gdb/arm: Track msp and psp
For Arm Cortex-M33 with security extensions, there are 4 different
stack pointers (msp_s, msp_ns, psp_s, psp_ns). To be compatible
with earlier Cortex-M derivates, the msp and psp registers are
aliases for one of the 4 real stack pointer registers.
These are the combinations that exist:
sp -> msp -> msp_s
sp -> msp -> msp_ns
sp -> psp -> psp_s
sp -> psp -> psp_ns
This means that when the GDB client is to show the value of "msp",
the value should always be equal to either "msp_s" or "msp_ns".
Same goes for "psp".
To add a bit more context; GDB does not really use the register msp
(or psp) internally, but they are part of the set of registers which
are provided by the target.xml file. As a result, they will be part
of the set of registers printed by the "info r" command.
Without this particular patch, GDB will hit the assert in the bottom
of arm_cache_get_sp_register function.
