Pedro Alves 6bb90213cb Fix PR gdb/20505 - Make vDSO detection work with core files
Loading a core dump that was either generated on a system running
pristine glibc master, or on a Fedora/RHEL system with LD_DEBUG=unused
set in the environment, solib-svr4.c:svr4_current_sos fails to filter
out the vDSO, resulting in:

  (gdb) core-file corefile.core^M
  [New LWP 2362]^M
  warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.^M
  Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?^M
  Core was generated by `build-gdb/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/corefile/'.^M
  ...

The problem is that gdbarch_vsyscall_range does not support core
inferiors at all.

When live debugging, we're finding the vDSO's start address with
auxv/AT_SYSINFO_EHDR, and then we find the vDSO's size by look for the
corresponding mapping, by parsing /proc/PID/maps.  When debugging a
core dump, we can also determine the starting address from
auxv/AT_SYSINFO_EHDR.  However, we obviously can't read the core
mappings out of the host's /proc.  But we can instead look for a
corresponding load segment in the core's bfd.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-08-22  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	PR gdb/20505
	* linux-tdep.c (linux_vsyscall_range_raw): For core inferiors,
	find the vDSO's start address with AT_SYSINFO_EHDR too, and
	determine the vDSO's size by finding the PT_LOAD segment that
	matches AT_SYSINFO_EHDR.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2016-08-22  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	PR gdb/20505
	* gdb.base/vdso-warning.exp: Test core dumps too.  Use
	with_test_prefix.  Factor out bits to ...
	(test_no_vdso): ... this new procedure.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
