[commit] Remove unused function in ppc-linux-nat.c


Hello,

this patch removes the never-used ppc_linux_in_sigtramp routine and
its subroutines.  This has been superseded by sigtramp frame sniffers.

Tested on powerpc-linux.  Committed to mainline.

Bye,
Ulrich

ChangeLog:

	* ppc-linux-tdep.c (INSTR_SC, INSTR_LI_R0_0x6666, INSTR_LI_R0_0x7777,
	INSTR_LI_R0_NR_sigreturn, INSTR_LI_R0_NR_rt_sigreturn): Remove.
	(PPC_LINUX_SIGNAL_FRAMESIZE, PPC_LINUX_REGS_PTR_OFFSET,
	PPC_LINUX_HANDLER_PTR_OFFSET): Remove.
	(ppc_linux_in_sigtramp, insn_is_sigreturn,
	ppc_linux_at_sigtramp_return_path): Remove.

-/* Determine if pc is in a signal trampoline...
-
-   Ha!  That's not what this does at all.  wait_for_inferior in
-   infrun.c calls get_frame_type() in order to detect entry into a
-   signal trampoline just after delivery of a signal.  But on
-   GNU/Linux, signal trampolines are used for the return path only.
-   The kernel sets things up so that the signal handler is called
-   directly.
-
-   If we use in_sigtramp2() in place of in_sigtramp() (see below)
-   we'll (often) end up with stop_pc in the trampoline and prev_pc in
-   the (now exited) handler.  The code there will cause a temporary
-   breakpoint to be set on prev_pc which is not very likely to get hit
-   again.
-
-   If this is confusing, think of it this way...  the code in
-   wait_for_inferior() needs to be able to detect entry into a signal
-   trampoline just after a signal is delivered, not after the handler
-   has been run.
-
-   So, we define in_sigtramp() below to return 1 if the following is
-   true:
-
-   1) The previous frame is a real signal trampoline.
-
-   - and -
-
-   2) pc is at the first or second instruction of the corresponding
-   handler.
-
-   Why the second instruction?  It seems that wait_for_inferior()
-   never sees the first instruction when single stepping.  When a
-   signal is delivered while stepping, the next instruction that
-   would've been stepped over isn't, instead a signal is delivered and
-   the first instruction of the handler is stepped over instead.  That
-   puts us on the second instruction.  (I added the test for the first
-   instruction long after the fact, just in case the observed behavior
-   is ever fixed.)  */
