target/riscv: Generate the GDB XML file for CSR registers dynamically
At present QEMU RISC-V uses a hardcoded XML to report the feature
"org.gnu.gdb.riscv.csr" [1]. There are two major issues with the
approach being used currently:
- The XML does not specify the "regnum" field of a CSR entry, hence
consecutive numbers are used by the remote GDB client to access
CSRs. In QEMU we have to maintain a map table to convert the GDB
number to the hardware number which is error prone.
- The XML contains some CSRs that QEMU does not implement at all,
which causes an "E14" response sent to remote GDB client.
Change to generate the CSR register list dynamically, based on the
availability presented in the CSR function table. This new approach
will reflect a correct list of CSRs that QEMU actually implements.
