Simon Marchi ac4a4f1cd7 gdb: handle endbr64 instruction in amd64_analyze_prologue
v2:
  - test: build full executable instead of object
  - test: add and use supports_fcf_protection
  - test: use gdb_test_multiple's -wrap option
  - test: don't execute gdb_assert if failed to get breakpoint address

Some GCCs now enable -fcf-protection by default.  This is the case, for
example, with GCC 9.3.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.  Enabling it causes the
`endbr64` instruction to be inserted at the beginning of all functions
and that breaks GDB's prologue analysis.

I noticed this because it gives many failures in gdb.base/break.exp.
But let's take this dummy program and put a breakpoint on main:

    int main(void)
    {
        return 0;
    }

Without -fcf-protection, the breakpoint is correctly put after the prologue:

    $ gcc test.c -g3 -O0 -fcf-protection=none
    $ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory a.out
    Reading symbols from a.out...
    (gdb) disassemble main
    Dump of assembler code for function main:
       0x0000000000001129 <+0>:     push   %rbp
       0x000000000000112a <+1>:     mov    %rsp,%rbp
       0x000000000000112d <+4>:     mov    $0x0,%eax
       0x0000000000001132 <+9>:     pop    %rbp
       0x0000000000001133 <+10>:    retq
    End of assembler dump.
    (gdb) b main
    Breakpoint 1 at 0x112d: file test.c, line 3.

With -fcf-protection, the breakpoint is incorrectly put on the first
byte of the function:

    $ gcc test.c -g3 -O0 -fcf-protection=full
    $ ./gdb -q -nx --data-directory=data-directory a.out
    Reading symbols from a.out...
    (gdb) disassemble main
    Dump of assembler code for function main:
       0x0000000000001129 <+0>:     endbr64
       0x000000000000112d <+4>:     push   %rbp
       0x000000000000112e <+5>:     mov    %rsp,%rbp
       0x0000000000001131 <+8>:     mov    $0x0,%eax
       0x0000000000001136 <+13>:    pop    %rbp
       0x0000000000001137 <+14>:    retq
    End of assembler dump.
    (gdb) b main
    Breakpoint 1 at 0x1129: file test.c, line 2.

Stepping in amd64_skip_prologue, we can see that the prologue analysis,
for GCC-compiled programs, is done in amd64_analyze_prologue by decoding
the instructions and looking for typical patterns.  This patch changes
the analysis to check for a prologue starting with the `endbr64`
instruction, and skip it if it's there.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* amd64-tdep.c (amd64_analyze_prologue): Check for `endbr64`
	instruction, skip it if it's there.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gdb.arch/amd64-prologue-skip-cf-protection.exp: New file.
	* gdb.arch/amd64-prologue-skip-cf-protection.c: New file.

		   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.
