in those. This requires adapting arm_parse_extension to deal
with two feature bits, allowing the architecture bits to be marked as
const. It also requires extra care when setting cpu_variant and
selected_cpu because the extension bits are optional since there might
not be any extension in use.
Note that contrary to cpu feature bits, the extension feature bits are
made read/write and are always dynamically allocated. This allows to
unconditionally free them in arm_md_post_relax added for this occasion,
thereby fixing a longstanding memory leak when arm_parse_extension was
invoked (XNEW of ext_fset without corresponding XDELETE).
Introduction of arm_md_post_relax is necessary to only free the
extension feature bits after aeabi_set_attribute_string has been called
for the last time.

=== Context ===
This patch is part of a patch series to add support for ARMv8-R
architecture. Its purpose is to distinguish for a CPU the feature bits
coming from its architecture from the feature bits coming from
extension(s) available in this CPU.
=== Motivation ===
This distinction is necessary to allow the Tag_CPU_arch build attribute
value to be exactly as per the architecture of the selected CPU. With
mixed architecture and extension feature bit, it is impossible to find
an architecture with an exact match of feature bit and the build
attribute value logic must then select the closest match which might not
be the right architecture.
=== Patch description ===
The patch creates a new field in the arm_cpus table to hold the feature
set for the extensions available in each CPU. The existing architecture
feature set is then updated to remove those feature bit. The patch also
takes advantage of all the lines being changed to reindent the whole
table.
Note: This patch *adds* a memory leak due to mcpu_cpu_opt sometimes
pointing to dynamically allocated feature bits which is never freeed.
The subsequent patch in the series solves this issue as well as a
preexisting identical issue in arm_parse_extension. The patches are kept
separate for ease of review since they are both big enough already.

The commit
d309493 target: consider addressable unit size when reading/writing memory
introduced the possibility of reading memory of targets with
non-8-bit-bytes (e.g. memories that store 16 bits at each address).

accordingly, but to_xfer_partial, which is very related, wasn't updated.
This commit fixes that.

Even though C++11 supports modifying containers using a const_iterator
(e.g., calling the 'erase' method of a std::vector), early versions of
libstdc++ did not implement that. Some of our buildslaves are using
these versions (e.g., the AArch64 buildslave uses gcc 4.8.8), and my
previous commit causes a breakage on them. The solution is simple:
just use a normal iterator, without const.

* common/environ.c (gdb_environ::unset): Use '::iterator' instead

As part of the preparation necessary for my upcoming task, I'd like to
propose that we turn gdb_environ into a class. The approach taken
here is simple: the class gdb_environ contains everything that is
needed to manipulate the environment variables. These variables are
stored in an std::vector<char *>, which can be converted to a 'char
**' and passed as argument to functions that need it.
The usage has not changed much. As per Pedro's suggestion, this class
uses a static factory method initialization. This means that when an
instance is created, it is initially empty. When needed, it has to be
initialized using the static method 'from_host_environ'.
As mentioned before, this is a preparation for an upcoming work that I
will be posting in the next few weeks or so. For that work, I'll
probably create another data structure that will contain all the
environment variables that were set by the user using the 'set
environment' command, because I'll need access to them. This will be
much easier with the class-ification of gdb_environ.
As noted, this has been regression-tested with the new version of
environ.exp and no regressions were found.

I considered making 'gdb::unlinker::unlinker(const char *)'

which can throw a QUIT if/when the assertion fails. 'noexcept(true)'
would cause GDB to abruptly terminate if/when the assertion fails.

On noMMU platforms, the following code gets compiled:
child_stack = xmalloc (STACK_SIZE * 4);
Where child_stack is a gdb_byte*, and xmalloc() returns a void*. While
the lack of cast is valid in C, it is not in C++, causing the
following build failure:
../nat/linux-ptrace.c: In function 'int linux_fork_to_function(gdb_byte*, int (*)(void*))':
../nat/linux-ptrace.c:273:29: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'gdb_byte* {aka unsigned char*}' [-fpermissive]

Therefore, this commit adds the appropriate cast.

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

In warning.m4, we pass all the warning flags one by one to the compiler
to test if they are supported by this particular compiler. If the
compiler exits with an error, we conclude that this warning flag is not
supported and exclude it. This allows us to use warning flags without
having to worry about which versions of which compilers support each
flag.
clang, by default, only emits a warning if an unknown flag is passed:
warning: unknown warning option '-Wfoo' [-Wunknown-warning-option]
The result is that we think that all the warning flags we use are
supported by clang (they are not), and the compilation fails later when
building with -Werror, since the aforementioned warning becomes an
error. The fix is to also pass -Werror when probing for supported
flags, then we'll correctly get an error when using an unknown warning,
and we'll exclude it:
error: unknown warning option '-Wfoo' [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]

gdbserver/configure, but I suppose it's a leftfover from a previous
