gdb/ChangeLog
Update copyright year range in copyright header of all GDB files.
A few changes have been made to make the register support simpler,
more flexible and extendible. The trigger for most of these changes
are the remarks [1] made earlier for v2 of this patch. The noticeable
improvements are:
- The arc XML target features are placed under gdb/features/arc
- There are two cores (based on ISA) and one auxiliary feature:
v1-core: ARC600, ARC601, ARC700
v2-core: ARC EM, ARC HS
aux: common in both
- The XML target features represent a minimalistic sane set of
registers irrespective of application (baremetal or linux).
- A concept of "feature" class has been introduced in the code.
The "feature" object is constructed from BFD and GDBARCH data.
It contains necessary information (ISA and register size) to
determine which XML target feature to use.
- A new structure (ARC_REGISTER_FEATURE) is added that allows
providing index, names, and the necessity of registers. This
simplifies the sanity checks and future extendibility.
- Documnetation has been updated to reflect ARC features better.
- Although the feature names has changed, there still exists
backward compatibility with older names through
find_obsolete_[core,aux]_names() functions.
The last two points were inspired from RiscV port.

gdb/ChangeLog:
* arch/arc.h
(arc_gdbarch_features): New class to stir the selection of target XML.
(arc_create_target_description): Use FEATURES to choose XML target.
(arc_lookup_target_description): Use arc_create_target_description
to create _new_ target descriptions or return the already created
ones if the FEATURES is the same.
* arch/arc.c: Implementation of prototypes described above.
* gdb/arc-tdep.h (arc_regnum enum): Add more registers.
(arc_gdbarch_features_init): Initialize the FEATURES struct.
* arc-tdep.c (*_feature_name): Make feature names consistent.
(arc_register_feature): A new struct to hold information about
registers of a particular target/feature.
(arc_check_tdesc_feature): Check if XML provides registers in
compliance with ARC_REGISTER_FEATURE structs.
(arc_update_acc_reg_names): Add aliases for r58 and r59.
(determine_*_reg_feature_set): Which feature name to look for.
(arc_gdbarch_features_init): Given MACH and ABFD, initialize FEATURES.
(mach_type_to_arc_isa): Convert from a set of binutils machine types
to expected ISA enums to be used in arc_gdbarch_features structs.
* features/Makefile (FEATURE_XMLFILES): Add new files.
* gdb/features/arc/v1-aux.c: New file.
* gdb/features/arc/v1-aux.xml: Likewise.
* gdb/features/arc/v1-core.c: Likewise.
* gdb/features/arc/v1-core.xml: Likewise.
* gdb/features/arc/v2-aux.c: Likewise.
* gdb/features/arc/v2-aux.xml: Likewise.
* gdb/features/arc/v2-core.c: Likewise.
* gdb/features/arc/v2-core.xml: Likewise.
* NEWS (Changes since GDB 9): Announce obsolence of old feature names.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
* gdb.texinfo (Synopsys ARC): Update the documentation for ARC
Features.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/arc-tdesc-cpu.xml: Use new feature names.
This patch replaces usage of target descriptions in ARC, where the whole
description is fixed in XML, with new target descriptions where XML describes
individual features, and GDB assembles those features into actual target
description.
v2:
Removed arc.c from ALLDEPFILES in gdb/Makefile.in.
Removed vim modeline from arc-tdep.c to have it in a separate patch.
Removed braces from one line "if/else".
Undid the type change for "jb_pc" (kept it as "int").
Joined the unnecessary line breaks into one line.
No more moving around arm targets in gdb/features/Makefile.
Changed pattern checking for ARC features from "arc/{aux,core}" to "arc/".
v3:
Added include gaurds to arc.h.
Added arc_read_description to _create_ target descriptions less.
v4:
Got rid of ARC_SYS_TYPE_NONE.
Renamed ARC_SYS_TYPE_INVALID to ARC_SYS_TYPE_NUM.
Fixed a few indentations/curly braces.
Converted arc_sys_type_to_str from a macro to an inline function.
