Christina Schimpe 6ef3896cfe gdb, gdbserver: Use xstate_bv for target description creation on x86.
The XSAVE function set is organized in state components, which are a set of
registers or parts of registers.  So-called XSAVE-supported features are
organized using state-component bitmaps, each bit corresponding to a
single state component.

The Intel Software Developer's Manual uses the term xstate_bv for a
state-component bitmap, which is defined as XCR0 | IA32_XSS.  The control
register XCR0 only contains a state-component bitmap that specifies user state
components, while IA32_XSS contains a state-component bitmap that specifies
supervisor state components.

Until now, XCR0 is used as input for target description creation in GDB.
However, a following patch will add userspace support for the CET shadow
stack feature by Intel.  The CET state is configured in IA32_XSS and consists
of 2 state components:
- State component 11 used for the 2 MSRs controlling user-mode
  functionality for CET (CET_U state)
- State component 12 used for the 3 MSRs containing shadow-stack pointers
  for privilege levels 0-2 (CET_S state).

Reading the CET shadow stack pointer register on linux requires a separate
ptrace call using NT_X86_SHSTK.  To pass the CET shadow stack enablement
state we would like to pass the xstate_bv value instead of xcr0 for target
description creation.  To prepare for that, we rename the xcr0 mask
values for target description creation to xstate_bv.  However, this
patch doesn't add any functional changes in GDB.

Future states specified in IA32_XSS such as CET will create a combined
xstate_bv_mask including xcr0 register value and its corresponding bit in
the state component bitmap.  This combined mask will then be used to create
the target descriptions.

/* A structure used to describe a single xstate feature bit that might, or
might not, be checked for when creating a target description for one of
i386, amd64, or x32.
The different CPU/ABI types check for different xstate features when
creating a target description.
We want to cache target descriptions, and this is currently done in
three separate caches, one each for i386, amd64, and x32. Additionally,
the caching we're discussing here is Linux only. Currently for Linux,
the only thing that has an impact on target description creation are
the supported features in xsave which are modelled by a xstate_bv
value, which has the same format than the state component bitmap.
In order to ensure the cache functions correctly we need to filter only
those xstate_bv feature bits that are relevant, we can then cache
target descriptions based on the relevant feature bits. Two xstate_bv
values might be different, but have the same relevant feature bits. In
this case we would expect the two xstate_bv values to map to the same
cache entry. */
