[PATCH 2/5] Make breakpoint and breakpoint_len local variables in GDBServer.


This patch is in preparation for software breakpoints on ARM linux.

It refactors the breakpoint and breakpoint_len global variables to be local
so that multiple types of breakpoints can be used for an arch.

One important implementation detail is the introduction of the pcfull field
in struct raw_breakpoint.

In order to be able to reinsert a breakpoint we need to remember what were the
flags encoded in the PC, however since functions that compare the program pc
to the breakpoint pc expect an unencoded memory address, we can't put the
encoded value directly in the pc field.

So this patch introduces the pcfull field that contains the flags encoded
in the pc so that we can properly reinsert a breakpoint that has its type
information encoded in the pc.  pcfull shall only be used when
inserting/removing/reinserting a breakpoint, all other breakpoint->pc
references can remain the same.

Note this is for software breakpoints only, when using hardware breakpoints
then pcfull is not set or used.

No regressions on Ubuntu 14.04 on ARMv7 and x86.
With gdbserver-{native,extended} / { -marm -mthumb }

gdbserver/ChangeLog:
	* linux-low.c (initialize_low): Remove
        breakpoint_data initialization.
	* mem-break.c (struct raw_breakpoint): Add pcfull.
	(insert_memory_breakpoint): Call breakpoint_from_pc.
	(remove_memory_breakpoint): Likewise.
	(set_raw_breakpoint_at): Likewise.
	(set_breakpoint_at): Set default breakpoint size to 0.
	(set_breakpoint_data): Remove.
	(validate_inserted_breakpoint): Call breakpoint_from_pc.
	(check_mem_read): Call breakpoint_from_pc.
	(check_mem_write): Call breakpoint_from_pc.
	(clone_one_breakpoint): Copy pcfull field.
