[PATCH] Fix instruction relocation for fast tracepoints


Hello

There is a problem with the instruction relocation facility in GDB, which is
triggered when fast tracepoints are set on call or jump instructions.  The third
and fourth arguments of calls to store_signed_integer (defined in findvar.c) in
the i386 and amd64 implementations of relocate_instruction are the wrong way
around, which results in a relative jump one byte forward.  In the context of
fast tracepoints, this results in a jump to the address portion of another jump
instruction, which typically causes the program to crash when the tracepoint is
reached.

This patch fixes the ordering of the arguments to store_signed_integer.  It also
adds debug messages to the case where a call instruction is relocated (identical
to the ones for jump instructions), and tidies up the presentation of the
messages by removing the duplicate '0x0x' prefix of hexadecimal numbers (since
hex_string and paddress already output the prefix).

        * amd64-tdep.c (amd64_relocate_instruction): Fix ordering of arguments
        to store_signed_integer.  Add debug message when relocating CALL
        instructions.  Fix formatting of debug message.
        * i386-tdep.c (i386_relocate_instruction): Ditto.
