[Ada 3/6] Add multiple-CPU support in ravenscar-thread.c


This patch reworks the ravenscar-thread layer to remove the
assumption that the target only has 1 CPU. In particular,
when connected to a QEMU target over the remote protocol,
QEMU reports each CPU as one thread. This patch adapts
the ravenscar-thread layer to this, and adds a large comment
explaining the general design of this unit.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * ada-lang.h (ada_get_task_info_from_ptid): Add declaration.
        * ada-tasks.c (ada_get_task_info_from_ptid): New function.
        * ravenscar-thread.c: Add into comment.
        (base_magic_null_ptid): Delete.
        (base_ptid): Change documentation.
        (ravenscar_active_task): Renames ravenscar_running_thread.
        All callers updated throughout.
        (is_ravenscar_task, ravenscar_get_thread_base_cpu): New function.
        (ravenscar_task_is_currently_active): Likewise.
        (get_base_thread_from_ravenscar_task): Ditto.
        (ravenscar_update_inferior_ptid): Adjust to handle multiple CPUs.
        (ravenscar_runtime_initialized): Likewise.
        (get_running_thread_id): Add new parameter "cpu".  Adjust
        implementation to handle this new parameter.
        (ravenscar_fetch_registers): Small adjustment to use
        is_ravenscar_task and ravenscar_task_is_currently_active in
        order to decide whether to use the target beneath or this
        module's arch_ops.
        (ravenscar_store_registers, ravenscar_prepare_to_store): Likewise.
        (ravenscar_stopped_by_sw_breakpoint): Use
        get_base_thread_from_ravenscar_task to get the underlying
        thread, rather than using base_ptid.
        (ravenscar_stopped_by_hw_breakpoint, ravenscar_stopped_by_watchpoint)
        (ravenscar_stopped_data_address, ravenscar_core_of_thread):
        Likewise.
        (ravenscar_inferior_created): Do not set base_magic_null_ptid.

+/* This module provides support for "Ravenscar" tasks (Ada) when
+   debugging on bare-metal targets.
+
+   The typical situation is when debugging a bare-metal target over
+   the remote protocol. In that situation, the system does not know
+   about high-level comcepts such as threads, only about some code
+   running on one or more CPUs. And since the remote protocol does not
+   provide any handling for CPUs, the de facto standard for handling
+   them is to have one thread per CPU, where the thread's ptid has
+   its lwp field set to the CPU number (eg: 1 for the first CPU,
+   2 for the second one, etc).  This module will make that assumption.
+
+   This module then creates and maintains the list of threads based
+   on the list of Ada tasks, with one thread per Ada tasks. The convention
+   is that threads corresponding to the CPUs (see assumption above)
+   have a ptid_t of the form (PID, LWP, 0), which threads corresponding
+   to our Ada tasks have a ptid_t of the form (PID, 0, TID) where TID
+   is the Ada task's ID as extracted from Ada runtime information.
+
+   Switching to a given Ada tasks (or its underlying thread) is performed
+   by fetching the registers of that tasks from the memory area where
+   the registers were saved.  For any of the other operations, the
+   operation is performed by first finding the CPU on which the task
+   is running, switching to its corresponding ptid, and then performing
+   the operation on that ptid using the target beneath us.  */
