Currently, in i386_linux_core_read_description, if GDB fails to
extract an xcr0 value from the core file, then we will have a default
zero value for the xcr0 variable, we still call the
i386_linux_read_description function, which checks for this zero value
and returns nullptr.
Back in i386_linux_core_read_description we spot the nullptr return
value from i386_linux_read_description and call
i386_linux_read_description again, but this time passing a default
value for xcr0.
In the next commit I plan to rework i386_linux_read_description, and
in so doing I will remove the check for xcr0 == 0, this is inline with
how the amd64 code is written.
However, this means that the 'xcr0 == 0' check needs to move up the
stack to i386_linux_core_read_description, again, this brings the i386
code into line with the amd64 code.
This is just a refactor in preparation for the next commit, there
should be no user visible changes after this commit.

This patch is part of a series that has the aim sharing the x86 Linux
target description creation code between GDB and gdbserver.
Within GDB part of this process involves reading the cs and ds state
from the 'struct user_regs_struct' using a ptrace call.
This isn't done by gdbserver, which is part of the motivation for this
whole series; the approach gdbserver takes is inferior to the approach
GDB takes (gdbserver relies on reading the file being debugged, and
extracting similar information from the file headers).
This commit moves the reading of cs and ds, which is used to figure
out if a thread is 32-bit or 64-bit (or in x32 mode), into the gdb/nat
directory so that the code can be shared with gdbserver, but at this
point I'm not actually using the code in gdbserver, that will come
later.
As such there should be no user visible changes after this commit, GDB
continues to do things as it did before (reading cs/ds), while
gdbserver continues to use its own approach (which doesn't require
reading cs/ds).

In a later commit I want to access have_ptrace_getregset from a .c
file in the nat/ directory. To achieve this I need access to the
declaration of have_ptrace_getregset.
Currently have_ptrace_getregset is declared (and defined) twice, once
in GDB and once in gdbserver.
This commit moves the declaration into nat/linux-nat.h, but leaves the
two definitions where they are. Now, in my later commit, I can pull
in the declaration from nat/linux-nat.h.

The have_ptrace_getfpxregs global tracks whether GDB or gdbserver is
running on a kernel that supports the GETFPXREGS ptrace request.
Currently this global is declared twice (once in GDB and once in
gdbserver), I think it makes sense to move this global into the nat/
directory, and have a single declaration and definition.
While moving this variable I have converted it to a tribool, as that
was what it really was, if even used the same numbering as the tribool
enum (-1, 0, 1). Where have_ptrace_getfpxregs was used I have updated
in the obvious way.
However, while making this change I noticed what I think is a bug in
x86_linux_nat_target::read_description and x86_linux_read_description,
both of these functions can be called multiple times, but in both
cases we only end up calling i386_linux_read_description the first
time through in the event that PTRACE_GETFPXREGS is not supported.
This is because initially have_ptrace_getfpxregs will be
TRIBOOL_UNKNOWN, but after the ptrace call fails we set
have_ptrace_getfpxregs to TRIBOOL_FALSE. The next time we attempt to
read the target description we'll skip the ptrace call, and so skip
the call to i386_linux_read_description.
I've not tried to address this preexisting bug in this commit, this is
purely a refactor, there should be no user visible changes after this
commit. In later commits I'll merge the gdbserver and GDB code
together into the nat/ directory, and after that I'll try to address
this bug.

This commit is part of a series that aims to share more of the x86
target description reading/generation code between GDB and gdbserver.
There are a huge number of similarities between the code in
gdbserver's x86_linux_read_description function and GDB's
x86_linux_nat_target::read_description function, and it is this
similarity that I plan, in a later commit, to share between GDB and
gdbserver.
However, one thing that is different in x86_linux_read_description is
the code inside the '!use_xml' block. This is the code that handles
the case where gdbserver is not allowed to send an XML target
description back to GDB. In this case gdbserver uses some predefined,
fixed, target descriptions.
First, it's worth noting that I suspect this code is not tested any
more. I couldn't find anything in the testsuite that tries to disable
XML target description support. And the idea of having a single
"fixed" target description really doesn't work well when we think
about all the various x86 extensions that exist. Part of me would
like to rip out the no-xml support in gdbserver (at least for x86),
and if a GDB connects that doesn't support XML target descriptions,
gdbserver can just give an error and drop the connection. GDB has
supported XML target descriptions for 16 years now, I think it would
be reasonable for our shipped gdbserver to drop support for the old
way of doing things.
Anyway.... this commit doesn't do that.
What I did notice was that, over time, the '!use_xml' block appears to
have "drifted" within the x86_linux_read_description function; it's
now not the first check we do. Instead we make some ptrace calls and
return a target description generated based on the result of these
ptrace calls. Surely it only makes sense to generate variable target
descriptions if we can send these back to GDB?
So in this commit I propose to move the '!use_xml' block earlier in
the x86_linux_read_description function.
The benefit of this is that this leaves the later half of
x86_linux_read_description much more similar to the GDB function
x86_linux_nat_target::read_description and sets us up for potentially
sharing code between GDB and gdbserver in a later commit.

For historic reasons we have ended up with a random set of discontiguous
bit assignments for INSN_* flags within `membership' and `exclusions'
members of `mips_opcode'. Some of the bits were previously used for ASE
assignments and have been reused in a disorganised fashion since `ase'
has been split off as a member on its own. It makes them hard to track
and maintain, and to see how many we still have available for future
assignments.
Therefore reorder the flags using consecutive bits and matching the
order used with the switch statement in `cpu_is_member'.

Invalid data type for function to be called.

This now looks if an user-defined call operator is available when
trying to 'call' a struct value, and calls it instead, making this
possible:
```
(gdb) p s(10)

The change in operation::evaluate_funcall is to make sure the type

While working on a later patch in this series, I noticed that GDB
would print the message:
Reading /path/to/file from remote target...
Even when /path/to/file doesn't exist on the remote target.
GDB does indeed try to open /path/to/file, but I'm not sure we really
need to tell the user unless we actually manage to open the file, and
plan to read content from it.
If we consider how GDB probes for separate debug files, we can attempt
to open multiple possible files, most of them will not exist. When we
are native debugging we don't bother telling the user about each file
we're checking for, we just announce any file we finally use.
I think it makes sense to do a similar thing for remote files.
So, in remote_target::remote_hostio_open(), I'd like to move the block
of code that prints the above message to after the open call has been
made, and we should only print the message if the open succeeds.
Now GDB only tells the user about files that we actually open and read
from the remote.

In build_id_to_bfd_suffix we look in each debug-file-directory for a
file matching the required build-id.
If we don't find one then we add the sysroot and perform the search
again.
However, the default sysroot is 'target:', and for a native target
this just means to search on the local machine. So by default, if the
debug information is not present, then we end up searching each
location twice.
I think we only need to perform the "with sysroot" check if either:
1. The sysroot is something other than 'target:'. If the user has
set it to '/some/directory' then we should check this sysroot. Or if
the user has set it to 'target:/some/other_directory', this is also
worth checking.
2. If the sysroot is 'target:', but the target's filesystem is not
local (i.e. the user is connected to a remote target), then we should
check using the sysroot as this will be looking on the remote
machine.
There's no tests for this as the whole point here is that I'm removing
duplicate work. No test regressions were seen though.

In remote.c lives remote_target::remote_hostio_send_command(), which
is used to handle sending a fileio packet to the remote, and for
parsing the reply packet.
Some commands, e.g. open, pwrite, close, send some arguments to the
remote, and then get back a single integer return value.
Other commands though, e.g. pread, readlink, fstat, send some
arguments and get back an integer return value and some additional
data. This additional data is called the attachment.
Except, we only get the attachment if the command completes
successfully. For example, calling readlink with a non existent path
will result in a return packet: 'F-1,2' with no attachment. This is
as expected.
Within remote_hostio_send_command we call remote_hostio_parse_result,
this parses the status code (-1 in our example above) and
then parses the errno value (2 in our example above).
Back in remote_hostio_parse_result we then hit this block:
/* Make sure we saw an attachment if and only if we expected one. */
if ((attachment_tmp == NULL && attachment != NULL)
|| (attachment_tmp != NULL && attachment == NULL))
{
*remote_errno = FILEIO_EINVAL;
return -1;
}
Which ensures that commands that expect an attachment, got an
attachment.
The problem is, we'll only get an attachment if the command
succeeded. If it didn't, then there is no attachment, and that is as
expected.
As remote_hostio_parse_result always sets the returned error number to
FILEIO_SUCCESS unless the packet contained an actual error
number (e.g. 2 in our example above), I suggest we should return early
if remote_hostio_parse_result indicates an error packet.
I ran into this issue while working on another patch. In that patch I
was checking the error code returned by a remote readlink call and
spotted that when I passed an invalid path I got EINVAL instead of
ENOENT. This patch fixes this issue.
Unfortunately the patch I was working on evolved, and my need to check
the error code went away, and so, right now, I have no way to reveal
this bug. But I think this is an obviously correct fix, and worth
merging even without a test.

The problem was introduced with the change to gmp functions in
commit 303a881f87.
It's wrong because gdb_mpz::operator>> uses mpz_tdif_q_2exp, which
always rounds toward zero, and the gmp docu says this:
For positive n both mpz_fdiv_q_2exp and mpz_tdiv_q_2exp are simple
bitwise right shifts.
For negative n, mpz_fdiv_q_2exp is effectively an arithmetic right shift
treating n as two's complement the same as the bitwise logical functions
do, whereas mpz_tdiv_q_2exp effectively treats n as sign and magnitude.
So this changes mpz_tdiv_q_2exp to mpz_fdiv_q_2exp, since it
does right shifts for both positive and negative numbers.

On macOS sonoma, printing a string would only print the first
character. For instance, if there was a 'const char *s = "foobar"',
then the 'print s' command would print '$1 = "f"' rather than the
expected '$1 = "foobar"'.
It seems that this is due to Apple silently replacing the version
of libiconv they ship with the OS to one which silently fails to
handle the 'outbytesleft' parameter correctly when using 'wchar_t'
as a target encoding.
This specifically causes issues when using iterating through a
string as wchar_iterator does.
This bug is visible even if you build for an old version of macOS,
but then run on Sonoma. Therefore this fix in the code applies
generally to macOS, and not specific to building on Sonoma. Building
for an older version and expecting forwards compatibility is a
common situation on macOS.
