[PATCH] Fix gdb.server/solib-list.exp regression


Commit 7817ea46148d (Improve gdb_remote_download, remove gdb_download)
caused:

 FAIL: gdb.server/solib-list.exp: non-stop 0: target extended-remote (timeout)
 FAIL: gdb.server/solib-list.exp: non-stop 0: continue (the program is no longer running)

gdb.log shows:

 system interpreter is: /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
 ...
 spawn ../gdbserver/gdbserver --once :2347 /home/pedro/brno/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/solib-list/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /home/pedro/brno/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/solib-list/solib-list

 Cannot exec /home/pedro/brno/pedro/gdb/mygit/build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/solib-list/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: No such file or directory.

The test copied the interpreter to the outputs directory, however
ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is a relative symlink that when copied points
nowhere:

 $ ls -l testsuite/outputs/gdb.server/solib-list/
 total 52

 -rwxrwxr-x. 1 pedro pedro  9232 Apr  7 11:39 solib-list.so

The copying comes from gdbserver_spawn ->
gdbserver_download_current_prog -> gdb_remote_download.

My first attempt at a fix made solib-list.exp resolve the interpreter
symlink, so that the copying works, and that did make the test pass.

However, I noticed something else, which can be reduced to this:

  gdb_load ${binfile}
  gdbserver_spawn

gdb_load passes ${binfile} unmodified to the "file" command.  If
$binfile needs to be run through standard_output_file, that should be
done before calling gdb_load, and it normally is.

In solib-list.exp's case, the ${binfile} is the system interpreter,
outside the outputs directory.  Since gdbserver_download_current_prog
copies the file to the outputs directory and runs it there, we'd end
up with a mismatch between what gdbserver starts, and gdb loads.  So
to address that we'd have to have the test do:

 +proc gdb_realpath {filename} {
 +  ...
 +}

  set interp_system [section_get ${binfile} .interp]
 +set interp_system [gdb_realpath $interp_system]
 +set interp_system [standard_output_file $interp_system]

But that all seems like pointless copying/work in the first place.  I
think that instead, when local testing, we should make what gdbserver
runs be exactly what was passed to gdb_load / gdb_file_cmd, which is
what we used to do before commit 7817ea46148d (Improve
gdb_remote_download, remove gdb_download), which did:

	 set gdbserver_host_mtime [file mtime $host_exec]
 -       if [is_remote target] {
 -           set gdbserver_server_exec [gdb_download $host_exec]
 -       } else {
 -           set gdbserver_server_exec $host_exec
 -       }
 +       set gdbserver_server_exec [gdb_remote_download target $host_exec]

gdb/ChangeLog:
2016-04-07  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* lib/gdbserver-support.exp (gdbserver_download_current_prog):
	Skip download if the target is local.
