Hi,

Per Daniel's review feedback, this v2 series focuses only on the Sdext
implementation in RISC-V QEMU.

It is based on RISC-V Debug Specification 1.0:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-debug-spec/releases/tag/1.0

It introduces the sdext/sdtrig config bits, DCSR/DPC/DSCRATCH state,
Debug Mode enter/leave helpers, DRET, EBREAK entry, single-step, and
trigger action=debug mode.

To reduce review load, this series focuses on the Sdext features first.
The Debug Module (DM) and related flows will follow in a later series.

Changes in v2:
- Drop the RHCT expected AML update from this series.
- Replace the split sdext/sdtrig config bits patch with deprecating the
  'debug' CPU property.
- Rebase and update patch subjects to target/riscv prefix.

Changes in v1:
- Debug Mode entry/exit updates DCSR/DPC and restores execution via DRET.
- EBREAK honors DCSR ebreak bits and enters Debug Mode when enabled.
- Single-step uses DCSR.STEP with a TB flag and a helper at TB exit.
  It references Max Chou's patch "target/riscv: Use the tb->cs_bqse as
  the extend tb flags.":
  https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/[email protected]/
- Sdtrig supports action=debug mode for mcontrol/mcontrol6 and reports
  inst-count triggers in tinfo.

Differences vs Debug Spec (known gaps):
- No Debug Module (no DMI, dmcontrol/dmstatus, haltreq/resumereq).
- No debug ROM, program buffer, abstract commands, or SBA.
- Resume is modeled by leaving Debug Mode at cpu_exec_enter.
- Step/exception ordering is simplified: if the stepped instruction
  traps, the normal exception is taken and Debug Mode is not forced.
- Several DCSR fields are not fully modeled (stopcount/stoptime, etc).

Roadmap (next stage, DM focus):
1) Add a DM core with DMI access and hart state tracking.
2) Implement halt/resume handshake and move Debug Mode transitions
   under DM control.
3) Add debug ROM, program buffer, and abstract commands for GPR/CSR
   and memory access.
4) Add SBA if required by tooling.
5) Tighten ordering rules for step/exception/trigger priorities.


Thanks,
Chao
