Joel Brobecker 6041179a74 ARM: stricter __stack_chk_guard check during prologue analysis
We are trying to insert a breakpoint on line 4 for the following
Ada code.

  3 procedure STR is
  4    XX : String (1 .. Blocks.Sz) := (others => 'X'); -- STOP
  5    K : Integer;
  6 begin
  7    K := 13;

The code generated on ARM (-march=armv7-m) starts like this:

    (gdb) disass str'address
    Dump of assembler code for function _ada_str:
       --# Line str.adb:3
       0x08000014 <+0>:     push    {r4, r7, lr}
       0x08000016 <+2>:     sub     sp, #28
       0x08000018 <+4>:     add     r7, sp, #0
       0x0800001a <+6>:     mov     r3, sp
       0x0800001c <+8>:     mov     r4, r3
       --# Line str.adb:4
       0x0800001e <+10>:    ldr     r3, [pc, #84]   ; (0x8000074 <_ada_str+96>)
       0x08000020 <+12>:    ldr     r3, [r3, #0]
       0x08000022 <+14>:    str     r3, [r7, #20]
       0x08000024 <+16>:    ldr     r3, [r7, #20]
       [...]

When computing the address related to str.adb:4, GDB correctly
resolves it to 0x0800001e first, but then considers the next
3 instructions as being part of the prologue because it thinks
they are part of stack-protector code. As a result, instead
of inserting the breakpoint at line 4, it skips those instruction
and consequently the rest of the instructions until the start
of the next line, which his line 7.

The stack-protector code is expected to start like this...

        ldr     Rn, .Label
        ....
        .Lable:
        .word   __stack_chk_guard

... but the implementation actually accepts a sequence where
the ldr location points to an address for which there is no symbol.
It only aborts if the address points to a symbol which is not
__stack_chk_guard.

Since the __stack_chk_guard symbol is always expected to exist
when used (it lives in .dynsym), this patch fixes the issue by
requiring that the ldr gets the address of the __stack_chk_guard
symbol. If the address could not be resolved, then it rejects
the sequence as being stack-protector code.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * arm-tdep.c (arm_skip_stack_protector): Return early if
        address loaded by first "ldr" instruction does not have
        a corresponding minimal symbol.  Update comment.

Tested on arm-eabi using AdaCore's testsuite.
Tested on arm-linux-gnueabi by Yao as well.

		   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.
