This commit applies all changes made after running the gdb/copyright.py
script.
Note that one file was flagged by the script, due to an invalid
copyright header
(gdb/unittests/basic_string_view/element_access/char/empty.cc).
As the file was copied from GCC's libstdc++-v3 testsuite, this commit
leaves this file untouched for the time being; a patch to fix the header
was sent to gcc-patches first.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Consider the test-case from this patch, compiled with O0.
The executable segfaults, and generates a core dump:
...
$ ./a.out
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
...
When loading the core file, limiting stack size to 4MB, gdb crashes:
...
$ ulimit -s 4096
$ gdb -batch ./a.out core.saved
[New LWP 19379]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
...
The crash originates here in linux_vsyscall_range_raw, where we call alloca
with phdrs_size == 4194112 (roughly 4MB):
...
phdrs = (Elf_Internal_Phdr *) alloca (phdrs_size);
...
While for this test-case gdb runs fine with the system default stack limit of
8MB, there are cases reported of 12MB phdrs_size where gdb also crashes with
the system default stack limit.
Fix this by using xmalloc instead of alloca, which prevents the crash provided
the stack limit is at least 112kb.
Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.

* linux-tdep.c (linux_vsyscall_range_raw): Use xmalloc to allocate
program headers.
* gdb.base/many-headers.c: New test.
* gdb.base/many-headers.exp: New file.
