Maciej W. Rozycki 1d7611244c PR gdb/22286: linux-nat-trad: Support arbitrary register widths
Update `fetch_register' and `store_register' code to support arbitrary
register widths rather than only ones that are a multiply of the size of
the `ptrace' data type used with PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR
requests to access registers.  Remove associated assertions, correcting
an issue with accessing the DSPControl (`$dspctl') register on n64 MIPS
native targets:

(gdb) print /x $dspctl
.../gdb/linux-nat-trad.c:50: internal-error: void linux_nat_trad_target::fetch_register(regcache*, int): Assertion `(size % sizeof (PTRACE_TYPE_RET)) == 0' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.

NB due to the lack of access to 64-bit DSP hardware all DSP register
values in the dumps are artificial and have been created with a debug
change applied to the kernel handler of the `ptrace' syscall.

The use of `store_unsigned_integer' and `extract_unsigned_integer'
unconditionally in all cases rather than when actual data occupies a
part of the data quantity exchanged with `ptrace' makes code perhaps
marginally slower, however I think avoiding it is not worth code
obfuscation it would cause.  If this turns out unfounded, then there
should be no problem with optimizing this code later.

	gdb/
	PR gdb/22286
	* linux-nat-trad.c (linux_nat_trad_target::fetch_register):
	Also handle registers whose width is not a multiple of
	PTRACE_TYPE_RET.
	(linux_nat_trad_target::store_register): Likewise.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
