Pedro Alves 3aafd2ffb6 [gdbserver] Fix trace-buffer-size.exp FAILs.
I'm seeing trace-buffer-size.exp failing (with gdbserver):

  (gdb) PASS: gdb.trace/trace-buffer-size.exp: tstatus check 2
  show trace-buffer-size 4
  Requested size of trace buffer is 4.
  (gdb) PASS: gdb.trace/trace-buffer-size.exp: show trace buffer size
  set trace-buffer-size -1
  memory clobbered past end of allocated block
  Remote connection closed
  (gdb) FAIL: gdb.trace/trace-buffer-size.exp: set trace buffer size 2
  set trace-buffer-size unlimited
  (gdb) PASS: gdb.trace/trace-buffer-size.exp: set trace-buffer-size unlimited

That "memory clobbered past end of allocated block" is mcheck triggering.

Valgrind shows:

  ==23624== Invalid write of size 1
  ==23624==    at 0x418DD8: clear_trace_buffer (tracepoint.c:1443)
  ==23624==    by 0x418F3A: init_trace_buffer (tracepoint.c:1497)
  ==23624==    by 0x41D95B: cmd_bigqtbuffer_size (tracepoint.c:4061)
  ==23624==    by 0x41DEEC: handle_tracepoint_general_set (tracepoint.c:4193)

clear_trace_buffer does:

  static void
  clear_trace_buffer (void)
  {
    trace_buffer_start = trace_buffer_lo;
    trace_buffer_free = trace_buffer_lo;
    trace_buffer_end_free = trace_buffer_hi;
    trace_buffer_wrap = trace_buffer_hi;
    /* A traceframe with zeroed fields marks the end of trace data.  */
    ((struct traceframe *) trace_buffer_free)->tpnum = 0;
    ((struct traceframe *) trace_buffer_free)->data_size = 0;
    traceframe_read_count = traceframe_write_count = 0;
    traceframes_created = 0;
  }

And the tpnum+data_size fields are over 4 bytes...  This fixes it by
ensuring we allocate space at least for an EOB.  We have code
elsewhere that relies on the EOB being present (like e.g.,
find_traceframe), so this seems simplest.

	* tracepoint.c (TRACEFRAME_EOB_MARKER_SIZE): New macro.
	(init_trace_buffer): Ensure at least TRACEFRAME_EOB_MARKER_SIZE is
	allocated.
	(trace_buffer_alloc): Use TRACEFRAME_EOB_MARKER_SIZE.

		   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.
