Similar to stack cache, in this patch, we add TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY to read code from target and add a new option "set code-cache on|off" to optimize code accesses by using the target memory cache. In V4: - Remove "without affecting correctness" from NEWS and doc. - Replace "ON" with "on" in doc. - "access" -> "accesses". In V3: - Rename functions and variables. - Update command help, doc and NEWS entry. - Invalidate cache on option transitions, to align with the behaviour of "stack-cache". Since cache invalidation is transparent to users, users don't know option "stack-cache" transitions cause code cache invalidation. V2 was reviewed by Doug. There are some changes in V3, so I post it here. gdb: 2013-11-24 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com> * NEWS: Add note on new "set code-cache" option. * target-dcache.c (code_cache_enabled_1): New variable. (code_cache_enabled): New variable. (show_code_cache, set_code_cache): New function. (code_cache_enabled_p): New function. (_initialize_target_dcache): Register command. * target-dcache.h (code_cache_enabled_p): Declare. * target.c (memory_xfer_partial_1):Handle TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY and code_cache_enabled. (target_read_code): New function. * target.h (enum target_object) <TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY>: New. (target_read_code): Declare. gdb/doc: 2013-11-24 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com> * gdb.texinfo (Caching Remote Data): Document new "set/show stack-cache" option.
