x86 CPU support, better support for powerpc64, some new directives, and
many other things. Bump __FreeBSD_version, and add a note to UPDATING.
Thanks to the many people that have helped to test this.

Implement MACHINE_ARCH=mips64e[lb] to build N64 images. This replaces
MACHINE_ARCH=mipse[lb] TARGET_ABI=n64.
MACHINE_ARCH=mipsn32e[lb] has been added, but currently requires
WITHOUT_CDDL due to atomic issues in libzfs. I've not investigated
this much, but implemented this to preserve as much of the TARGET_ABI
functionality that I could. Since its presence doesn't affect the
working cases, I've kept it in for now.
Added mips64e[lb] to make universe, so more kernels build.
And I think this (finally) closes the curtain on the tbemd tree.
thread specific informations.
In order to do that, and in order to avoid KBI breakage with existing
infrastructure the following semantic is implemented:
- For live programs, a new member to the PT_LWPINFO is added (pl_tdname)
- For cores, a new ELF note is added (NT_THRMISC) that can be used for
storing thread specific, miscellaneous, informations. Right now it is
just popluated with a thread name.
GDB, then, retrieves the correct informations from the corefile via the
BFD interface, as it groks the ELF notes and create appropriate
pseudo-sections.

TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN is now completely dead, except where it was
originally supposed to be used (internally in the toolchain building).
TARGET_ARCH has changed in three cases:
(1) Little endian mips has changed to mipsel.
(2) Big endian mips has changed to mipseb.
(3) Big endian arm has changed to armeb.
Some additional changes are needed to make 'make universe' work on arm
and mips after this change, so those are commented out for now.
UPDATING information will be forthcoming. Any remaining rough edges
will be hammered out in -current.
ABI change on ILP32 platforms and relating to events. However
it's harmless on little-endian ILP32 platforms in the sense
that it doesn't cause breakages. Old ILP32 thread libraries
write a 32-bit th_p and new thread libraries write a 64-bit
th_p. But due to the fact that we have an unused 32-bit data
field right after th_p and that field is always initialized to
zero, little-endian ILP32 machines effectively have a valid
64-bit th_p by accident. Likewise for new thread libraries and
old libthread_db: little endian ILP32 is unaffected.
At this time we don't support big-endian threaded applications
in GDB, so the breakage for the ILP32 case goes unnoticed.
force the FreeBSD multithreaded core target to not register any target
for handling core dumps. This is analogous to the
'coreops_suppress_target' variable that GDB provides for suppressing the
default core dump target. KGDB will use this new variable so it can
provide its own core dump target that uses libkvm to work with vmcore
files.
- Adjust the long name and documentation of the FreeBSD multithreaded core
dump target so it better matches what GDB's core dump target uses.

first getting the current state with td_thr_getxmmregs_p. Without this,
debugging a threaded app that uses libthr resulted in kernel panics or
spurious SIGFPEs for me.
(As of revision 1.6, sys/i386/i386/ptrace_machdep.c masks off the
reserved bits in the mxcsr register, which prevents the kernel panics.)
Architectures without PT_GETXMMREGS are not affected.

list of frame sniffers so that trapframes can be detected. The kluge
is needed because this version of gdb only supports appending a
sniffer to the list of sniffers and the moment kgdb gets a chance to
add its own frame sniffer, the target's default frame sniffer is
already in the list. Since the default frame sniffer claims any
frame thrown at it, kgdb's frame sniffer never gets to smell (a
process much akin to tasting, but with lesser chance of hurling :-)
This commit adds dummy frame sniffers that never claim a frame and
as such don't fix anything yet. However, we now have frame sniffers
and they are being called, so it's just a matter of adding meat to
the bones and we'll be able to properly unwind across trapframes.

lwp ID before invoking the underlying target operation.
For corefiles, we rely on gdb internals to do this, and it uses the
pid as an index, rather than the lwpid, so previously, backtraces
for multithreaded core files wasn't working correctly. For processes,
we currently use ptrace directly, so fixup that code to also use
the pid directly.

solib-svr4.c to the MD makefiles because they are native files for

Note that kgdb(1) does not yet build as a cross-debugger due to

changes, start on a new line. Insertion of a filename will keep the
diff limited to the block of filenames that have the same first letter
instead of creating a huge diff. While here, move remote.c after the
remote-*.c files and move tui.c after the tui-*.c files. This matches
the order of ls(1) and makes it easier to compare object files created
by a stock gdb(1) build with the list of files we have here.
This is a non-functional change only.
