Add DWARF index cache
New in v3:
- Remove things related to the dwarf-5 format.
- Fix compilation on mingw (scoped_mmap.c).
GDB can generate indexes for DWARF debug information, which, when
integrated in the original binary, can speed up loading object files.
This can be done using the gdb-add-index script or directly by the
linker itself. However, not many people know about this. And even
among those who do, because it requires additional steps, I don't know a
lot of people who actually go through that trouble.
To help make using the DWARF index more transparent, this patch
introduces a DWARF index cache. When enabled, loading an index-less
binary in GDB will automatically save an index file in ~/.cache/gdb.
When loading that same object file again, the index file will be looked
up and used to load the DWARF index. You therefore get the benefit of
the DWARF index without having to do additional manual steps or
modifying your build system. When an index section is already present
in the file, GDB will prefer that one over looking up the cache.
When doing my edit-compile-debug cycle, I often debug multiple times the
same build, so the cache helps reducing the load time of the debug
sessions after the first one.
- The saved index file is exactly the same as the output of the "save
gdb-index" command. It is therefore the exact same content that would
be found in the .gdb_index or .debug_names section. We just leave it
as a standalone file instead of merging it in the binary.
- The cache is just a directory with files named after the object
file's build-id. It is not possible to save/load the index for an
object file without build-id in the cache.
- The cache uses the gdb index format. The problem with the dwarf-5
format is that we can generate an addendum to the .debug_str section
that you're supposed to integrate to the original binary. This
complicates a little bit loading the data from the cached index files,
so I would leave this for later.
- The size taken up by ~/.cache/gdb is not limited. I was thinking we
could add configurable limit (like ccache does), but that would come
after. Also, maybe a command to flush the cache.
- The cache is disabled by default. I think once it's been out there
and tested for a while, it could be turned on by default, so that
everybody can enjoy it.
- The code was made to follow the XDG specification: if the
XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable, it is used, otherwise it falls
back to ~/.cache/gdb. It is possible to change it using "set
index-cache directory". On other OSes than GNU/Linux, ~/.cache may
not be the best place to put such data. On macOS it should probably
default to ~/Library/Caches/... On Windows, %LocalAppData%/... I
don't intend to do this part, but further patches are welcome.
- I think that we need to be careful that multiple instances of GDB
don't interfere with each other (not far fetched at all if you run GDB
in some automated script) and the cache is always coherent (either the
file is not found, or it is found and entirely valid). Writing the
file directly to its final location seems like a recipe for failure.
One GDB could read a file in the index while it is being written by
another GDB. To mitigate this, I made write_psymtabs_to_index write
to temporary files and rename them once it's done. Two GDB instances
writing the index for the same file should not step on each other's
toes (the last file to be renamed will stay). A GDB looking up a file
will only see a complete file or no file. Also, if GDB crashes while
generating the index file, it will leave a work-in-progress file, but
it won't be picked up by other instances looking up in the cache.

Move DWARF code to dwarf2/ subdirectory
This moves all the remaining DWARF code to the new dwarf2
subdirectory. This is just a simple renaming, with updates to
includes as needed.

Rename common to gdbsupport
This is the next patch in the ongoing series to move gdbsever to the
top level.
This patch just renames the "common" directory. The idea is to do
this move in two parts: first rename the directory (this patch), then
move the directory to the top. This approach makes the patches a bit
more tractable.
I chose the name "gdbsupport" for the directory. However, as this
patch was largely written by sed, we could pick a new name without too
much difficulty.
Tested by the buildbot.

Add DWARF index cache
New in v3:
- Remove things related to the dwarf-5 format.
- Fix compilation on mingw (scoped_mmap.c).
GDB can generate indexes for DWARF debug information, which, when
integrated in the original binary, can speed up loading object files.
This can be done using the gdb-add-index script or directly by the
linker itself. However, not many people know about this. And even
among those who do, because it requires additional steps, I don't know a
lot of people who actually go through that trouble.
To help make using the DWARF index more transparent, this patch
introduces a DWARF index cache. When enabled, loading an index-less
binary in GDB will automatically save an index file in ~/.cache/gdb.
When loading that same object file again, the index file will be looked
up and used to load the DWARF index. You therefore get the benefit of
the DWARF index without having to do additional manual steps or
modifying your build system. When an index section is already present
in the file, GDB will prefer that one over looking up the cache.
When doing my edit-compile-debug cycle, I often debug multiple times the
same build, so the cache helps reducing the load time of the debug
sessions after the first one.
- The saved index file is exactly the same as the output of the "save
gdb-index" command. It is therefore the exact same content that would
be found in the .gdb_index or .debug_names section. We just leave it
as a standalone file instead of merging it in the binary.
- The cache is just a directory with files named after the object
file's build-id. It is not possible to save/load the index for an
object file without build-id in the cache.
- The cache uses the gdb index format. The problem with the dwarf-5
format is that we can generate an addendum to the .debug_str section
that you're supposed to integrate to the original binary. This
complicates a little bit loading the data from the cached index files,
so I would leave this for later.
- The size taken up by ~/.cache/gdb is not limited. I was thinking we
could add configurable limit (like ccache does), but that would come
after. Also, maybe a command to flush the cache.
- The cache is disabled by default. I think once it's been out there
and tested for a while, it could be turned on by default, so that
everybody can enjoy it.
- The code was made to follow the XDG specification: if the
XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable, it is used, otherwise it falls
back to ~/.cache/gdb. It is possible to change it using "set
index-cache directory". On other OSes than GNU/Linux, ~/.cache may
not be the best place to put such data. On macOS it should probably
default to ~/Library/Caches/... On Windows, %LocalAppData%/... I
don't intend to do this part, but further patches are welcome.
- I think that we need to be careful that multiple instances of GDB
don't interfere with each other (not far fetched at all if you run GDB
in some automated script) and the cache is always coherent (either the
file is not found, or it is found and entirely valid). Writing the
file directly to its final location seems like a recipe for failure.
One GDB could read a file in the index while it is being written by
another GDB. To mitigate this, I made write_psymtabs_to_index write
to temporary files and rename them once it's done. Two GDB instances
writing the index for the same file should not step on each other's
toes (the last file to be renamed will stay). A GDB looking up a file
will only see a complete file or no file. Also, if GDB crashes while
generating the index file, it will leave a work-in-progress file, but
it won't be picked up by other instances looking up in the cache.

gdb: rename dwarf2_per_objfile variables/fields to per_objfile
While doing the psymtab-sharing patchset, I avoided renaming variables
unnecessarily to avoid adding noise to patches, but I'd like to do it
now. Basically, we have these dwarf2 per-something structures:
- dwarf2_per_objfile
- dwarf2_per_bfd
- dwarf2_per_cu_data
I named the instances of dwarf2_per_bfd `per_bfd` and most of instances
of dwarf2_per_cu_data are called `per_cu`. Most pre-existing instances
of dwarf2_per_objfile are named `dwarf2_per_objfile`. For consistency
with the other type, I'd like to rename them to just `per_objfile`. The
`dwarf2_` prefix is superfluous, since it's already clear we are in
dwarf2 code. It also helps reducing the line wrapping by saving 7
precious columns.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2/comp-unit.c, dwarf2/comp-unit.h, dwarf2/index-cache.c,
dwarf2/index-cache.h, dwarf2/index-write.c,
dwarf2/index-write.h, dwarf2/line-header.c,
dwarf2/line-header.h, dwarf2/macro.c, dwarf2/macro.h,
dwarf2/read.c, dwarf2/read.h: Rename struct dwarf2_per_objfile
variables and fields from `dwarf2_per_objfile` to just
`per_objfile` throughout.

Add DWARF index cache
New in v3:
