d33501a51f record-btrace: add bts buffer size configuration option
Allow the size of the branch trace ring buffer to be defined by the
user.  The specified buffer size will be used when BTS tracing is
enabled for new threads.

The obtained buffer size may differ from the requested size.  The
actual buffer size for the current thread is shown in the "info record"
command.

Bigger buffers mean longer traces, but also longer processing time.

f4abbc1682 record btrace: add configuration struct
Add a struct to describe the branch trace configuration and use it for
enabling branch tracing.

The user will be able to set configuration fields for each tracing format
to be used for new threads.

The actual configuration that is active for a given thread will be shown
in the "info record" command.

At the moment, the configuration struct only contains a format field
that is set to the only available format.

The format is the only configuration option that can not be set via set
commands.  It is given as argument to the "record btrace" command when
starting recording.

ef0b411a11 Add max-completions parameter, and implement tab-completion limiting.
This commit adds a new exception, MAX_COMPLETIONS_REACHED_ERROR, to be
thrown whenever the completer has generated too many candidates to
be useful.  A new user-settable variable, "max_completions", is added
to control this behaviour.  A top-level completion limit is added to
complete_line_internal, as the final check to ensure the user never
sees too many completions.  An additional limit is added to
default_make_symbol_completion_list_break_on, to halt time-consuming
symbol table expansions.

253828f102 Sort threads for thread apply all
downstream Fedora request:
	Please make it easier to find the backtrace of the crashing thread
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1024504

Currently after loading a core file GDB prints:

Core was generated by `./threadcrash1'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
8       *(volatile int *)0=0;
(gdb) _

there is nowhere seen which of the threads had crashed.  In reality GDB always
numbers that thread as #1 and it is the current thread that time.  But after
dumping all the info into a file for later analysis it is no longer obvious.
'thread apply all bt' even puts the thread #1 to the _end_ of the output!!!

I find maybe as good enough and with no risk of UI change flamewar to just
sort the threads by their number.  Currently they are printed as they happen
in the internal GDB list which has no advantage.  Printing thread #1 as the
first one with assumed 'thread apply all bt' (after the core file is loaded)
should make the complaint resolved I guess.

On Thu, 15 Jan 2015 20:29:07 +0100, Doug Evans wrote:
No objection to sorting the list, but if thread #1 is the important one,
then a concern could be it'll have scrolled off the screen (such a
concern has been voiced in another thread in another context),
and if not lost (say it's in an emacs buffer) one would still have
to scroll back to see it.
So one *could* still want #1 to be last.
Do we want an option to choose the sort direction?

6a3ca06752 Temporarily revert symbol lookup cache.
clear_symtab_users calls breakpoint_re_set before
observer_notify_new_objfile(NULL), and thus symbol lookup
done during breakpoint_re_set will see a stale cache.

Presumably we just need to move the call to observer_notify_new_objfile(NULL)
to before breakpoint_re_set, but need to check for other such issues,
and 7.9 is scheduled to branch tomorrow.

bb2ec1b34e the "compile" command
This final patch adds the new "compile" command and subcommands, and
all the machinery needed to make it work.

A shared library supplied by gcc is used for all communications with
gcc.  Types and most aspects of symbols are provided directly by gdb
to the compiler using this library.

gdb provides some information about the user's code using plain text.
Macros are emitted this way, and DWARF location expressions (and
bounds for VLA) are compiled to C code.

This hybrid approach was taken because, on the one hand, it is better
to provide global declarations and such on demand; but on the other
hand, for local variables, translating DWARF location expressions to C
was much simpler than exporting a full compiler API to gdb -- the same
result, only easier to implement, understand, and debug.

In the ordinary mode, the user's expression is wrapped in a dummy
function.  After compilation, gdb inserts the resulting object code
into the inferior, then calls this function.

Access to local variables is provided by noting which registers are
used by location expressions, and passing a structure of register
values into the function.  Writes to registers are supported by
copying out these values after the function returns.

This approach was taken so that we could eventually implement other
more interesting features based on this same infrastructure; for
example, we're planning to investigate inferior-side breakpoint
conditions.

f10c5b19e0 Add add-auto-load-scripts-directory.
There is already "add-auto-load-safe-path" which works
like "set auto-load safe-path" but in append mode.

There was missing an append equivalent for "set auto-load scripts-directory".

ABRT has directory /var/cache/abrt-di/ as an alternative one
to /usr/lib/debug/ . Therefore ABRT needs to use -iex parameters to add this
/var/cache/abrt-di/ directory as a first-class debuginfo directory.
Using absolute "set auto-load scripts-directory" would hard-code the path
possibly overriding local system directory additions; besides it would not be
nice anyway.

e5f8a7cc2d stepi/nexti: skip signal handler if "handle nostop" signal arrives
I noticed that "si" behaves differently when a "handle nostop" signal
arrives while the step is in progress, depending on whether the
program was stopped at a breakpoint when "si" was entered.
Specifically, in case GDB needs to step off a breakpoint, the handler
is skipped and the program stops in the next "mainline" instruction.
Otherwise, the "si" stops in the first instruction of the signal
handler.

I was surprised the testsuite doesn't catch this difference.  Turns
out gdb.base/sigstep.exp covers a bunch of cases related to stepping
and signal handlers, but does not test stepi nor nexti, only
step/next/continue.

My first reaction was that stopping in the signal handler was the
correct thing to do, as it's where the next user-visible instruction
that is executed is.  I considered then "nexti" -- a signal handler
could be reasonably considered a subroutine call to step over, it'd
seem intuitive to me that "nexti" would skip it.

But then, I realized that signals that arrive while a plain/line
"step" is in progress _also_ have their handler skipped.  A user might
well be excused for being confused by this, given:

  (gdb) help step
  Step program until it reaches a different source line.

And the signal handler's sources will be in different source lines,
after all.

I think that having to explain that "stepi" steps into handlers, (and
that "nexti" wouldn't according to my reasoning above), while "step"
does not, is a sign of an awkward interface.

E.g., if a user truly is interested in stepping into signal handlers,
then it's odd that she has to either force the signal to "handle
stop", or recall to do "stepi" whenever such a signal might be
delivered.  For that use case, it'd seem nicer to me if "step" also
stepped into handlers.

This suggests to me that we either need a global "step-into-handlers"
setting, or perhaps better, make "handle pass/nopass stop/nostop
print/noprint" have have an additional axis - "handle
stepinto/nostepinto", so that the user could configure whether
handlers for specific signals should be stepped into.

In any case, I think it's simpler (and thus better) for all step
commands to behave the same.  This commit thus makes "si/ni" skip
handlers for "handle nostop" signals that arrive while the command was
already in progress, like step/next do.

To be clear, nothing changes if the program was stopped for a signal,
and the user enters a stepping command _then_ -- GDB still steps into
the handler.  The change concerns signals that don't cause a stop and
that arrive while the step is in progress.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

32a8097ba5 Delete Tru64 support
This commit does most of the mechanical removal.  IOW, the easy part.

procfs.c isn't touched beyond removing a couple obvious bits that are
guarded by a couple macros defined in config/alpha/nm-osf3.h.  Going
beyond that for procfs.c & co would be a harder excision that
potentially affects Solaris.

Some comments in the generic alpha code ABIs that may still be
relevant and I wouldn't know what to do with them.  That can always be
done on a separate pass, preferably by someone who can test on alpha.

A couple other spots have references to OSF/Tru64 and related files
being removed, but it felt like removing them would make things worse,
not better.  We can revisit those when we next need to touch that
code.

I didn't remove a reference to osf in testsuite/lib/future.exp, as I
believe that code is imported from DejaGNU.

Built and tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, with --enable-targets=all.

Tested that building for --target=alpha-osf3 on x86_64 Fedora 20
fails with:

a25a5a45ef Fix "breakpoint always-inserted off"; remove "breakpoint always-inserted auto"
By default, GDB removes all breakpoints from the target when the
target stops and the prompt is given back to the user.  This is useful
in case GDB crashes while the user is interacting, as otherwise,
there's a higher chance breakpoints would be left planted on the
target.

But, as long as any thread is running free, we need to make sure to
keep breakpoints inserted, lest a thread misses a breakpoint.  With
that in mind, in preparation for non-stop mode, we added a "breakpoint
always-inserted on" mode.  This traded off the extra crash protection
for never having threads miss breakpoints, and in addition is more
efficient if there's a ton of breakpoints to remove/insert at each
user command (e.g., at each "step").

When we added non-stop mode, and for a period, we required users to
manually set "always-inserted on" when they enabled non-stop mode, as
otherwise GDB removes all breakpoints from the target as soon as any
thread stops, which means the other threads still running will miss
breakpoints.  The test added by this patch exercises this.

That soon revealed a nuisance, and so later we added an extra
"breakpoint always-inserted auto" mode, that made GDB behave like
"always-inserted on" when non-stop was enabled, and "always-inserted
off" when non-stop was disabled.  "auto" was made the default at the
same time.

In hindsight, this "auto" setting was unnecessary, and not the ideal
solution.  Non-stop mode does depends on breakpoints always-inserted
mode, but only as long as any thread is running.  If no thread is
running, no breakpoint can be missed.  The same is true for all-stop
too.  E.g., if, in all-stop mode, and the user does:

 (gdb) c&
 (gdb) b foo

That breakpoint at "foo" should be inserted immediately, but it
currently isn't -- currently it'll end up inserted only if the target
happens to trip on some event, and is re-resumed, e.g., an internal
breakpoint triggers that doesn't cause a user-visible stop, and so we
end up in keep_going calling insert_breakpoints.  The test added by
this patch also covers this.

IOW, no matter whether in non-stop or all-stop, if the target fully
stops, we can remove breakpoints.  And no matter whether in all-stop
or non-stop, if any thread is running in the target, then we need
breakpoints to be immediately inserted.  And then, if the target has
global breakpoints, we need to keep breakpoints even when the target
is stopped.

So with that in mind, and aiming at reducing all-stop vs non-stop
differences for all-stop-on-stop-of-non-stop, this patch fixes
"breakpoint always-inserted off" to not remove breakpoints from the
target until it fully stops, and then removes the "auto" setting as
unnecessary.  I propose removing it straight away rather than keeping
it as an alias, unless someone complains they have scripts that need
it and that can't adjust.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

81219e5358 New command queue-signal.
If I want to change the signalled state of multiple threads
it's a bit cumbersome to do with the "signal" command.
What you really want is a way to set the signal state of the
desired threads and then just do "continue".

This patch adds a new command, queue-signal, to accomplish this.
Basically "signal N" == "queue-signal N" + "continue".
That's not precisely true in that "signal" can be used to inject
any signal, including signals set to "nopass"; whereas "queue-signal"
just queues the signal as if the thread stopped because of it.
"nopass" handling is done when the thread is resumed which
"queue-signal" doesn't do.

One could add extra complexity to allow queue-signal to be used to
deliver "nopass" signals like the "signal" command.  I have no current
need for it so in the interests of incremental complexity, I have
left such support out and just have the code flag an error if one
tries to queue a nopass signal.

3cecbbbef1 make "set debug target" take effect immediately
Right now, "set debug target" acts a bit strangely.

Most target APIs only notice that it has changed when the target stack
is changed in some way.  This is because many methods implement the
setting using the special debug target.  However, a few spots do
change their behavior immediately -- any place explicitly checking
"targetdebug".

Some of this peculiar behavior is documented.  However, I think that
it just isn't very useful for it to work this way.  So, this patch
changes "set debug target" to take effect immediately in all cases.
This is done by simply calling update_current_target when the setting
is changed.

This required one small change in the test suite.  Here a test was
expecting the current behavior.

Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.

705096250d Always pass signals to the right thread
Currently, GDB can pass a signal to the wrong thread in several
different but related scenarios.

E.g., if thread 1 stops for signal SIGFOO, the user switches to thread
2, and then issues "continue", SIGFOO is actually delivered to thread
2, not thread 1.  This obviously messes up programs that use
pthread_kill to send signals to specific threads.

This has been a known issue for a long while.  Back in 2008 when I
made stop_signal be per-thread (2020b7ab), I kept the behavior -- see
code in 'proceed' being removed -- wanting to come back to it later.
The time has finally come now.

The patch fixes this -- on resumption, intercepted signals are always
delivered to the thread that had intercepted them.

Another example: if thread 1 stops for a breakpoint, the user switches
to thread 2, and then issues "signal SIGFOO", SIGFOO is actually
delivered to thread 1, not thread 2, because 'proceed' first switches
to thread 1 to step over its breakpoint...  If the user deletes the
breakpoint before issuing "signal FOO", then the signal is delivered
to thread 2 (the current thread).

"signal SIGFOO" can be used for two things: inject a signal in the
program while the program/thread had stopped for none, bypassing
"handle nopass"; or changing/suppressing a signal the program had
stopped for.  These scenarios are really two faces of the same coin,
and GDB can't really guess what the user is trying to do.  GDB might
have intercepted signals in more than one thread even (see the new
signal-command-multiple-signals-pending.exp test).  At least in the
inject case, it's obviously clear to me that the user means to deliver
the signal to the currently selected thread, so best is to make the
command's behavior consistent and easy to explain.

Then, if the user is trying to suppress/change a signal the program
had stopped for instead of injecting a new signal, but, the user had
changed threads meanwhile, then she will be surprised that with:

  (gdb) continue
  Thread 1 stopped for signal SIGFOO.
  (gdb) thread 2
  (gdb) signal SIGBAR

... GDB actually delivers SIGFOO to thread 1, and SIGBAR to thread 2
(with scheduler-locking off, which is the default, because then
"signal" or any other resumption command resumes all threads).

So the patch makes GDB detect that, and ask for confirmation:

  (gdb) thread 1
  [Switching to thread 1 (Thread 10979)]
  (gdb) signal SIGUSR2
  Note:
    Thread 3 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR2, User defined signal 2.
    Thread 2 previously stopped with signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.
  Continuing thread 1 (the current thread) with specified signal will
  still deliver the signals noted above to their respective threads.
  Continue anyway? (y or n)

All these scenarios are covered by the new tests.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and gdbserver.

b67a2c6fd4 Associate dummy_frame with ptid
This patch is to add ptid into dummy_frame and extend frame_id to
dummy_frame_id (which has a ptid field).  With this change, GDB uses
dummy_frame_id (thread ptid and frame_id) to find the dummy frames.

Currently, dummy frames are looked up by frame_id, which isn't
accurate in non-stop or multi-process mode.  The test case
gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp shows the problem and this patch can
fix it.

Test dummy-frame-restore.exp makes two inferiors stop at
different functions, say, inferior 1 stops at f1 while inferior 2
stops at f2.  Set a breakpoint to a function, do the inferior call
in two inferiors, and GDB has two dummy frames of the same frame_id.
When the inferior call is finished, GDB will look up a dummy frame
from its stack/list and restore the inferior's regcache.  Two
inferiors are finished in different orders, the inferiors' states are
restored differently, which is wrong.  Running dummy-frame-restore.exp
under un-patched GDB, we'll get two fails:

FAIL: gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp: inf 2 first: after infcall: bt in inferior 2
FAIL: gdb.multi/dummy-frame-restore.exp: inf 2 first: after infcall: bt in inferior 1

With this patch applied, GDB will choose the correct dummy_frame to
restore for a given inferior, because ptid is considered when looking up
dummy frames.  Two fails above are fixed.

Regression tested on x86_64-linux, both native and gdbserver.

329ea57934 enable target async by default; separate MI and target notions of async
This finally makes background execution commands possible by default.

However, in order to do that, there's one last thing we need to do --
we need to separate the MI and target notions of "async".  Unlike the
CLI, where the user explicitly requests foreground vs background
execution in the execution command itself (c vs c&), MI chose to treat
"set target-async" specially -- setting it changes the default
behavior of execution commands.

So, we can't simply "set target-async" default to on, as that would
affect MI frontends.  Instead we have to make the setting MI-specific,
and teach MI about sync commands on top of an async target.

Because the "target" word in "set target-async" ends up as a potential
source of confusion, the patch adds a "set mi-async" option, and makes
"set target-async" a deprecated alias.

Rather than make the targets always async, this patch introduces a new
"maint set target-async" option so that the GDB developer can control
whether the target is async.  This makes it simpler to debug issues
arising only in the synchronous mode; important because sync mode
seems unlikely to go away.

Unlike in previous revisions, "set target-async" does not affect this
new maint parameter.  The rationale for this is that then one can
easily run the test suite in the "maint set target-async off" mode and
have tests that enable mi-async fail just like they fail on
non-async-capable targets.  This emulation is exactly the point of the
maint option.

I had asked Tom in a previous iteration to split the actual change of
the target async default to a separate patch, but it turns out that
that is quite awkward in this version of the patch, because with MI
async and target async decoupled (unlike in previous versions), if we
don't flip the default at the same time, then just "set target-async
on" alone never actually manages to do anything.  It's best to not
have that transitory state in the tree.

Given "set target-async on" now only has effect for MI, the patch goes
through the testsuite removing it from non-MI tests.  MI tests are
adjusted to use the new and less confusing "mi-async" spelling.

67b5c0c1a4 btrace: control memory access during replay
The btrace record target does not trace data.  We therefore do not allow
accessing read-write memory during replay.

In some cases, this might be useful to advanced users, though, who we assume
to know what they are doing.

Add a set|show command pair to turn this memory access restriction off.

6a3cb8e88a Allow making GDB not automatically connect to the native target.
Sometimes it's useful to be able to disable the automatic connection
to the native target.  E.g., sometimes GDB disconnects from the
extended-remote target I was debugging, without me noticing it, and
then I do "run".  That starts the program locally, and only after a
little head scratch session do I figure out the program is running
locally instead of remotely as intended.  Same thing with "attach",
"info os", etc.

With the patch, we now can have this instead:

 (gdb) set auto-connect-native-target off
 (gdb) target extended-remote :9999
 ...
 *gdb disconnects*
 (gdb) run
 Don't know how to run.  Try "help target".

To still be able to connect to the native target with
auto-connect-native-target set to off, I've made "target native" work
instead of erroring out as today.

Before:

 (gdb) target native
 Use the "run" command to start a native process.

After:

 (gdb) target native
 Done.  Use the "run" command to start a process.
 (gdb) maint print target-stack
 The current target stack is:
   - native (Native process)
   - exec (Local exec file)
   - None (None)
 (gdb) run
 Starting program: ./a.out
 ...

I've also wanted this for the testsuite, when running against the
native-extended-gdbserver.exp board (runs against gdbserver in
extended-remote mode).  With a non-native-target board, it's always a
bug to launch a program with the native target.  Turns out we still
have one such case this patch catches:

 (gdb) break main
 Breakpoint 1 at 0x4009e5: file ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coremaker.c, line 138.
 (gdb) run
 Don't know how to run.  Try "help target".
 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/corefile.exp: run: with core

On the patch itself, probably the least obvious bit is the need to go
through all targets, and move the unpush_target call to after the
generic_mourn_inferior call instead of before.  This is what
inf-ptrace.c does too, ever since multi-process support was added.
The reason inf-ptrace.c does things in that order is that in the
current multi-process/single-target model, we shouldn't unpush the
target if there are still other live inferiors being debugged.  The
check for that is "have_inferiors ()" (a misnomer nowadays...), which
does:

 have_inferiors (void)
 {
   for (inf = inferior_list; inf; inf = inf->next)
     if (inf->pid != 0)
       return 1;

It's generic_mourn_inferior that ends up clearing inf->pid, so we need
to call it before the have_inferiors check.  To make all native
targets behave the same WRT to explicit "target native", I've added an
inf_child_maybe_unpush_target function that targets call instead of
calling unpush_target directly, and as that includes the
have_inferiors check, I needed to adjust the targets.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native, and also with the
extended-gdbserver board.

Confirmed a cross build of djgpp gdb still builds.

Smoke tested a cross build of Windows gdb under Wine.

Untested otherwise.

936d299246 Make compare-sections work against all targets; add compare-sections [-r] tests.
This does two things:

1. Adds a test.

Recently compare-sections got a new "-r" switch, but given no test
existed for compare-sections, the patch was allowed in with no
testsuite addition.  This now adds a test for both compare-sections
and compare-sections -r.

2. Makes the compare-sections command work against all targets.

Currently, compare-sections only works with remote targets, and only
those that support the qCRC packet.  The patch makes it so that if the
target doesn't support accelerating memory verification, then GDB
falls back to comparing memory itself.  This is of course slower, but
it's better than nothing, IMO.  While testing against extended-remote
GDBserver I noticed that we send the qCRC request to the target if
we're connected, but not yet running a program.  That can't work of
course -- the patch fixes that.  This all also goes in the direction
of bridging the local/remote parity gap.

I didn't decouple 1. from 2., because that would mean that the test
would need to handle the case of the target not supporting the
command.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native, remote GDBserver, and
extended-remote GDBserver.  I also hack-disabled qCRC support to make
sure the fallback paths in remote.c work.

f989a1c8ec rename "set debugvarobj" to "set debug varobj"
I think "set debugvarobj" has the wrong name.
It ought to be "set debug varobj", like gdb's other debug settings.

This patch makes the change.

I chose not to install deprecated aliases, since this is only a debug
setting; but if someone feels strongly about it I will add them.

95cf3b38cd compare-sections: New -r option.
When connecting to a remote system, we use the compare-sections
command to verify that the box is running the code that we think it is
running.  Since the system is up and running and *NOT* 'freshly
downloaded without yet executing anything', read-write sections, of
course, differ from what they were in the executable file.

Comparing read-write sections takes time and more importantly the
MIS-MATCHED output is confusing to some users.

The compare-sections command compares all loadable sections including
read-write sections.  This patch gives the user the option to compare
just the loadable read-only sections.

01f9f808e2 Add AVX512 registers support to GDB and GDBserver.
This patch adds support for the Intel(R) Advanced Vector
Extensions 512 (Intel(R) AVX-512) registers.  Native and remote
debugging are covered by this patch.

Intel(R) AVX-512 is an extension to AVX to support 512-bit wide
SIMD registers in 64-bit mode (XMM0-XMM31, YMM0-YMM31, ZMM0-ZMM31).
The number of available registers in 32-bit mode is still 8
(XMM0-7, YMM0-7, ZMM0-7).  The lower 256-bits of the ZMM registers
are aliased to the respective 256-bit YMM registers.  The lower
128-bits are aliased to the respective 128-bit XMM registers.

There are also 8 new, dedicated mask registers (K0-K7) in both 32-bit
mode and 64-bit mode.

9506028490 Deprecate windows-specific dll-symbols command and aliases
The "dll-symbols" command, specific to native Windows platforms,
gives the impression that the symbols were not loaded, first
because it completes silently, and second because the "info shared"
output does not get updated after the command completes:

    (gdb) dll-symbols C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\rpcrt4.dll
    (gdb) info shared
    From        To          Syms Read   Shared Object Library
    [...]
    0x77e51000  0x77ee2554  No          C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll

(we exected the "Syms Read" column to read "Yes").

As far as I can tell, the symbols actually do get loaded, but completely
independently from the solib framework, which explains the silent
loading and the fact that the "Syms Read" column does not get updated.
See windows-nat.c::safe_symbol_file_add_stub, which calls symbol_file_add
instead of calling solib_add.

But, aside from the fact that the "Syms Read" status does not get
updated, I also noticed that it does not take into account the DLL's
actual load address when loading its symbols. As a result, I believe
that we get it wrong if the DLL does not get loaded at the prefered
address.

Rather than trying to fix this command, there does not seem to be
a reason other than historical for having Windows-specific commands
which essentially re-implements the "sharedlibrary" command. The
command interface is slightly different (the latter takes a regexp
rather than a plain filename), but it should be just as easy to use
the "sharedlibrary" command, or its "share" alias, as usisng the
"dll-symbols" command. For instance:

    (gdb) share rpcrt4.dll
    Reading symbols from C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
    Loaded symbols for C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll
    (gdb) info shared
    From        To          Syms Read   Shared Object Library
    [...]
    0x77e51000  0x77ee2554  Yes (*)     C:\WINDOWS\system32\rpcrt4.dll

This patch therefore deprecates the "dll-symbols" command, as well
as its two aliases "add-shared-symbol-files" and "assf", with a view
of deleting them as soon as the 7.8 branch gets cut.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* windows-nat.c (_initialize_windows_nat): Deprecate the
	"dll-symbols" command.  Turn the "add-shared-symbol-files"
	and "assf" aliases into commands, and deprecate them as well.
	* NEWS: Add entry explaining that "dll-symbols" and its two
	aliases are now deprecated.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.texinfo (Files): Document "add-shared-symbol-files"
        and "assf" as being deprecated.
        (Cygwin Native): Likewise for "dll-symbols".
        (Non-debug DLL Symbols): Remove reference to "dll-symbols"
        as a way to force the loading of symbols from a DLL.
