While reviewing the Linux and FreeBSD core dumping code within GDB for
another patch series, I noticed that the code that collects the
registers for each thread and writes these into ELF note format is
basically identical between Linux and FreeBSD.
This commit merges this code and moves it into the gcore.c file,
which seemed like the right place for generic writing a core file
code.
The function find_signalled_thread is moved from linux-tdep.c despite
not being shared. A later commit will make use of this function.
There are a couple of minor changes to the FreeBSD target after this
commit, but I believe that these are changes for the better:
(1) For FreeBSD we always used to record the thread-id in the core file by
using ptid_t.lwp (). In contrast the Linux code did this:
/* For remote targets the LWP may not be available, so use the TID. */
long lwp = ptid.lwp ();
if (lwp == 0)
lwp = ptid.tid ();
Both target now do this:
/* The LWP is often not available for bare metal target, in which case
use the tid instead. */
if (ptid.lwp_p ())
lwp = ptid.lwp ();
else
lwp = ptid.tid ();
Which is equivalent for Linux, but is a change for FreeBSD. I think
that all this means is that in some cases where GDB might have
previously recorded a thread-id of 0 for each thread, we might now get
something more useful.
(2) When collecting the registers for Linux we collected into a zero
initialised buffer. By contrast on FreeBSD the buffer is left
uninitialised. In the new code the buffer is always zero initialised.
I suspect once the registers are copied into the buffer there's
probably no gaps left so this makes no difference, but if it does then
using zeros rather than random bits of GDB's memory is probably a good
thing.
Otherwise, there should be no other user visible changes after this
commit.
Tested this on x86-64/GNU-Linux and x86-64/FreeBSD-12.2 with no
regressions.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
