[PATCH V7 0/8] Intel(R) MPX register support


Mark and all,

I have noticed no feedback on this patch series. 
Is there a major change that you would like to see in here?

Thanks a lot for your support,
Best regards,
-Fred


This patch series adds support for the Intel(R) Memory Protection 
Extension MPX registers.  Native and remote debugging are covered
by this patch.

New registers are bound registers known as bnd register (bnd0...bnd3),
a configuration register bndcfgu and a status register bndstatus.  Bound
registers store pointer bounds, i.e. bound limits of a pointer.  Bndstatus
and bndcfgu store information of the current status and configuration
of other MPX counterparts.  For more information [1][2].

Design notes:
Bound register are represented in hardware as two fields of 64bits each,
both in 64bit and 32bit mode. The fields are lower bound and upper bound.
Upper bound value is a complement of one value of the upper limiting
address. To take this into account the bnd0...bnd3 are created as pseudo
registers while the hardware values are stored on bnd0raw...bnd3raw.

Ok to commit?

Approvals:
  Documentation  (8/8) was approved by Eli.


Changes between V6 and V7:

	* Fixed initialization of MPX registers in i386_gdbarch_init. 
	This fixed some regressions.
	* Fixed indentation for macros on i386-xstate.h.
	* Preserved symmetry of initializing the I386_LINUX_ORIG_EAX_REGNUM
	using the way it was used formely by AVX.
	
Changes between V5 and V6:

	* Removed some fields from gdbarch_tdep and added them as macros,
	as indicated by Mark Kettenis.
	* Fixed a comparison for XCR0 on gdbserver implementation.	

Changes between V4 and V5:

	* Improved text for MPX feature on gdb.texinfo following Eli indications.
	* Fixed one table that still had ORIG_EAX and ORIG_RAX in the middle.

Changes between V3 and V4:

	* Added NEWS entry for MPX.
	* Improved text for MPX feature on gdb.texinfo.
	* Fixed several ChangeLogs.

Changes between V2 and V3:

	* Small changes on changelogs: "Add MPX support for i386" and "Add 
	support for MPX amd64".
	* Add MPX feature documentation as extra patch.

Changes between V1 and V2:

	* Folowing the Mark Kettenis feedback: Orig_rax and orig_eax are left as the
	last register on the internal list.
	* Ported gcc file used for cpuid and corrected overlooked condition to 
	detect MPX hardware while performing MPX related tests. 


Walfred Tedeschi (8):
  Fix conditions in creating a bitfield.
  Add MPX registers XML files.
  Add MPX support for i386
  MPX for amd64
  Add MPX support to gdbserver.
  Add pretty-printer for MPX bnd registers.
  Add MPX registers tests.
  Add MPX feature description to GDB manual.
