This very simple patch removes the "\nError: " suffix from the warning
message printed by nat/fork-inferior.c:trace_start_error. This proved
to just pollute the screen, causing things like:
Starting program: /usr/bin/true
warning: Could not trace the inferior process.
Error:
warning: ptrace: Permission denied
This "Error: " string is not useful at all, and can confuse things,
therefore let's just remove it and simplify the resulting messages:
Starting program: /usr/bin/true
warning: Could not trace the inferior process.
warning: ptrace: Permission denied

The TUI has two duplicate "re-render this window" methods, "rerender"
and "refresh_all". They differ only slightly in semantics, so I
wanted to see if they could be unified.
After looking into this, I decided that refresh_all was not needed.
There are 4 calls to tui_refresh_all_win (the only caller of this
method):
1. tui_enable. This sets the layout, which renders the windows.
2. tui_cont_sig. Here, I think it's sufficient to simply redraw the
current window contents from the curses backing store, because gdb
state didn't change while it was suspended
3. tui_dispatch_ctrl_char. This is the C-l handler, and here it's
explicitly enough to just refresh the screen (as above).
4. tui_refresh_all_command. This is the command equivalent of C-l.
So, this patch removes this method entirely and simplifies
tui_refresh_all_win.

This patch starts with the observation that the code in
tui_data_window::display_registers_from can all be replaced with a
call to resize. To make this work propertly, it also changes
tui_display_register to be the "rerender" method on
tui_data_item_window.
The refresh_window method is needed due to the use of nested windows
here. The ncurses man page makes it sound like this is not very well
supported; and experience bears this out: negelecting the touchwin
call in this path will cause the register window to blank when
switching focus.

This was reported by Bernhard Wodok, along with a patch to fix the
issue. I adjusted the patch a bit, and I'm submitting the patch on
his behalf.
According to Bernhard, the issue can be reproduced by doing:
1. start gdb
2. enter 'target remote :2345'
3. observe that it throws a "connection refused" error immediately
instead of waiting and throwing a timeout error
I.e., I believe it can be reproduced by our current tests, which is
why I'm not proposing any extra tests here (well, I don't use nor have
any Windows system to test this, so...).
The problem happens because, on ser-tcp:wait_for_connect, we call
'gdb_select' passing 0 as its first argument, which, when using MinGW,
ends up using the 'gdb_select' version from mingw-hdep.c, and when the
first argument is 0 this means that WaitForMultipleObjects will be
called with 0 as its first argument as well. According to the MS API
docs, this is forbidden:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/synchapi/nf-synchapi-waitformultipleobjects
The proposed fix is simple: we just call Sleep when N == 0 (and when
TIMEOUT is non-NULL), and return 0. It makes sense to me.
Both Bernhard and Paul Carroll confirmed that the fix works. I'm
Cc'ing Bernhard in case you have any questions about the patch.

This was broken when I changed how we compute the value for the gp register.
It used to be computed inside the sdata section. Now it is computed at the
end which makes it an abs section symbol. There is code that tries to use
the alignment of the section that the gp value is in, but this does not work
if it is in the abs section, as the abs section has alignment of 1 byte.
There are people using alternative linker scripts that still define it in the
sdata section, so the code is still useful. Thus adding a check to disable
this when gp is in the abs section.

"start + uvalue" is bounded by "start" and "end" regardless of the
size of pointers and the unsigned dwarf_vma integer type.

BFD was leaking memory in bfd_check_format_matches. As part of
deciding the proper format of an archive, BFD looks at the format of
the first file stored. That file's bfd was left open for reasons
given in a comment removed in git commit 0e71e4955c that said:
/* We ought to close `first' here, but we can't, because
we have no way to remove it from the archive cache.
It's close to impossible to figure out when we can
release bfd_ardata. FIXME. */
Well, things have changed since that comment was true and we now can
remove files from the archive cache. Closing the first file is good
and cures some of the leaks. Other leaks are caused by
bfd_check_format_matches throwing away bfd tdata before trying a new
match. That lost the element cache set up when format checking the
first element in the archive. The easiest and cleanest fix is to
simply disable the caching when checking the first element.

Currently the 'info types' command will return symbols that correspond
to Fortran modules. This is because the symbols are created with
domain MODULE_DOMAIN and address_class LOC_TYPEDEF. The address_class
LOC_TYPEDEF is the same address_class used for type symbols which is
why the modules show up when listing types.
This commit explicitly prevents symbols in the MODULE_DOMAIN from
appearing when we search for symbols in the TYPES_DOMAIN, this
prevents the Fortran module symbols from appearing in the output of
'info types'.

When using catch catch/rethrow/catch, a libstdcxx with SDT probes is required
for both the regexp argument, and the convenience variable $_exception (
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Set-Catchpoints.html ).
Currently, when using these features with a libstdcxx without SDT probes, we
get the cryptic error message:
...
not stopped at a C++ exception catchpoint
...
Improve this by instead emitting the more helpful:
...
did not find exception probe (does libstdcxx have SDT probes?)
...
Tested on x86_64-linux.
