Semihosting enables code running on an ARM target to use the
I/O facilities on the host computer. The target application must
be linked against a library that forwards operation requests by
using the SVC instruction that is trapped at the Supervisor Call
vector by the debugger. The "hosted" library version provided
with CodeSourcery's Sourcery G++ Lite for ARM EABI is one example.
This is currently available for ARM9 processors, but any ARM
variant should be able to support this with little additional work.
Tested using binaries compiled with Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q1-161
and ARM RVCT 3.0.

routine, and documents both how targets should implement it
and how config scripts should use it. Core-specific updates
are needed to make this work.

Remove two commands that were documented as "debug commands"
and where "you probably don't want to use this". We never
intended to support them, and at least one problem report
boiled down to using this when it shouldn't have been used.
Update the docs on the existing register commands to talk a
bit more about register access and cache behavior. (Those
debug commands existed largely to *bypass* the cache.) And
fix some minor doc goofs that snuck in with recent changes,
renaming "armv4_5" as "arm" and "arm9tdmi" as "arm9".

Rename the "armv4_5" command prefix to straight "arm" so it makes
more sense for newer cores. Add a simple compatibility script.
Make sure all the commands give the same "not an ARM" diagnostic
message (and fail properly) when called against non-ARM targets.

Add the 'nand verify' command to perform a dump and fake-write
simultaneously, checking the read bits against those generated by the
write process. Appropriate user documentation for this command has
been added to the user guide as well.
The algorithm presently makes a relatively naive comparison. Some chips
that use ECC may not verify correctly using this implementation, but the
new documentation provides details about this limitation.
This documentation update provides an introduction to the command
handling facilities provided by command.[ch]. A primer walks the user
through the elements of a pointedly pedantic module: src/hello.c.
A summary of the API is provided in the OpenOCD Architecture section.
ARM11 and newer cores include updated ETM modules. Recognize
their version codes and some key config differences. Sanity
checked on an OMAP2, with an ETM11RV r0p1 (ETMv3.1).
This still handles only scan chain 6, with at most 128 registers.
Newer cores (mostly, Cortex) will need to use the DAP instead.
Note that the newer ETM modules don't quite fit the quirky config
model of the older ones ... having more port widths is easy, but
the modes aren't the same. That still needs to change.
Fix a curious bug ... how did the register cache NOT get saved??

Start switching MMU handling over to a more sensible scheme.
Having an mmu() method enables MMU-aware behaviors. Not having
one kicks in simpler ones, with no distinction between virtual
and physical addresses.
Currently only a handful of targets have methods to read/write
physical memory: just arm720, arm920, and arm926. They should
all initialize OK now, but the arm*20 parts don't do the "extra"
stuff arm926 does (which should arguably be target-generic).
Also simplify how target_init() loops over all targets by making
it be a normal "for" loop, instead of scattering its three parts
to the four winds.

It's been about a year since these were deprecated and, in most
cases, removed. There's no point in carrying that documentation,
or backwards compatibility for "jtag_device" and "jtag_speed",
around forever. (Or a few remnants of obsolete code...)
Removed a few obsolete uses of "jtag_speed":
- The Calao stuff hasn't worked since July 2008. (Those Atmel
targets need to work with a 32KHz core clock after reset until
board-specific init-reset code sets up the PLL and enables a
faster JTAg clock.)
- Parport speed controls don't actually work (tops out at about
1 MHz on typical HW).
- In general, speed controls need to live in board.cfg files (or
sometimes target.cfg files), not interface.cfg ...

The semantics of "-work-area-virt 0" (or phys) changed with
the patch to require specifying physical or virtrual work
area addresses. Specifying zero was previously a NOP. Now
it means that address zero is valid.
This patch addresses three related issues:
- MMU-less processors should never specify work-area-virt;
remove those specifications. Such processors include
ARM7TDMI, Cortex-M3, and ARM966.
- MMU-equipped processors *can* specify work-area-virt...
but zero won't be appropriate, except in mischievous
contexts (which hide null pointer exceptions).
Remove those specs from those processors too. If any of
those mappings is valid, someone will need to submit a
patch adding it ... along with a comment saying what OS
provides the mapping, and in which context. Example,
say "works with Linux 2.6.30+, in kernel mode". (Note
that ARM Linux doesn't map kernel memory to zero ...)
- Clarify docs on that "-virt" and other work area stuff.
Seems to me work-area-virt is quite problematic; not every
operating system provides such static mappings; if they do,
they're not in every MMU context...

We currently do something unusual: version codes in config.in get
updated after the release, which means that "git describe" won't
match up to development version labels. Comment that trouble spot.
We can fix this by switching away from the major/minor/micro type
release numbering, as various other projects have done. The major
numbers basically don't tend to change, and doing a good job with
micro versions is so annoying that they rarely change either.
Contrast releases to git snapshot tarballs. Mention that
releases have some quality-improvement focus, with special
non-"dev" version IDs. Explain more about version IDs,
using "openocd -v" to see them, etc;
Make release milestone info be less specific about timing,
and presume we have both a merge window and an RC stage.
Rework the release process information to match reality a
bit more closely. Reference the version.sh script (in one
place the wrong script was referenced). Bugfix branches
get special treatment, while non-bugfix releases are more
or less what *defines* being the mainline branch.

Update documentation to reflect GIT methodology. Rewrite release.sh
script to use appropriate process. With this update, tools/release.sh
can be used for producing private release tags on local branches.
The documentation still needs work, but their use for v0.3.x should
help rectify the deficiences.
Bit 5 shouldn't be used. Remove all support for modifying it.
Matches the exception vector table, of course ... more than one
bootloader uses that non-vector to help distinguish valid boot
images from random garbage in flash.
The register names are perversely not documented as zero-indexed,
so rename them to match that convention. Also switch to lowercase
suffixes and infix numbering, matching ETB and EmbeddedICE usage.
Update docs to be a bit more accurate, especially regarding what
the "trigger" event can cause; and to split the issues into a few
more paragraphs, for clarity.
Make "configure" helptext point out that "oocd_trace" is prototype
hardware, not anything "real".

XSVF improvements:
- Layer parts of XSVF directly over SVF, calling svf_add_statemove()
instead of expecting jtag_add_statemove() to conform to the SVF/XSVF
requirements (which it doesn't).
This should improve XSTATE handling a lot; it removes most users of
jtag_add_statemove(), and the comments about how it should really do
what svf_add_statemove() does.
- Update XSTATE logic to be a closer match to the XSVF spec. The main
open issue here is (still) that this implementation doesn't know how
to build and submit paths from single-state transitions ... but now
it will report that error case.
- Update the User's Guide to mention the two utility scripts for
working with XSVF, and to mention the five extension opcodes.
Handling of state transition paths is, overall, still a mess. I think
they should all be specified as paths not unlike SVF uses, and compiled
to the bitstrings later ... so that we can actually make sense of the
paths. (And see the extra clocks, detours through RUN, etc.)

This makes the documentation a closer match to "help" output:
- "pathmove" somehow was not documented in the User's Guide
- "jtag_nsrst_assert_width" and "jtag_ntrst_assert_width"
are new; both needed descriptions.
- Removed two undocumented and fairly useless script mechanisms:
* production/production_info/production_test ... using it,
requires replacing everything; so having it adds no value.
* cpu ... way out of date; hopeless to keep that current
Note that anyone using that "production" stuff already defines
their own procedures, and can keep using them with no change.
