Bruno Larsen c29a6445a9 gdb/frame: Add reinflation method for frame_info_ptr
Currently, despite having a smart pointer for frame_infos, GDB may
attempt to use an invalidated frame_info_ptr, which would cause internal
errors to happen.  One such example has been documented as PR
python/28856, that happened when printing frame arguments calls an
inferior function.

To avoid failures, the smart wrapper was changed to also cache the frame
id, so the pointer can be reinflated later.  For this to work, the
frame-id stuff had to be moved to their own .h file, which is included
by frame-info.h.

Frame_id caching is done explicitly using the prepare_reinflate method.
Caching is done manually so that only the pointers that need to be saved
will be, and reinflating has to be done manually using the reinflate
method because the get method and the -> operator must not change
the internals of the class.  Finally, attempting to reinflate when the
pointer is being invalidated causes the following assertion errors:

check_ptrace_stopped_lwp_gone: assertion `lp->stopped` failed.
get_frame_pc: Assertion `frame->next != NULL` failed.

As for performance concerns, my personal testing with `time make
chec-perf GDB_PERFTEST_MODE=run` showed an actual reduction of around
10% of time running.

This commit also adds a testcase that exercises the python/28856 bug with
7 different triggers, run, continue, step, backtrace, finish, up and down.
Some of them can seem to be testing the same thing twice, but since this
test relies on stale pointers, there is always a chance that GDB got lucky
when testing, so better to test extra.

Regression tested on x86_64, using both gcc and clang.

/* The following is the intended naming schema for frame functions.
It isn't 100% consistent, but it is approaching that. Frame naming
schema:
Prefixes:
get_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT from the THIS frame (functionally
equivalent to THIS->next->unwind->what)
frame_unwind_WHAT...(): Unwind THIS frame's WHAT from the NEXT
frame.
frame_unwind_caller_WHAT...(): Unwind WHAT for NEXT stack frame's
real caller. Any inlined functions in NEXT's stack frame are
skipped. Use these to ignore any potentially inlined functions,
e.g. inlined into the first instruction of a library trampoline.
get_stack_frame_WHAT...(): Get WHAT for THIS frame, but if THIS is
inlined, skip to the containing stack frame.
put_frame_WHAT...(): Put a value into this frame (unsafe, need to
invalidate the frame / regcache afterwards) (better name more
strongly hinting at its unsafeness)
safe_....(): Safer version of various functions, doesn't throw an
error (leave this for later?). Returns true / non-NULL if the request
succeeds, false / NULL otherwise.
Suffixes:
void /frame/_WHAT(): Read WHAT's value into the buffer parameter.
ULONGEST /frame/_WHAT_unsigned(): Return an unsigned value (the
alternative is *frame_unsigned_WHAT).
LONGEST /frame/_WHAT_signed(): Return WHAT signed value.
What:
/frame/_memory* (frame, coreaddr, len [, buf]): Extract/return
*memory.
/frame/_register* (frame, regnum [, buf]): extract/return register.
CORE_ADDR /frame/_{pc,sp,...} (frame): Resume address, innner most
stack *address, ...

Old code was trying to use this single method for two conflicting

get_frame_id: A low level frame unique identifier, that consists of
both a stack and a function address, that can be used to uniquely
identify a frame. This value is determined by the frame's
low-level unwinder, the stack part [typically] being the
top-of-stack of the previous frame, and the function part being the
function's start address. Since the correct identification of a
frameless function requires both a stack and function address,
the old get_frame_base method was not sufficient.
get_frame_base_address: get_frame_locals_address:
get_frame_args_address: A set of high-level debug-info dependant

/* Notes (cagney/2002-11-27, drow/2003-09-06):
You might think that calls to this function can simply be replaced by a
call to get_selected_frame().
Unfortunately, it isn't that easy.
The relevant code needs to be audited to determine if it is
possible (or practical) to instead pass the applicable frame in as a
parameter. For instance, DEPRECATED_DO_REGISTERS_INFO() relied on
the deprecated_selected_frame global, while its replacement,
PRINT_REGISTERS_INFO(), is parameterized with the selected frame.
The only real exceptions occur at the edge (in the CLI code) where
user commands need to pick up the selected frame before proceeding.
There are also some functions called with a NULL frame meaning either "the
program is not running" or "use the selected frame".
This is important. GDB is trying to stamp out the hack:
saved_frame = deprecated_safe_get_selected_frame ();
select_frame (...);
hack_using_global_selected_frame ();
select_frame (saved_frame);
Take care!
