Multi-arch related tests under gdb.multi are to compile programs with
the same compiler but different compiler options (-m64 vs -m32). However,
different compilers are needed to compile both aarch64 program and
arm (aarch32) program. This patch is to adjust these test cases to
compile programs in different modes with different compiler.
When we use gcc for arm-linux target, its file name can be different,
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc, arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc, or arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc,
so I add a variable ARM_CC_FOR_TARGET, so that user can set the name
of gcc for arm-linux target on aarch64, like:
$ make check RUNTESTFLAGS='ARM_CC_FOR_TARGET=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc multi-arch.exp'
gdb/testsuite:
2015-07-07 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp: Set march1 and march2 to "" if target
is aarch64. If target is aarch64, set compiler=${ARM_CC_FOR_TARGET}
if it exists.
* gdb.multi/multi-arch.exp: Likewise.
This patch is to add the following line to various arm target description
xml files,
<architecture>arm</architecture>
in order to fix problems I've seen on aarch64 multi-arch debugging,
detach^M
Detaching from program: build-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/attach, process 17145^M
(gdb) PASS: gdb.base/attach.exp: attach1 detach file^M
No executable file now.^M

(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/attach.exp: attach1, purging symbols after detach
Without this patch, struct target_desc *tdesc_* are not initialised
properly, that is, fields arch and osabi in 'struct target_desc' are
not set properly. This doesn't cause any problems on single arch
debugging, because arch-utils.c:gdbarch_info_fill will guess correctly.
However, in multi-arch debugging, gdbarch_info_fill gets the aarch64
arch, but the target description is for arm (because the current
inferior is 32-bit arm).
It is a surprise to me we didn't set architecture to "arm" before in *.xml
files, and I didn't find out why didn't do so. AFAICS,
gdb/features/arm-with-iwmmxt.xml was added firstly (in patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-01/msg00593.html)
which had <architecture>iwmmxt</architecture>, however, afterwards,
architecture isn't set anymore in features/arm-*.xml files (in patches
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-07/msg00689.html and
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-08/msg00225.html).

This patch is to let aarch64 GDB debug 32-bit arm program natively. In
each function for fetching and storing registers, GDB will check
gdbarch_bfd_arch_info (gdbarch)->bits_per_word, if it is 32, call
the corresponding aarch32 functions in aarch32-linux-nat.c, otherwise
fall back to aarch64 code to fetch and store registers.
aarch64_linux_read_description has to return the right target description,
but we don't have gdbarch available there, so GDB fetches auxv and gets
AT_PHENT, in order to determine whether the target is 32-bit or 64-bit.
I learned this trick from solib-svr4.c.

Patch "Do not skip prologue for asm (.S) files" [1] changes GDB's
behaviour on which test gdb.arch/thumb-singlestep.exp depends, so
it causes the fail below:
(gdb) si^M
37 blx foo^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/thumb-singlestep.exp: step into foo
the test assumes the program will stop at the instruction after "push"
but it doesn't. The fix to this fail is to do one more single step.

Changes the documentation for the layout and focus commands.
Instead of documenting each layout (or focus) sub-command as a separate

The documentation for the layout command has been extended little to

Back in the day support for these processors was added, we probably
didn't want to waste PPC_OPCODE bits on minor variations. I've had a
complaint that disassembly of mfspr/mtspr was wrong for power8. This
patch fixes that problem.
Note that since -m860/-m850/-m821 are new gas options enabling the
mpc8xx specific mfspr/mtspr variants it is possible that this change
will break some mpc8xx assembly code. ie. you might need to modify
makefiles to pass -m860 to gas.

This change adds support for backtracing through Renesas RX exception
frames.
Determination about the type of frame is made by scanning the
remainder of the function for a return instruction and then looking at
which, if any, return instruction is found. A normal RTS instruction
indicates that the frame is a normal frame. An RTFI instruction
indicates that it's a fast interrupt, and an RTE instruction indicates
that the frame is a (normal) exception frame. If no return instruction
is found within the scanned region - which can happen when the end of
the function cannot be found - it is assumed to be a normal frame.
I was able to test that normal prologue scanning still works by
disabling the dwarf2 sniffer. I've tested this code for normal
interrupts. The fast interrupt case has not been tested.

* rl78-tdep.c (struct gdbarch_tdep): Add new field, rl78_psw_type.
(rl78_register_type): Add case for RL78_PSW_REGNUM.
(rl78_gdbarch_init): Initialize rl78_psw_type.
When I replaced TUI's frame_changed hook to fix PR tui/13378 I assumed
that there's no reason to refresh register information following a call
to "up", "down" or "frame". This assumption was made to fix the problem
of refreshing frame information twice following a sync-execution normal
stop (once in tui_normal_stop and then in tui_before_prompt) -- the
second refresh removing any highlights made by the first.
I was wrong about that -- GDB's snapshot of register information is
per-frame, and when the frame changes, registers do too (most
prominently the %rip and %rsp registers). So e.g. GDB 7.8 would
highlight such register changes after invoking "up", "down" or "frame",
and current GDB does not.
To fix this regression, this patch adds another (sufficient) condition
for refreshing register information: in
tui_refresh_frame_and_register_information, always refresh register
information if frame information has changed. This makes register
information get refreshed following a call to "up", "down" or "frame"
while still avoiding the "double refresh" issue following a normal stop.
This condition may seem to obsolete the existing registers_too_p
parameter, but it does not: following a normal stop, it is possible that
registers may have changed while frame information had not. We could be
on the exact same PC with different register values. The new condition
would not catch such a case, but the registers_too_p condition will. So
both conditions seem necessary (and either one is sufficient).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* tui/tui-hooks.c (tui_refresh_frame_and_register_information):
Update commentary. Always refresh the registers when frame
information has changed.
* tui/tui-stack.c (tui_show_frame_info): Update commentary.
Change return type to int. Return 1 if frame information has
changed, 1 otherwise.
(tui_before_prompt): Update commentary.
* tui/tui-stack.h (tui_show_frame_info): Change return type to
int.
As these characters don't need to be escaped for strings
wrapped inside {} braces, we can remove the unneeded backslashes.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* lib/gdb.exp (test_class_help): Remove the unneeded escaping of
'[' and ']' characters.
