28e7fd6234 Update years in copyright notice for the GDB files.
Two modifications:
  1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
  2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
     year ranges, as approved by the FSF.

0c92d8c1c3 DWARF frame unwinder executes one too many rows
The problem is trying to unwind from a function where %ebp is NOT
used as the frame pointer, and the size of the frame changes over
the lifetime of that function.

For instance, trying to unwind past the GNAT runtime function
called system.tasking.rendezvous.timed_selective_wait on x86-linux,
one can get:

    (gdb) bt
    [...]
    #3  0x0805364b in system.tasking.rendezvous.timed_selective_wait ()
    #4  0xb7fe5068 in ?? ()
    Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)

Looking at the CFI, we find the following initial instructions...

>   DW_CFA_def_cfa: %esp+4 (r4 ofs 4)
>   DW_CFA_offset: %eip at cfa-4  (r8 = %eip)

... and the associated FDE:

> 00001be4 00000054 00001be8 FDE cie=00000000 pc=08053310..08053951
[...]
>   DW_CFA_advance_loc: 8 to 080534ad
>   DW_CFA_def_cfa_offset: 112
>   DW_CFA_advance_loc2: 414 to 0805364b
>   DW_CFA_def_cfa_offset: 108
[...]

The problem is that the DWARF frame unwinder executed the FDE until
the row for PC == 0x0805364b. But in reality, our program hasn't
executed the instruction at that address yet (it is the return address).
So GDB executed a little too much of the FDE, giving us the wrong
offset for the frame base, and thus the wrong address where %eip
got saved.

This patch fixes the problem by using a more correct PC as the bound
for executing the FDE.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * dwarf2-frame.c (dwarf2_frame_cache): Use
        get_frame_address_in_block instead of get_frame_pc as
        the bound for executing the frame's FDE.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * gdb.ada/rdv_wait: New testcase.
