Generate an XML description for the cp-regs.
Register these regs with the gdb_register_coprocessor().
Add arm_gdb_get_sysreg() to use it as a callback to read those regs.
Add a dummy arm_gdb_set_sysreg().

g_free for a g_strndup'ed string please - although I'm confused as to
why you need to g_strdup the string. You already have p and its not like
gdb_get_dynamic_xml couldn't dup the string if it needed to (which it
doesn't seem to).

There is something odd going on here because if I run a simple little
features binary
(https://github.com/stsquad/testcases/blob/master/aarch64/features.c) I
get:

  ID_AA64ISAR0_EL1    : 0x0000000000011120

  REVIDR_EL1          : 0x0000000000000000

However in the gdb output we see:

So why the discrepancies?

You could call arm_gen_dynamic_xml() direct when calling the register function
to save the intermediate n.

I get the same value in x1 (= 0x1124) and x2 (= 0x10305106) when I execute 
the following instructions on the guest:
  MRS x1, ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1
  MRS x2, ID_AA64DFR0_EL1
So, I think that there is no problem on how GDB is reading these registers!

>  ID_PFR0                    0x131	305   <-name and value?
This is not ID_AA64PFR0_EL1 - the ID_AA64PFR0_EL1 is not registered in our
dynamic XML as it has "ARM_CP_NO_RAW" type.
So should we add some modifications to handle this special case?

Best regards,
Abdallah

Alex's test program looks like a Linux userspace one -- in
which case it will be reading whatever faked-up values the
guest kernel is providing, rather than directly accessing
the registers (since they're not EL0-readable in hardware).
That may be the cause of the discrepancies.

(As an aside, we probably need to add support for userspace
accessing of ID regs to our linux-user code at some point.)

Hmm, this is an interesting case. I'm not entirely sure
this register absolutely needs to be NO_RAW. Deciding
whether we could drop the NO_RAW requires more thought than
I have time for right now, though.

In any case, it's quite plausible we may have registers
which we want to be not migrated (so NO_RAW) but which we
do want to allow the gdb stub to read (and perhaps write).
I think that handling those special cases with a .gdbreadfn
and .gdbwritefn as and when we need to would be the best
approach.

For the moment, this patchset is intended to be a "reasonable
effort" reflection of the system registers into the gdbstub,
so I don't think we need to do that now. If users have
genuine need to read particular registers we can add the
special casing code then.

thanks

This is strndup, not strdup. p is not a NUL-terminated string,
so we're creating one to hand to the hook function rather than
requiring it to deal with a non-terminated string.
