Implement catch syscall group
Implement support to add catchpoints for a group of related syscalls using the syntax: (gdb) catch syscall group:<group> or (gdb) catch syscall g:<group> Several groups are predefined in the xml files for all architectures supported by GDB over Linux. They are based on the groups defined by strace. gdb/ * xml-syscall.c (get_syscalls_by_group): New. (get_syscall_group_names): New. (struct syscall_group_desc): New structure to store group data. (struct syscalls_info): Include field to store the group list. (sysinfo_free_syscall_group_desc): New. (free_syscalls_info): Free group list. (syscall_group_create_syscall_group_desc): New. (syscall_group_add_syscall): New. (syscall_create_syscall_desc): Add syscall to its groups. (syscall_start_syscall): Load group attribute. (syscall_group_get_group_by_name): New. (xml_list_syscalls_by_group): New. (xml_list_of_groups): New. * xml-syscall.h (get_syscalls_by_group): Export function to retrieve a list of syscalls filtered by the group name. (get_syscall_group_names): Export function to retrieve the list of syscall groups. * break-catch-syscall.c (catch_syscall_split_args): Verify if argument is a syscall group and expand it to a list of syscalls when creating catchpoints. (catch_syscall_completer): Add word completion for system call groups. * configure.ac: Include dependency for xsltproc when building in maintainer-mode. * break-catch-syscall.c (_initialize_breakpoint): Update catch syscall command documentation. * NEWS: Include section about catching groups of syscalls. * configure: Regenerate. * data-directory/Makefile.in: Generate syscall xml when building in maintainer mode. * syscalls/gdb-syscalls.dtd: Include group attribute to the syscall element. * syscalls/apply-defaults.xsl: New. * syscalls/linux-defaults.xml.in: New. * syscalls/aarch64-linux.xml: Rename to aarch64-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/amd64-linux.xml: Rename to amd64-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/arm-linux.xml: Rename to arm-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/bfin-linux.xml: Rename to bfin-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/i386-linux.xml: Rename to i386-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/mips-n32-linux.xml: Rename to mips-n32-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/mips-n64-linux.xml: Rename to mips-n64-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/mips-o32-linux.xml: Rename to mips-o32-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/ppc-linux.xml: Rename to ppc-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/ppc64-linux.xml: Rename to ppc64-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/s390-linux.xml: Rename to s390-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/s390x-linux.xml: Rename to s390x-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/sparc-linux.xml: Rename to sparc-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/sparc64-linux.xml: Rename to sparc64-linux.xml.in. * syscalls/aarch64-linux.xml: Regenerate. * syscalls/amd64-linux.xml: Regenerate. * syscalls/arm-linux.xml: Regenerate. * syscalls/i386-linux.xml: Regenerate. * syscalls/mips-n32-linux.xml: Regenerate. * syscalls/mips-n64-linux.xml: Regenerate. * syscalls/mips-o32-linux.xml: Regenerate. * syscalls/ppc-linux.xml: Regenerate. * syscalls/ppc64-linux.xml: Regenerate. * syscalls/s390-linux.xml: Regenerate. * syscalls/s390x-linux.xml: Regenerate. * syscalls/sparc-linux.xml: Regenerate. * syscalls/sparc64-linux.xml: Regenerate. gdb/testsuite/ * gdb.base/catch-syscall.exp (do_syscall_tests): Add call to test_catch_syscall_group.
