Re: [PATCH][CRISv32] Add support for threaded debugging

This part looks OK, though it did raise some eyebrows to have
GNU/Linux-specific code in cris-tdep.c, rather than in a cris-linux-tdep.c

I don't really see the need for it. It doesn't seem like it would be a
huge effort (essentially the call to
set_gdbarch_fetch_tls_load_module_address and also
set_solib_svr4_fetch_link_map_offsets would be put in cris-linux-tdep.c),
on the other hand I can't really test that it works as expected,

It's mostly about code/design/maintenance sanity.  I won't really mind if the
split isn't done, but note how the fact that there's a Linux port here
is being missed often in regular maintenance (because people will look
for *linux-tdep.*) files.  cris-tdep.c doesn't call linux_init_abi anywhere
AFAICT, for example, so the cris port lost the adjustment between v1
and v2 of the gdbarch_gdb_signal_{to,from}_target
patches, just a few weeks back:

http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-07/msg00002.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-07/msg00651.html

Probably other across-the-board changes have been missed.

That's a good point. I'll see if I find some time to make a rudimentary split.

Regarding the specific case above, it's a bit odd though that the CRIS port was included in the first patch set but not the second, considering they were supplied by the same person. Still, it still makes your point.
