Hui Li 6ced1278fc gdb: LoongArch: Add support for hardware breakpoint
LoongArch defines hardware watchpoint functions for fetch operations.
After the software configures the watchpoints for fetch, the processor
hardware will monitor the access addresses of the fetch operations and
trigger a watchpoint exception when the watchpoint setting conditions
are met.

Hardware watchpoints for fetch operations is used to implement hardware
breakpoint function on LoongArch. Refer to the following document for
hardware breakpoint.
https://loongson.github.io/LoongArch-Documentation/LoongArch-Vol1-EN.html#control-and-status-registers-related-to-watchpoints

A simple test is as follows:

lihui@bogon:~$ cat test.c
  #include <stdio.h>
  int a = 0;
  int main()
  {
        printf("start test\n");
        a = 1;
        printf("a = %d\n", a);
        printf("end test\n");
        return 0;
  }
lihui@bogon:~$ gcc -g test.c -o test

without this patch:

lihui@bogon:~$ gdb test
...
(gdb) start
...
Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:5
5               printf("start test\n");
(gdb) hbreak 8
No hardware breakpoint support in the target.

with this patch:

lihui@bogon:~$ gdb test
...
(gdb) start
...

Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:5
5               printf("start test\n");
(gdb) hbreak 8
Hardware assisted breakpoint 2 at 0x1200006ec: file test.c, line 8.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
start test
a = 1

Breakpoint 2, main () at test.c:8
8               printf("end test\n");
(gdb) c
Continuing.
end test
[Inferior 1 (process 25378) exited normally]

		   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.
