GDBserver: Fix "Cond. jump or move depends on uninit value" in x87 code
Running gdbserver under Valgrind I get:

The problem is a type/width mismatch in code like this, in
gdbserver/i387-fp.c:
/* Some registers are 16-bit. */
collect_register_by_name (regcache, "fctrl", &val);
fp->fctrl = val;
In the above code:
#1 - 'val' is a 64-bit unsigned long.
#2 - "fctrl" is 32-bit in the register cache, thus half of 'val' is
left uninitialized by collect_register_by_name, which works with
an untyped raw buffer output (i.e., void*).
#3 - fp->fctrl is an unsigned short (16-bit). For some such
registers we're masking off the uninitialized bits with 0xffff,
but not in all cases.
We end up in such a fragile situation because
collect_registers_by_name works with an untyped output buffer pointer,
making it easy to pass a pointer to a variable of the wrong size.
Fix this by using regcache_raw_get_unsigned instead (actually a new
regcache_raw_get_unsigned_by_name wrapper), which always returns a
zero-extended ULONGEST register value. It ends up simplifying the
i387-tdep.c code a bit, even.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
2018-07-11 Pedro Alves <[email protected]>
* i387-fp.c (i387_cache_to_fsave, cache_to_fxsave)
(i387_cache_to_xsave): Use regcache_raw_get_unsigned_by_name
instead of collect_register_by_name.
* regcache.c (regcache_raw_get_unsigned_by_name): New.
* regcache.h (regcache_raw_get_unsigned_by_name): New.
