* symfile.c (generic_load): Use bfd_map_over_sections method
instead of manipulating bfd structure members directly.

used by generic_load.
(load_sections_callback): New function, bfd sections callback
used by generic_load.
[Based on work by Jim Blandy]
* gdbtypes.h (builtin_type_v16qi, builtin_type_v8hi): Export.
(builtin_type_vec128): Export.
* gdbtypes.c (builtin_type_v16qi, builtin_type_v8hi): New SIMD
types.
(builtin_type_vec128): New builtin type for 128 bit vector
registers.
(build_gdbtypes): Initialize builtin_type_v16qi and
builtin_type_v8hi. Create the vec128 register builtin type
structure.
(build_builtin_type_vec128): New function.
(_initialize_gdbtypes): Register builtin_type_v16qi and
builtin_type_v8hi with gdbarch. Same for builtin_type_vec128.
* rs6000-tdep.c (rs6000_register_virtual_type): Change type of
AltiVec register to new builtin type.
* linux-proc.c (linux_do_thread_registers): Ignore fpxregs
until we can resolve portability issues.
* gregset.h: Remove references to fpxregs.
* gcore.c (gcore_command): Initialize note_sec to NULL.
errors evaluating the object before attempting to set its
value.
value_cast now properly adjusts VALUE_ADDRESS for baseclasses,
so this offset adjustment is no longer necessary.
(create_child): Don't set the error flag if the child is
a CPLUS_FAKE_CHILD.
(value_of_child): If value_fetch_lazy fails, return NULL
so that callers will be notified that an error occurred.
(c_value_of_variable): Delay check of variable's validity
until later. We actually want all structs and unions to have
the value "{...}".
Do not return "???" for variables which could not be evaluated.
This error condition must be returned to the caller so that it
can get the error condition from gdb.
(cplus_name_of_child): Adjust index for vptr before figuring
out the name of the child.
(cplus_value_of_child): If a child's (real) parent is not valid,
don't even bother trying to give a value for it. Just return
an error. Change all instances in this function.
(cplus_type_of_child): If our parent is one of the "fake"
parents, we need to get at the type of the real parent, and
derive the child's true type using this information.
* symfile.c (generic_load): Whitespace and long line cleanups.
Remove duplicate variable, change several local variables to
more appropriate data types.
(print_transfer_performance): Use %lu instead of %ld for ulongs.
DW_TAG_string_type (this is acceptable under the current DWARF 2.1/3.0
standard.)
2) In read_tag_string_type(), a fix for FORTRAN that propagates the
first string length to all string types. This is important as FORTRAN
strings are not delimited as in C/C++.
3) Handling of the DW_LANG_Fortran95.
* main.c (captured_main): Add new command line option "--pid".
If the second command line argument (following the symbol-file)
begins with a digit, try to attach to it before trying to open
it as a corefile.
(print_gdb_help): Document the "--pid" argument.
Implement a "generate-core-file" command in gdb, save target state.
* gcore.c: New file. Implement new command 'generate-core-file'.
Save a corefile image of the current state of the inferior.
* linux-proc.c: Add linux-specific code for saving corefiles.
* target.h (struct target_ops): Add new target vectors for saving
corefiles; to_find_memory_regions and to_make_corefile_notes.
(target_find_memory_regions): New macro.
(target_make_corefile_notes): New macro.
* target.c (update_current_target): Inherit new target methods.
(dummy_find_memory_regions): New place-holder method.
(dummy_make_corefile_notes): New place-holder method.
(init_dummy_target): Initialize new dummy target vectors.
* exec.c (exec_set_find_memory_regions): New function.
Allow the exec_ops vector for memory regions to be taken over.
(exec_make_note_section): New function, target vector method.
* defs.h (exec_set_find_memory_regions): Export prototype.
* procfs.c (proc_find_memory_regions): New function, corefile method.
(procfs_make_note_section): New function, corefile method.
(init_procfs_ops): Set new target vector pointers.
(find_memory_regions_callback): New function.
(procfs_do_thread_registers): New function.
(procfs_corefile_thread_callback): New function.
* sol-thread.c (sol_find_memory_regions): New function.
(sol_make_note_section): New function.
(init_sol_thread_ops): Initialize new target vectors.
* inftarg.c (inftarg_set_find_memory_regions): New function.
Allow to_find_memory_regions vector to be taken over.
(inftarg_set_make_corefile_notes): New function.
Allow to_make_corefile_notes vector to be taken over.
* thread-db.c (thread_db_new_objfile): Don't activate thread-db
interface layer if not target_has_execution (may be a corefile).
* config/i386/linux.mh: Add gcore.o to NATDEPFILES.
* config/sparc/sun4sol2.mh: Ditto.
* config/alpha/alpha-linux.mh: Ditto.
* config/arm/linux.mh: Ditto.
* config/i386/x86-64linux.mh: Ditto.
* config/ia64/linux.mh: Ditto.
* config/m68k/linux.mh: Ditto.

* config/powerpc/linux.mh: Ditto.
* config/sparc/linux.mh: Ditto.
* infptrace.c (GDB_MAX_ALLOCA): New define.
(child_xfer_memory): Use xmalloc/xfree instead of alloca if the
size of the buffer exceeds GDB_MAX_ALLOCA (default 1 megabyte,
can be overridden with whatever value is appropriate to the host).
* infttrace.c (child_xfer_memory): Add FIXME warning about use of
alloca to allocate potentially large buffer.
* rs6000-nat.c (child_xfer_memory): Ditto.
* symm-nat.c (child_xfer_memory): Ditto.
* x86-64-linux-nat.c (child_xfer_memory): Ditto.
