John Baldwin 498f740792 Add a helper function to trad_frame to support register cache maps.
Currently, signal frame handlers require explicitly coded calls to
trad_frame_set_reg_addr() to describe the location of saved registers
within a signal frame.  This change permits the regcache_map_entry
arrays used with regcache::supply_regset and regcache::collect_regset
to be used to describe a block of saved registers given an initial
address for the register block.

Some systems use the same layout for registers in core dump notes,
native register sets with ptrace(), and the register contexts saved in
signal frames.  On these systems, a single register map can now be
used to describe the layout of registers in all three places.

If a register map entry's size does not match the native size of a
register, try to match the semantics used by
regcache::transfer_regset.  If a register slot is too large, assume
that the register's value is stored in the first N bytes and ignore
the remaning bytes.  If the register slot is smaller than the
register, assume the slot holds the low N bytes of the register's
value.  Read these low N bytes from the target and zero-extend them to
generate a register value.

While here, document the semantics for both regcache::transfer_regset
and trad_frame with respect to register slot's whose size does not
match the register's size.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* regcache.h (struct regcache_map_entry): Note that this type can
	be used with traditional frame caches.
	* trad-frame.c (trad_frame_set_reg_regmap): New.
	* trad-frame.h (trad_frame_set_reg_regmap): New.

		   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.
