Pedro Alves 8b9a549d3a PR symtab/14466: Work around PR libc/13097 "linux-vdso.so.1"
With upstream glibc, GDB prints:

  warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.
  Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?

A bug's been filed for glibc a few years back:

  http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13097

but it's still not resolved.  It's not clear whether there's even
consensus that this is indeed a glibc bug.  It would actually be nice
if GDB also listed the vDSO in the shared library list, but there are
some design considerations with that:

 - the vDSO is mapped by the kernel, not userspace, therefore we
   should load its symbols right from the process's start of life,
   even before glibc / the userspace loader sets up the initial DSO
   list.  The program might even be using a custom loader or no
   loader.

 - that kind of hints at that solib.c should handle retrieving shared
   library lists from more than one source, and that symfile-mem.c's
   loading of the vDSO would be converted to load and relocate the
   vDSO's bfd behind the target_so_ops interface.

 - and then, once glibc links in the vDSO to its DSO list, we'd need
   to either:

    a) somehow hand over the vDSO from one target_so_ops to the other

    b) simply keep hiding glibc's entry.

And then b) seems the simplest.

With that in mind, this patch simply discards the vDSO from glibc's
reported shared library list.

We can match the vDSO address range with the addresses found iterating
the dynamic linker list, to tell which dynamic linker entry is the
vDSO.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.

		   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.
