Generally, the documentation doesn't allow for any explicit operands
to be specified with MONITOR/MWAIT. To permit the more legible
overriding of the address size via specifying operands, the option is
being retained even in Intel mode, but operand swapping is being
suppressed by this patch. This is both because it makes no sense here
(all of the operands are inputs) and because, as a result, old gcc
(prior to 4.8) actually expects it this way with -mintel-syntax (and
hence gets fixed by this change rather than, as claimed by a reply in
the bug report, broken).
Conversions which shrink element size and which have a memory source
can't be disambiguated between their 128- and 256-bit variants by
looking at the register operand. "operand size mismatch", however, is a
pretty misleading diagnostic. Generalize the logic introduced for
VFPCLASSP{S,D} such that, with suitable similar adjustments to the
respective templates, it'll cover these cases too.
For VCVTNEPS2BF16 also fold the two previously separate AVX512VL
templates to achieve the intended effect. This is then also accompanied
by a respective addition to the inval-avx512f testcase.
Since SSE3 is independent of SSE4a, don't disable SSE3 when disabling

This changes gdbserver so that it no longer builds its own gnulib and

gdbsupport is still built specially for gdbserver. This is more

displaced_step_inferior_state::reset and displaced_step_clear appear to
have the same goal, but they don't do the same thing.
displaced_step_inferior_state::reset clears more things than
displaced_step_clear, but it misses free'ing the closure, which
displaced_step_clear does.
This patch replaces displaced_step_clear's implementation with just a call to
displaced_step_inferior_state::reset. It then changes
displaced_step_inferior_state::step_closure to be a unique_ptr, to indicate the
fact that displaced_step_inferior_state owns the closure (and so that it is
automatically freed when the field is reset).
The test gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp caught a problem when doing this, which
I consider to be a latent bug which my cleanup exposes. In
handle_inferior_event, in the TARGET_WAITKIND_FORKED case, if we displaced-step
over a fork syscall, we make sure to restore the memory that we used as a
displaced-stepping buffer in the child. We do so using the
displaced_step_inferior_state of the parent. However, we do it after calling
displaced_step_fixup for the parent, which clears the information in the
parent's displaced_step_inferior_state. It worked fine before, because
displaced_step_clear didn't completely clear the displaced_step_inferior_state
structure, so the required information (in this case the gdbarch) was
still available after clearing.
I fixed it by making GDB restore the child's memory before calling the
displaced_step_fixup on the parent. This way, the data in the
displaced_step_inferior_state structure is still valid when we use it for the
child. This is the error you would get in
gdb.base/step-over-syscall.exp without this fix:
/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbarch.c:3911: internal-error: ULONGEST gdbarch_max_insn_length(gdbarch*): Assertion `gdbarch != NULL' failed.

For a fix I intend to submit, I would need a function that counts the
number of set bits in a word. There is __builtin_popcount that is
supported by gcc and clang, but there is also a gnulib module that wraps
that and provides a fallback for other compilers, so I think it would be
good to use it.
I also noticed that there is a bitcount function in arch/arm.c, so I
thought that as a first step I would replace that one with the gnulib
count-one-bits module. This is what this patch does.
The gnulib module provides multiple functions, with various parameter
length (unsigned int, unsigned long int, unsigned long long int), I
chose the one that made sense for each call site based on the argument
type.

For these to get treatment consistent with other operand size checking
the special logic shouldn't live in md_assemble(), but process_suffix().
And there's more logic involved than simply zapping the suffix.
Note however that MOVS[BW]* and MOVZ[BW]* still won't be fully
consistent, due to the objection to fold MOVS* templates just like was
done for MOVZ* in c07315e0c6 ("x86: allow suffix-less movzw and 64-bit
movzb").
Note further that it is against my own intentions to have MOVSX/MOVZX
silently default to a byte source in AT&T mode. This should happen only
when the destination register is a 16-bit one. In all other cases there
is an ambiguity, and the user should be warned. But it was explicitly
requested for this to be done in a way inconsistent with everything
else.
Note finally that the assembler change points out (and this patch fixes)
a wrong Intel syntax test introduced by bc31405ebb ("x86-64: Properly
encode and decode movsxd"): When source code specifies a 16-bit
destination register, disassembly expectations shouldn't have been to
find a 32-bit one.
Since we already suppress the prefix altogether when it's the default
one for the chosen addressing mode, let's do so also when instruction
prefix and override specified with the memory operand match. (Note that
insn prefix specified segment overrides never get discarded.)
For one both possible forms should be warned about. And then, to guard
against future surprises, qualify the original opcode check by excluding
VEX/EVEX-like templates.

For the same reasons outlined in the previous patch, this patch renames
gdbserver source files to .cc.
I have moved the "-x c++" switch to only those rules that require it.
gdbserver/ChangeLog:

* %.c: Rename to %.cc.
* configure.ac: Rename server.c to server.cc.

This patch renames the .c source files in gdbsupport to .cc.
In the gdb directory, there is an argument against renaming the source
files, which is that it makes using some git commands more difficult to
do archeology. Some commands have some kind of "follow" option that
makes git try to follow renames, but it doesn't work in all situations.
Given that we have just moved the gdbsupport directory, that argument
doesn't hold for source files in that directory. I therefore suggest
renaming them to .cc, so that they are automatically recognized as C++
by various tools and editors.
The original motivation behind this is that when building gdbsupport
with clang, I get:
CC agent.o
clang: error: treating 'c' input as 'c++' when in C++ mode, this behavior is deprecated [-Werror,-Wdeprecated]
In the gdb/ directory, we make clang happy by passing "-x c++". We
could do this in gdbsupport too, but I think that renaming the files is
a better long-term solution.
gdbserver still does its own build of gdbsupport, so a few changes in
its Makefile are necessary.

Now that comp_unit and the remaining frame data are all independent of
the objfile, it can all be stored on the BFD and shared across

As with other code doing this same thing, care must be taken to not
share the data when the objfile requires relocations. So, two keys
are used: one for the BFD and one for the objfile, and
gdb_bfd_requires_relocations is used to differentiate between the two
cases.

With AVX512VL disabled (e.g. when writing code for the Knights family
of processors) these insns aren't ambiguous when used with a memory
source, and hence should be accepted without suffix or operand size
specifier. When AVX512VL is enabled, to be consistent with this as
well as other ambiguous operand size handling it would seem better to
just warn about the ambiguity in AT&T mode, and still default to 512-bit
operands (on the assumption that the code may have been written without
AVX512VL in mind yet), but it was requested to leave AT&T syntax mode
alone here.
Now that the AMD64 check in match_template() applies to 64-bit code
only, the non-64-bit and the Amd64 template can be folded, as being
otherwise compatible with one another. (Oddly enough the same doesn't
apply to CALL, due to the suffixes it permits, while JMP doesn't
allow for any.)
