Make assignments to dot keep an empty output section.
An assignment to dot in an output section that allocates space of
course keeps the output section. Here, I'm changing the behaviour for
assignments that don't allocate space. The idea is not so much to
allow people to force output of an empty section with ". = .", but
to fix cases where an otherwise empty section has padding added by an
alignment expression that changes with relaxation or .eh_frame
editing. Such a section might have zero size before relaxation and so
be stripped incorrectly.

remove extended_remote_create_inferior_1
I noticed that extended_remote_create_inferior_1 is called from a
single spot. This patch unifies the callee and caller. It's just a
simple cleanup that made the coming refactoring simpler.
tfile knows to infer the PC from the tracepoint's address if the PC
wasn't collected (tfile_fetch_registers) but, that only works on
targets whose PC register is a raw register, and on s390, the PC
register is a pseudo register.
But even if GDB doesn't know how to infer the value of PC, saying the
current frame is level -1 is a bug:
'-1' is the level of the sentinel frame, which should never be visible.
This is caused by the s390's heuristic unwinder accepting the frame
(the fallback heuristic unwinders _always_ accept the frame), but then
the unwind->this_id method throws that "PC not available\n" error.
IOW, the s390's heuristic unwinder was never adjusted to handle
unavailable register values gracefully, which can happen with e.g., a
trimmed core file too.
This is just the minimal necessary for
<unavailable> frames, which at least gets us:
(gdb) tfind
Found trace frame 0, tracepoint 1
#0 <unavailable> in ?? ()
That is, frame #0 instead of -1.
We could get better info out of "info frame" (this patch makes us show
"outermost"), but this change would still be necessary.

btrace: change branch trace data structure
The branch trace is represented as 3 vectors:
- a block vector
- a instruction vector
- a function vector
Each vector (except for the first) is computed from the one above.
Change this into a graph where a node represents a sequence of instructions
belonging to the same function and where we have three types of edges to connect
the function segments:
- control flow
- same function (instance)
- call stack
This allows us to navigate in the branch trace. We will need this for "record
goto" and reverse execution.
This patch introduces the data structure and computes the control flow edges.
It also introduces iterator structs to simplify iterating over the branch trace
in control-flow order.
It also fixes PR gdb/15240 since now recursive calls are handled correctly.
Fix the test that got the number of expected fib instances and also the
function numbers wrong.
The current instruction had been part of the branch trace. This will look odd
once we start support for reverse execution. Remove it. We still keep it in
the trace itself to allow extending the branch trace more easily in the future.
The test doesn't execute the compiled object's code, so GDB will try
to read memory from the binary's sections. Instructions on ARM are
4-byte wide, and thus ARM's prologue scanner reads in 4-byte chunks.

section is allocated contiguously:

make-target-delegates to work properly, as it doesn't implement a real
parser. I think it's also an ok cleanup in its own right.

Small fixes to the GDB/MI Output Syntax grammar.
This patch fixes the grammar, and tries to do it in a way that makes
the logic behind the current implementation a little clearer.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
(from Yuanhui Zhang <[email protected]>)
(from Joel Brobecker <[email protected]>)
* gdb.texinfo (GDB/MI Output Syntax): Add some missing "nl"
markers. Remove one that was misplaced.
non-PIC references to __ehdr_start in pie and shared
Rather than hacking every backend to not discard dynamic relocations
against an undefined hidden __ehdr_start, make it appear to be defined
early. We want __ehdr_start hidden before size_dynamic_sections so
that it isn't put in .dynsym, but we do need the dynamic relocations
for a PIE or shared library with a non-PIC reference. Defining it
early is wrong if we don't actually define the symbol later to its
proper value. (In some cases we want to leave the symbol undefined,
for example, when the ELF header isn't loaded, and we don't have this
infomation available in before_allocation.)
* elf32-i386.c (elf_i386_allocate_dynrelocs): Revert the last
change.
* elf64-x86-64.c (elf_x86_64_allocate_dynrelocs): Likewise.
