While handling "vFile:pread:" packets, gdbserver would read the
number of bytes requested regardless of whether this would fit
into the reply packet. gdbserver would then return a packet's
worth of data and discard the remainder. When accessing large
binaries GDB (via BFD) routinely makes large "vFile:pread:"
requests, resulting in gdbserver allocating large unnecessary
buffers and reading some portions of the file many times over.
This commit causes gdbserver to limit the number of bytes to be
read to a sensible maximum prior to allocating buffers and reading
data.
gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:
* hostio.c (handle_pread): Do not attempt to read more data
than hostio_reply_with_data can fit in a packet.
If a symbol is defined with ".symver foo,foo@VER", the assembler
creates two symbols in the object: one unversioned, and one with
the (non-default) version "VER". If foo is listed in a version
script, gold would then make the first of those symbols the
default version, and would ignore the second symbol as a
duplicate, without making it a non-default version. While this is
arguably reasonable behavior, it doesn't match Gnu ld behavior,
so this patch fixes that by allowing the second definition to
override the first by resetting the "default version" indication.
Several test cases from the Gnu ld testsuite also exposed another
related problem, where a symbol defined with ".symver foo,foo@",
placed into a shared library, is not handled properly by gold.
This patch also fixes that case, binding the symbol to the base
version.

On some older versions of GNU/Linux, gdbserver now fails to build
due to an undefined reference to NT_ARM_VFP. Same issue on Android,

This patch modifies linux-aarch32-low.c to define that macros when
not already defined.

This patch done two types of cleanup:

All TLS local executable relocations and some local dynamic

Within gdb open bfd objects are reused where possible if an attempt is
made to reopen a file that is already being debugged. To spot if the on
disc file has changed gdb currently examines the mtime of the file and
compares it to the mtime of the open bfd in the cache.
A problem exists when the on disc file is being rapidly regenerated, as
happens, for example, with automated testing. In some cases the file is
generated so quickly that the mtime appears not to change, while the on
disc file has changed.
This patch extends the bfd cache to also hold the file size of the file,
the inode of the file, and the device id of the file; gdb can then
compare filename, file size, mtime, inode, and device id to determine if
an existing bfd object can be reused.

One of the build slaves shows this error running explicit.exp:
(gdb) strace -m gdbfoobarbaz
Remote failure reply: E.In-process agent library not loaded in process.
Fast and static tracepoints unavailable.
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.linespec/explicit.exp: strace -m gdbfoobarbaz
There are two big problems with this test:
1) The expected output is actually not what the test is meant to test for.
2) This test should really only run where it is supported.
This is most easily fixed by moving the test to gdb.trace/strace.exp.

The "source centric" /m option to the disassemble command is often
