In a test downstream in ROCgdb, we had a test case failing when
GDB_REVERSE_INIT_FUNCTIONS was set. The test was assuming a particular
order in the output of "show convenience". And the order changes when
running with GDB_REVERSE_INIT_FUNCTIONS.
I think that a nice way to fix it is to make the output of "show
convenience" sorted, and therefore stable. Ideally, I think that the
the user-visible behavior of GDB should not change when using
GDB_REVERSE_INIT_FUNCTIONS. Plus, it makes the output of "show
convenience" look nice, not that it's really important.
Implement this by storing the internal vars in an std::map, which is a
sorted container.

Change internalvar::name to std::string, automating memory management.
It becomes necessary to allocate internalvar with new instead of XNEW.
I didn't find how to trigger the code in complete_internalvar. It is
called from condition_completer, so it should be by using the
"condition" command, but I never managed to get in the right code path.

When connecting to a certain target, gdb issues a warning about the
target description:
(gdb) target remote localhost:7947
Remote debugging using localhost:7947
warning: Architecture rejected target-supplied description
If you then kill the inferior and change the exec-file, this will
happen:
(gdb) file bar
Architecture of file not recognized.
After this, debugging doesn't work very well.
What happens here is that, despite the warning,
target_find_description records the downloaded description in the
target_desc_info. Then the "file" command ends up calling
set_gdbarch_from_file, which uses that description.
It seems to me that, because the architecture rejected the
description, it should not be used. That is what this patch
implements.
The manual currently has many cases like these:
@item $_gdb_setting_str (@var{setting})
@findex $_gdb_setting_str@r{, convenience function}
As suggested by Eli, move the @findex entries before @item so that the
index records the position of @item, and the Info reader places you
there when you use index-search.
I went over all @findex calls in the manual, and most are like the
above. Most either appear before @item, or before @subheading, like:
@subheading The @code{-break-after} Command
@findex -break-after
I fixed all of them.
There are findex entries in annotate.texinfo,python.texi, and
stabs.texinfo as well, though those all look right to me already.
Tested by typing "i _isvoid" (@item case) and "i -complete"
(@subheading case) in an Info reader, and checking where those took
me.

I fixed this a while ago for ifx, one of the two Intel compilers, in
8d624a9d80.
Apparently I missed that the older ifort Intel compiler actually emits
slightly different debug info again:
0x0000007a: DW_TAG_base_type
DW_AT_byte_size (0x20)
DW_AT_encoding (DW_ATE_complex_float)
DW_AT_name ("COMPLEX(16)")
0x00000081: DW_TAG_base_type
DW_AT_byte_size (0x10)
DW_AT_encoding (DW_ATE_float)
DW_AT_name ("REAL(16)")
This fixes two failures in gdb.fortran/complex.exp with ifort.

In 7545aa2dd2 ("gas: improve interaction between read_a_source_file()
and s_linefile()") I didn't pay attention to the dual purpose of the
nul character previously used. This was to a fair degree because of the
open-coding of certain operations. Insert the earlier found line
terminator instead of a hard-coded newline, and do so early in this
special case (bypassing the later general insertion point). Plus
properly use sb_terminate() to mark the end of the string. (Note that
saved_eol_char was misnamed: Without calling sb_terminate() there's
simply random data at that position in the buffer.)
Change FIX so that unused pointers that escape the UPDATE_RAW_END
sanity checks won't result in overflows. Also sanity check the local
sym fdr isymBase and csym values.
* ecoff.c (_bfd_ecoff_slurp_symbolic_info): Define FIX to set
pointers into swapped internal data to NULL if count is zero.
Sanity check local sym fdr_ptr->isymBase and fdr_ptr->csym.
Fuzzers have found that specifying a large stab type number results in
lots of memory being requested, as the list is extended with a 16
element array at a time until we reach the given stab type. It also
takes a long time. Of course normal sane stab types use small
positive integers, but it's not hard to modify the code to handle type
numbers starting anyhere.
* stabs.c (struct stab_types): Add base_index.
(stab_find_slot): Simplify filenum check. Delete type number
check. Don't allocate entire array from 0 to type number,
allocate a sparse array.
I noticed that the TUI temporarily sets pagination_enabled and
gdb_stdout in one spot. However, I don't believe these settings are
necessary here, as a ui_file is passed to
gdbarch_print_registers_info. This patch removes these settings.
This renaming helps make it clearer that these entites (classes,
functions) are specific to .gdb_index only, they are not shared with the
.debug_names handling.

While investigating something else, I noticed some weird code in
agent_run_command (use of memcpy rather than strcpy). Then I noticed
that 'cmd' is used as both an in and out parameter, despite being
const.
Casting away const like this is bad. This patch removes the const and
fixes the memcpy. I also added a static assert to assure myself that
the code in gdbserver is correct -- gdbserver is passing its own
buffer directly to agent_run_command.

There's a HW bug affecting Processor Trace on some Intel processors
(Ice Lake to Raptor Lake microarchitectures).
The bug was exposed by linux kernel commit 670638477aed
("perf/x86/intel/pt: Opportunistically use single range output mode"),
added in version v5.5.0, and was worked around by commit ce0d998be927
("perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix sampling using single range output") in version
6.1.0.
The bug manifests (on a Performance-core of an i7-1250U, an Alder Lake cpu) in
a single test-case:
...
(gdb) python insn = r.instruction_history^M
warning: Decode error (-20) at instruction 33 (offset = 0x3d6a, \
pc = 0x400501): compressed return without call.^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.python/py-record-btrace.exp: prepare record: \
python insn = r.instruction_history
...
Add a corresponding XFAIL.
Note that the i7-1250U has both Performance-cores and Efficient-cores, and on
an Efficient-Core the test-case runs without any problems, so if the testsuite
run is not pinned to a specific cpu, the test may either PASS or XFAIL.
Tested on x86_64-linux:
- openSUSE Leap 15.4 with linux kernel version 5.14.21
- openSUSE Tumbleweed with linux kernel version 6.1.8

In 162c6aef1f ("gas: fold symbol table entries generated for
.startof.() / .sizeof.()") I screwed up quite badly, inverting the case
sensitive and case insensitive comparison functions.
read_a_source_file() would bump line numbers only when seeing a newline,
whereas is_end_of_line[] indicates further end-of-line characters, in
particular the nul character. s_linefile() attempts to compensate for
the bump, but was too aggressive with this so far: It should only adjust
when a newline ends the line. To facilitate such a check, the check for
nothing else on the line needs to move ahead, which luckily is easily
possible: The relevant two conditions match, and the function can
simply return from the body of that earlier instance of the conditional.
The more strict treatment in s_linefile() then requires an adjustment
to buffer_and_nest()'s invocation of the function: The line terminator
now needs to be a newline, not nul.
The buildbot pointed out that my value refactoring series introduced a

2458 | if (VALUE_LVAL (v) == not_lval || v->->deprecated_modifiable () == 0)
I don't know how that happened, but I am checking in this patch which
I think should fix it. It just removes the second "->".
I can't readily test this, so perhaps there's another bug lurking
after this one.
Simon pointed out some spots were doing val.get()->mumble, where val
is a value_ref_ptr. These were introduced by the function-to-method
script, replacing older code that passed the result of .get() to a
function.
Now that value.h is using methods, we can instead rely on operator->.
This patch replaces all the newly-introduced instances of this.

This introduces the set_lval method on value, one step toward removing

methods can probably be handled the same way.
