This change addresses a regression in gdb.dwarf2/dw2-skip-prologue.exp
across MIPS16 multilibs:

warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x4006dd.
GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x4006dd
and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack frame.
This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
the frames below it.
This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or
stack pointer.
However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back
from 0x4006dd for code which looks like the beginning of a
function, you can increase the range of the search using the `set
heuristic-fence-post' command.
Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
0x0040072b in main ()
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-skip-prologue.exp: continue to breakpoint: func
-- notice the breakpoint adjustment messages that are already a bad
sign. These happen when a breakpoint is requested in a branch delay
slot and are not supposed to happen unless explicitly requested with an
address pointing to a branch delay slot instruction. No symbol or line
debug information is supposed to direct GDB to place a breakpoint in a
delay slot.
Here's how `main' looks like:
00400718 <main>:
400718: 64f5 save 40,ra,s0-s1
40071a: 1a00 01a8 jal 4006a0 <func>
40071e: 0104 addiu s1,sp,16
400720: 1a00 01b7 jal 4006dc <func+0x3c>
400724: 6702 move s0,v0
400726: e049 addu v0,s0,v0
400728: 65b9 move sp,s1
40072a: 6473 restore 24,ra,s0-s1
40072c: e8a0 jrc ra
40072e: 6500 nop
-- so 0x400725 is the MIPS16 instruction address of the first MOVE
instruction seen above, in a delay slot of the preceding JAL instruction
indeed. This test case arranges for `main' to have no debug information
so it is one of the heuristic prologue scanners, `mips16_scan_prologue'
specifically in this case, that is responsible for finding the right
location for the breakpoint to place.
In this case the prologue really ends with the ADDIU instruction,
reordered into the delay slot of the first JAL instruction. Of course
we can't place the breakpoint for `main' after it as by doing so we'll
let `func' to be called before hitting this breakpoint. So the
breakpoint has to go at the JAL instruction instead, or 0x40071b.
To make a general case out of it we must never consider any jump or
branch instruction to be a part of a function's prologue. In the
presence of a jump or branch at the beginning of a function the furthest
instruction examined for the purpose of constructing frame information
can be one in the delay slot of that jump or branch if present, and
otherwise -- that is when the jump or branch is compact and has no delay
slot -- the instruction immediately preceding the jump or branch.
This change implements that approach across prologue scanners for the
three instruction ISAs. In implementing it I have factored out code
from the existing `*_instruction_has_delay_slot' handlers to be shared
and a side effect for the microMIPS implementation is it now always
fetches the second 16-bit halfword of 32-bit instructions even if it
eventually is not going to be needed. I think it's an acceptable
tradeoff for the purpose of code sharing.
To make things more consistent I also carried logic from
`micromips_scan_prologue' over to the other two scanners to accept (and
ignore) a single non-prologue non-control transfer instruction reordered
by the compiler into the prologue. While doing this I simplified the
exit path from the scan loop such that `end_prologue_addr' is set only
once. This made some concerns expressed in comments no longer
applicable, although even before they were not valid.
I have not fixed the logic around `load_immediate_bytes' in
`mips32_scan_prologue' though, it remains broken, although I took care
not to break it more. An approach similar to one taken for handling
larger stack adjustments in `micromips_scan_prologue' will have to be
eventually implemented here.
For regression testing I used my usual choice of the mips-linux-gnu
target and the following multilibs:
-EB
-EB -msoft-float
-EB -mips16
-EB -mips16 -msoft-float
-EB -mmicromips
-EB -mmicromips -msoft-float
-EB -mabi=n32
-EB -mabi=n32 -msoft-float
-EB -mabi=64
-EB -mabi=64 -msoft-float
and the -EL variants of same.
That removed gdb.dwarf2/dw2-skip-prologue.exp failures across MIPS16
multilibs, the test log now shows:

So the breakpoint at `main' was actually set at an instruction after the
call to `symful+0x18' aka `symless' and the test only passed because
single-stepping through `symless' wasn't actually done at all. With
this change in place this test fails for MIPS16 multilibs consistently
with all the other multilibs where it already failed in this manner
previously.

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.
