Andrew Burgess 08fd407675 [gdb] Fix segfault during inferior call to ifunc
With a simple test-case:
...
$ cat test.c
char *p = "a";
int main (void) {
  return strlen (p);
}
$ gcc -g test.c
...
we run into this segfault:
...
$ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex start -ex "p strlen (p)"
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x1151: file test.c, line 4.
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:4
4	  return strlen (p);

Fatal signal: Segmentation fault
...

The strlen is an ifunc, and consequently during the call to
call_function_by_hand_dummy for "p strlen (p)" another call
to call_function_by_hand_dummy is used to resolve the ifunc.

This invalidates the get_current_frame () result in the outer call.

Fix this by using prepare_reinflate and reinflate.

Note that this series (
https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20221214033441.499512-1-simon.marchi@polymtl.ca/ )
should address this problem, but this patch is a simpler fix which is easy to
backport.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
