Re: Improve end check on rs6000 prologue analyzer


Mark told me that OpenBSD is using gcc 3.3.5.  I tried to get qemu to
run an OpenBSD image, but it ended poorly.  I did find a powerpc-linux
system using GCC 3.3.3, though.

Short version: I reproduced one failure and fixed it, and I expect
that to fix the second failure too, but I'm not sure about the
selftest.exp problems.

Mark, could you try the patch at the bottom of this message?  If it
still causes selftest.exp "odd location" failures, I would appreciate
a copy of the GDB binary.  I can probably figure out what's happened
from that.  I don't think I'm going to get OpenBSD to run any time
soon, though I am going to keep trying.

I can reproduce this one.  Here's the difference:

-Breakpoint 2, 0x10000500 in marker4 (d=177601976) at
 ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/sepdebug.c:71
 71     void marker4 (d) long d; {}  /* set breakpoint 13 here */
-PASS: gdb.base/sepdebug.exp: run until breakpoint set at small
 function, optimized file

+Breakpoint 2, marker4 (d=1) at
 ../../../src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/sepdebug.c:71
 71     void marker4 (d) long d; {}  /* set breakpoint 13 here */
+(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/sepdebug.exp: run until breakpoint set at small
 function, optimized file

The argument value is wrong.  The old version stopped at 0x10000500,
which the debug info reports as being in the middle of a line.  The
new version stopped at 0x100004f0, which is the very start of the
function.

0x100004f0 <marker4+0>: stwu    r1,-32(r1)
0x100004f4 <marker4+4>: stw     r31,28(r1)
0x100004f8 <marker4+8>: mr      r31,r1
0x100004fc <marker4+12>:        stw     r3,8(r31)
0x10000500 <marker4+16>:        lwz     r11,0(r1)
0x10000504 <marker4+20>:        lwz     r31,-4(r11)
0x10000508 <marker4+24>:        mr      r1,r11
0x1000050c <marker4+28>:        blr

GCC doesn't generate a second line note for this function.  It's just
got the one for the start, and GDB trusted it.  That's easy to fix -
skip_prologue_using_sal says "returns 0 if the skip fails", but in
this case it returns the start of the function instead of 0.  Another
fix is needed to make the prologue analyzer not analyze right through
into the epilogue, treating it as optimized code moved into the
prologue.

With those changes, I get no regressions.  My GCC 3.3.3 didn't
show the m-data.exp or selftest.exp regressions to begin with, so I
can't be sure I fixed them - there were some changes in selftest.exp
but no failures.  But I'm pretty sure m-data.exp will be fixed now,
since that failure is also at an empty one line marker function.
