This patch uses ELF strtab with GC and suffix merging support to create
ELF .strtab section. There is some small memory overhead to use ELF
strtab:

The bfin/msp430 ports already had trace logic set up for reading/writing
cpu registers, albeit using different unrelated levels (core & vpu). Add
a proper register class for these and for other ports.
The default gdb sysroot now sets itself to "target:". This works for
most remote targets, but when using the simulator, this causes problems
as the sim will attempt to search for that path.
Update the remote-sim logic to skip this leading prefix when it is found
so that the sysroot isn't passed in as an invalid value.

The test
test_histsize_history_setting "99999999999999999999999999999999999" "unlimited"
was failing on i686 because the condition in init_history() for
determining whether to map a large GDBHISTSIZE value to infinity was
long var = strtol (tmpenv);
if (var > INT_MAX)
history_size = unlimited;
but this condition is never true on i686 because INT_MAX == LONG_MAX.
So in order to properly map large out-of-range values of GDBHISTSIZE to
infinity on targets where LONG_MAX > INT_MAX as well as on i686, we have
to instead change the above condition to
if (var > INT_MAX
|| (var == INT_MAX && errno == ERANGE))
history_size = unlimited;
gdb/ChangeLog:
* top.c (init_history): Look at errno after calling strtol to
properly map large GDBHISTSIZE values to infinity.
This helper macro has largely the same behavior as libiberty's lbasename.
There is a slight nuance related to colons, but it's not clear what the
point of that is, and the code implies that it just wants the basename.
The following patch fixed the assembly / disassembly of the rfebb instruction:

This patch updates the gdb testsuite to match the new disassembly behavior.

Since --trace-debug is for people hacking on the sim sources rather than
people just using the sim, default it to off. This matches the behavior
of other debug knobs we have.
have_ptrace_getregset is a tri-state variable (-1, 0, 1), and we have
some conditions like "if (have_ptrace_getregset)", which is not correct.
I'll explain why it is not correct in the following example. This fix
to this problem to replace the test (have_ptrace_getregset) to test
(have_ptrace_getregset == 1) or (have_ptrace_getregset == -1) etc.
However Doug thinks it hinders readability
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-05/msg00692.html so I decide
to add a new enum tribool and change have_ptrace_getregset to it, in
order to make these tests more readable.
have_ptrace_getregset is initialised to -1, and is adjusted to 0 or 1 in
$ARCH_linux_read_description according to the capability of the kernel.
However, it is possible that have_ptrace_getregset is used before it is
set to 0 or 1, which means it is still -1. This is shown below.

ISA 2.07 added a new category called Elemental Memory Barriers that modifies
the sync instruction to accept an additional operand ESYNC. Edmar added
support for this insruction varient here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2012-02/msg00221.html
Looking at this closer, I see that the insert_ls() function is misnamed
(since it's attached to the ESYNC operand, not the LS operand) but more
importantly, it is silently modifying the LS operand value behind the
users back when the LS operand is either invalid or is incompatible with
the new ESYNC operand. The ISA 2.07 doc has an Assembler Note that clearly
states that assemblers that support the ESYNC operand should report all
invalid uses of LS and ESYNC. This patch changes the assembler to
error out on invalid and incompatible operand usage.

ISA 2.07 (ie, POWER8) added the rfebb instruction which takes one operand
with the value of either a 0 or 1. It also defines an extended mnemonic
with no operands (ie, "rfebb") that is supposed to be equivalent to "rfebb 1".
I implemented rfebb's lone operand with PPC_OPERAND_OPTIONAL, but the
problem is, optional operands that are ommitted always default to the
value 0, which is wrong in this case. I have added support for allowing
non-zero default values by adding an additional flag PPC_OPERAND_OPTIONAL_VALUE
that specifies that the default operand value to be used is stored in the
SHIFT field of the operand field immediately following this one.
This fixes the rfebb issue. I also fixed the mftb and mfcr instructions
so they use the same mechanism. This allows us to flag invalid uses of
mfcr where we explicitly pass in a zero FXM value, like the use in a2.[sd].
