The $status, $badaddr, and $cause registers belong to the thread context, so KGDB can obtain their contents from pt_regs in each trap. However, the sequential number of these registers in the gdb register list is far from the general-purpose registers. If riscv port uses the existing method to report these three registers, many trivial registers with sequence numbers in the middle of them will also be packaged to the reply packets. To solve this problem, the riscv port wants to introduce the GDB target description mechanism to customize the reported register list. By the list, the KGDB can ignore the intermediate registers and just reports the general-purpose registers and these three system registers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
