Use register_commands() with command registration array.
---
This module was broken by previous changes, but no one has complained.
Are there still users for this modules?
Use the new command registration chaining capabilities to eliminate
the foo_register_commands helper, folding its remaining command
handler setup into the hello_command_handlers registration array.
Adds the ability to chain registration structures. Modules can define a
command with the 'chain' and 'num_chain' fields defined in their
registration table, and the register_commands() function will initialize
these commands. If the registration record creates a new command, then
the chained commands are created under it; otherwise, they are created
in the same context as the other commands (i.e. the parent argument).
Use register_commands() to register low-level command handlers,
adding a builtin_command_handlers declaration that is easy to understand.
Splits help and usage information into their appropriate fields.
Adds the usage command, to display usage information for commands.
The output for this command will remain erronenously empty until
commands are updated to use these new coventions.
The register_commands API takes multiple commands in one call, allowing
modules to declare and pass a much simpler (and more explicit) array of
command_registration records.
Add a structure to encapsulate command registration information, rather
than passing them all as parameters. Enables further API changes that
require additional required or optional parameters.
Updates the register_command API and COMMAND_REGISTER macro to use it,
along with their documentation.
Provides a migration path for the widely used register_command API,
which needs to be updated to provide new functionality.
This macro allows the API to change without having to update all of its
callers at the same time.
There was a lot of needless handshaking overhead in the current
Cortex-A8 DCC/ITR operations, since the status read by each step
was discarded rather than letting the next step know it.
This shrinks the handshaking by: (a) passing status along from
previous steps, avoiding re-fetching; which enables the big win
(b) relying on a useful invariant: that the DSCR_INSTR_COMP bit
is set after every call to a DPM method.
A "reg sp_usr" call previously took 17 flushes; now it takes just 9.
This visibly speeds common operations like entry to debug state and
stepping, as well as "arm reg" and so on.

This replaces two versions of register access functions. One
was commented out, and seemed to have uncertain intent. The
other was fairly new, and helped motivate the DPM framework
once I observed that the ARM11 was doing the very same ops.

This implements the DPM interface for Cortex-A8 cores. It
also adds a synchronization operation to the DPM framework,
which is needed by the Cortex-A8 after CPSR writes.

Make various functions static, add some comments, report
vector catch as a flavor of DBG_REASON_BREAKPOINT, get
rid of needless/undesirable ARMV4_5_CORE_REG_MODE, etc.

The previous implementation was unnecessarily complex. Get rid of the loops,
let vsnprintf() tell us directly how much storage we need and allocate that. A
second pass writes the actual string. Also add a va_end() that was missing.
This should be much faster for large strings and less wasteful for small ones.
A quirk that has been retained is that some callers patch in a newline at the
end of the returned string and depend on alloc_vprintf to allocate at least
one byte extra.

Rewrite rlink_init routine to use jtag_usb_open helper. Eliminates
some spurious calls to exit().
Wraps a tremendously long line of comment to fit 80 columns too.
Begins to consolidate code used by several USB JTAG interfaces.
This first patch provides the required build system changes and
a common jtag_usb_open routine, which will replace the guts for
probing the busses and devices for possible VID/PID matches.
The following patches convert each driver to use it.
This finishes the basic switchover to the new register code,
for everything except the debug registers. (And maybe we
shouldn't have a cache for *those* which works this way...)
The context save/restore code now uses the new code, but
it's in a slightly different sequence. That should be fine
since the R0/PC/CPSR stuff is all that really matters (and
if we can update those, we can update the rest).
Now there's no longer a way any code can be confused about
which copy of "r1" (etc) to use.

As with single stepping, the previous stuff was needed because
the ARM11 code wasn't using the standard ARM base type and
register access ... but now those mechanisms work, so we can
switch out that special-purpose glue, in favor of the more
thoroughly tested/capable "standard" code.
Fixes a bug in the resume() implementation: it wasn't handling
two of its arguments correctly, preventing the "flash erase_check"
algorithm from working. (This code needs a *subsequent* update
for correct register handling, though... removing the confusion
about which "r2", for example, to use.)
This should resolve some "FIXME" comments too, for Thumb and
processor mode support. It also gets rid of a nasty exit()
call; servers should only have *clean* shutdown paths.

The previous stuff was needed because the ARM11 code wasn't using
the standard ARM base type and register access ... but now those
mechanisms work, so we can switch out that special-purpose glue.
This should resolve all the "FIXME -- handle Thumb single stepping"
comments too, and properly handle the processor's mode. (Modulo
the issue that this code doesn't yet handle two-byte breakpoints.)
Clarify the comments about the the hardware single stepping. When
we eventually share breakpoint code with Cortex-A8, we can just make
that be the default on cores which support it. We may still want an
override command, not just to facilitate testing but to cope with
"instruction address mismatch" not quite being true single-step.

This provides "standard" ARM register support -- with twenty or
more shadow registers on top of what this code now handles, but
properly associated with the various core modes -- parallel to
the current register code. That is, the current code is stilil
managing the "current" registers; the new code shadows them.
You can see all the registers with "arm reg", modify the shadows
like "r8_fiq" or "sp_abt" with "reg", and see them get properly
written back when you step. (Just don't do that with any of the
registers managed by the "old" code ...)
It also switches to using more standard code, relying on those
standard registers, in two places: (a) the poll status display,
which now shows core state (ARM/Thumb/...) and mode (Supervisor,
IRQ, etc); and (b) GDB register access.
So it's not a full migration, there are warts -- every place that
touches the old register cache is a potential bug -- but it's a
small more-or-less-comprehensible step that's even somewhat useful.
Later patches complete the migration.

This was a private mechanism to snapshot registers before leaving
debug state, and then on reentry to optionally display what changed.
It was coupled to the private register cache, which won't be sticking
around in that form for much longer. Remove (instead of teaching
it how to handle *all* the registers).
(The idea is interesting, but we ought to be able to implement
this in a generic way. Ideally through Tcl scripts that can
automatically be invoked following debug entry...)

This is a very thin layer over some of the current ARM11
debug TAP utilities. The layer isn't yet hooked up.

First version of interface for sharing code between ARMv6 and ARMv7a
debug modules ... now the architecture includes debug support. (Not
the same as for the trimmed-down v7m or v6m though!) This is a first
version of an interface that will let the ARM11 and Cortex-A8 support
share code, features, and bugfixes. Based on existing code from both
of those cores.
The ARM v7-AR architecture specification calls this commonality the
"Debug Programmer's Model (DPM)", which seemed to be an appropriate
acronym -- a TLA even! -- for use in our code. Made it so. :)
The initial scope of this just supports register access, and is geared
towards supporting top level "struct arm" mechanisms. Later, things
like breakpoint and watchpoint support should be included.

Add $HOME/.openocd as the first default script search directory, allowing
the user to override the standard scripts.
Update the user guide with information on where OpenOCD expects to find
configuration files and scripts. Also fixed some minor formatting issues.
Add entry to NEWS as well.
