[PATCH 00/11] gdbstub/next - bug fixes and cleanups (pre-PR)

[Alex Bennée]

Flushing my queue for gdbstub/next and I'll roll a PR by the end of
the week to get the bug fixes in. The other re-factoring patches are
towards a longer term goal of supporting more stop packet reply types
but aren't critical to merge save reducing the delta. I won't include
them in the PR unless reviewed:

  gdbstub/user: rename and use bool for running_state
  include/gdbstub: fix typo
  gdbstub: pass GString to gdb_build_stop_packet
  gdbstub/user: localise variables for reading gdb socket
  gdbstub: extract stop reply message construction
  gdbstub: remove the need for goto cleanup

Alex.

[PATCH 01/11] meson-buildoptions: Remove duplicated entry of --gdb in the help text

[Alex Bennée]

Since --gdb has recently been added to meson_options.txt, the help
text shows up twice in the output of "./configure --help":

 $ ./configure --help | grep gdb
   --gdb=GDB-path           gdb to use for gdbstub tests [/usr/bin/gdb]
   --gdb=VALUE              Path to GDB

As the probed value is of interest we want to keep the configure text
so make meson-buildoptions able to handle deferring to configure.

[PATCH 03/11] gdbstub: remove the need for goto cleanup

[Alex Bennée]

We already set a default error reply which we can only overwrite if we
successfully follow the chain of checks. Initialise the variables as
NULL and use that to gate the construction of the filled out
stop/reply packet.

The `cpu` gated block doesn't have a closing brace here thereby breaking
build, but it does in the next patch. Maybe a `git add -p` gone awry?

Also, would it make sense to move the `cpu` and the to-be nested block
below it into the `process` gated block to avoid the `cpu` check
whenever `process` is NULL?

It is not yet merged, but should be within the next 2 weeks now.

[PATCH 04/11] gdbstub: extract stop reply message construction

[Alex Bennée]

The stop reply message we send can include a lot of extra information
and a bunch is mode dependant. Extract the construction into a helper
and add specialised versions for system and user mode.

The correct response for system mode should be of the form:

  T05core:N;

Where N is the core ID.

This function is brand new in patch 4.
Why not just merge these two patches?

[PATCH 07/11] include/gdbstub/syscalls: Add EIO and ENOSYS GDB File-I/O errno values

[Alex Bennée]

From: Yodel Eldar <yodel.eldar@yodel.dev>

This patch adds the EIO and ENOSYS errno values that were missing from
the GDB Manual [1] when the other errno values were defined.

[PATCH 08/11] gdbstub: Export host_to_gdb_errno File-I/O helper function

[Alex Bennée]

From: Yodel Eldar <yodel.eldar@yodel.dev>

Move host_to_gdb_errno from target/m68k/m68k-semi.c to
gdbstub/syscalls.c. Declare it in include/gdbstub/syscalls.h.

Add both newly added GDB File-I/O supported errno values, EIO and
ENOSYS, to the mapping.

[PATCH 09/11] gdbstub/user-target: Convert host errno to GDB File-I/O errno

[Alex Bennée]

From: Yodel Eldar <yodel.eldar@yodel.dev>

Use host_to_gdb_errno to convert host-supplied errnos to their GDB
File-I/O remote protocol values, and use them in F reply packets.

"iff" is not generally a typo: it is an abbreviation for "if and only if".
We tend to prefer not to use that abbreviation, though, because
unless you happen to have a background in mathematics you probably
won't recognise it.

In this case I don't think spelling out "if and only if" brings
us any more clarity than using a plain "if", so I'm OK with the
change itself and we can just tweak the commit message.

thanks
