    [arm64/sim] Add a 'sim' gdb command · 1f72df06
    Leszek Swirski authored
    Extract out the command processing from Simulator::Debug(), and expose
    it to gdb as a new 'sim' command. Example usage:
    
        (gdb) sim p x15
        (gdb) sim stack
    
    The sim command will execute that one command, and will return to gdb.
    
    For a list of all commands, you can call
    
        (gdb) sim help
    
    Note that sim won't resume simulator execution until gdb continues
    execution; for example, `sim next` will set a breakpoint on the next
    instruction, and will return to gdb. The user then has to continue
    execution in gdb, at which point the simulator will break. The user can
    then re-enter gdb with the gdb command. This will look like this:
    
        (gdb) sim next
        (gdb) continue
        ...
        sim> gdb
        (gdb) ...
