Systems without the C extension mandate 4-byte alignment for
instructions, so there is no reason to allow for 2-byte alignment. This
change avoids emitting lots of unimplemented instructions into object
files on non-C targets, which users keep reporting as a bug. While this
isn't actually a bug (as none of the offsets in object files are
relevant until RISC-V), it is ugly.

* testsuite/ld-mmix/undef-3.d: Update expected output from readelf.
Fix a bug in MIPS n32 ELF object file generation and make such objects
consistent with the n32 BFD requested, by presetting the EF_MIPS_ABI2
flag in the `e_flags' member of the newly created ELF file header, as it
is this flag that tells n32 objects apart from o32 objects.
This flag will then stay set through to output file generation for
writers such as GAS or GDB's `generate-core-file' command. Readers will
overwrite the whole of `e_flags' along with the rest of the ELF file
header in `elf_swap_ehdr_in' and then verify in `mips_elf_n32_object_p'
that the flag is still set before accepting an input file as an n32
object.
The issue was discovered with GDB's `generate-core-file' command making
o32 core files out of n32 debuggees.

With a 32-bit bfd (default on an ILP32 system) the previous markings
on tests *were* correct. There, the results have been consistent
since they were added. The tests would appear to "spuriously" xpass
"only" on LP64 hosts, which were not the norm in 2000. (But, now CRIS
requires a 64-bit BFD.)
* testsuite/ld-elf/shared.exp: Remove kfails.
The test-cases started passing with 5c3261b0e8,
"ELF: Call check_relocs after opening all inputs".
The lists could now be re-concatenated (see other run_ld_link_tests
calls in shared.exp), but are for now left separate to simplify future
kfail/xfailing.
It happens often that we want to iterate or find threads restricted to a
given pid. I think it's worth having an overload to help with this.
Right now there is a single user of each of the find_thread and
for_each_thread overload, but as we replace the usages of find_inferior
with for_each_thread/find_thread, more usages will pop up.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* gdbthread.h (find_thread, for_each_thread): New functions.
* inferiors.c (thread_of_pid): Remove.
(find_any_thread_of_pid): Use find_thread.
* linux-low.c (num_lwps): Use for_each_thread.
This patch removes VEC (mem_region). Doing so requires touching a lot
of little things here and there.
The fields in mem_attrib are now initialized during construction. The
values match those that were in default_mem_attrib (now removed).
unknown_mem_attrib is also removed, and replaced with a static method
(mem_attrib::unknown) that returns the equivalent.
mem_region is initialized in a way similar to mem_region_init (now
removed) did.
I found the organization of mem_region_list and target_mem_region_list a
bit confusing. Sometimes mem_region_list points to the same vector as
target_mem_region_list (and therefore does not own it), and sometimes
(when the user manually edits the mem regions) points to another vector,
and in this case owns it. To avoid this ambiguity, I think it is
simpler to have two vectors, one for target-defined regions and one for
user-defined regions, and have mem_region_list point to one or the
other. There are now no vector objects dynamically allocated, both are
static.
The make-target-delegates script does not generate valid code when a
target method returns a type with a parameter list. For this reason, I
created a typedef (mem_region_vector) that's only used in the target_ops
structure. If you speak perl, you are welcome to improve the script!
Regtested on the buildbot.

displaced_step_closure is a type defined in multiple -tdep.c files.
Trying to xfree it from the common code (infrun.c) is a problem when we
try to poison xfree for non-POD types. Because there can be multiple of
these types in the same build, this patch makes a hierarchy of classes
with a virtual destructor. When the common code deletes the object
through a displaced_step_closure pointer, it will invoke the right
destructor.
The amd64 used a last-member array with a variable size. That doesn't
work with new, so I changed it for an std::vector. Other architectures
which used a simple byte buffer as a closure now use a shared
buf_displaced_step_closure, a closure type that only contains a
gdb::byte_vector.

The [wait -i $gdb_spawn_id] in the test is dangerous in the sense that
it won't be subject to timeout logic. So if GDB fails quiting, this
testcase hangs forever, hanging the test run with it. See:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-10/msg00728.html
Instead of 'wait'ing directly, use gdb_test_multiple and expect 'eof'.
Tested that the testcase no longer hangs by hacking the test to send
"info threads" instead of "quit".
Tested with
--target_board={unix, native-gdbserver,native-extended-gdbserver}
and tested with
--host_board=local-remote-host

After commit bf46927112 ("Eliminate catch_errors"), GCC started

interp_pre_command_loop, which prints the inferior GDB's prompt, has
already executed, confusing the gdb.gdb/ selftest tests:

In the medany code model the compiler generates PCREL_HI20+PCREL_LO12
relocation pairs against local symbols because HI20+LO12 relocations
can't reach high addresses. We relax HI20+LO12 pairs to GPREL
relocations when possible, which is an important optimization for
Dhrystone. Without this commit we are unable to relax
PCREL_HI20+PCREL_LO12 pairs to GPREL when possible, causing a 10%
permormance hit on Dhrystone on Rocket.
Note that we'll now relax
la gp, __global_pointer$
to
mv gp, gp
which probably isn't what you want in your entry code. Users who want
gp-relative symbols to continue to resolve should add ".option norelax"
accordingly. Due to this, the assembler now pairs PCREL relocations
with RELAX relocations when they're expected to be relaxed just like
every other relaxable relocation.

* config/tc-riscv.c (md_apply_fix): Mark
BFD_RELOC_RISCV_PCREL_HI20 as relaxable when relaxations are
enabled.
We currently delete bytes by shifting an entire BFD backwards to
overwrite the bytes we no longer need. The result is that relaxing a
BFD is quadratic time.
This patch adds an additional relocation that specifies a byte range
that will be deleted from the final object file, and adds a relaxation
pass (between the existing passes that delete bytes and the alignment
pass) that actually deletes the bytes. Note that deletion is still
quadratic time, and nothing uses R_RISCV_DELETE yet.
I've been meaning to go convert all the other relaxations to use
R_RISCV_DELETE and then make it faster, but this patch has been sitting
around for months so it looks like that won't happen for a bit. The
PCREL->GPREL relaxation that comes next uses this, and since we've been
using these two patches out of tree since I wrote them months ago I
figure it's better to just get them in now. I (or someone else :)) can
convert all the relocations later...
R_RISCV_DELETE will never be emitted into ELF objects, so therefor isn't
exposed to the rest of binutils. As such, we're not considering this as
part of the ABI.

Comparing test results between
--target_board=native-gdbserver
--target_board=native-stdio-gdbserver
I noticed that gdb.base/bigcore.exp is failing with native-stdio-gdbserver:
Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/bigcore.exp ...
FAIL: gdb.base/bigcore.exp: continue (timeout)
...
The problem is that:
1. When debugging with "target remote | CMD", the inferior's
stdout/stderr streams are connected to a pipe.
2. The bigcore.c program prints a lot to the screen before it
reaches the breakpoint location that the "continue" shown above
wants to reach.
3. GDB is not flushing the inferior's output pipe while the inferior
is running.
4. The pipe becomes full.
5. The inferior thus deadlocks.
The bug is #3 above, which is what this commit fixes. A new test is
added, that specifically exercises this scenario. The test fails
before the fix, and passes after, and gdb.base/bigcore.exp also starts
passing.
