This patch adds the above-mentioned commands to the generic probe
abstraction implemented in probe.[ch]. The effects associated to
enabling or disabling a probe depend on the type of probe being
handled, and is triggered by invoking two back-end hooks in
`probe_ops'.
In case some particular probe type does not support the notion of
enabling and/or disabling, the corresponding fields on `probe_ops' can
be initialized to NULL. This is the case of SystemTap probes.

2015-02-17 Jose E. Marchesi <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>
* stap-probe.c (stap_probe_ops): Add NULLs in the static
stap_probe_ops for `enable_probe' and `disable_probe'.
* probe.c (enable_probes_command): New function.
(disable_probes_command): Likewise.
(_initialize_probe): Define the cli commands `enable probe' and
`disable probe'.
(parse_probe_linespec): New function.
(info_probes_for_ops): Use parse_probe_linespec.
* probe.h (probe_ops): New hooks `enable_probe' and
`disable_probe'.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2015-02-17 Jose E. Marchesi <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>
* gdb.texinfo (Static Probe Points): Cover the `enable probe' and
`disable probe' commands.
A "probe type" (backend for the probe abstraction implemented in
probe.[ch]) can extend the information printed by `info probes' by
defining additional columns. This means that when `info probes' is
used to print all the probes regardless of their types, some of the
columns will be "not applicable" to some of the probes (like, say, the
Semaphore column only makes sense for SystemTap probes). This patch
makes `info probes' fill these slots with "n/a" marks (currently it
breaks the table) and not include headers for which no actual probe
has been found in the list of defined probes.
This patch also adds support for a new generic column "Type", that
displays the type of each probe. SystemTap probes identify themselves
as "stap" probes.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-02-17 Jose E. Marchesi <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>

(info_probes_for_ops): Do not include column headers for probe
types for which no probe has been actually found on any object.
Also invoke `print_ui_out_not_applicables' in order to match the
column rows with the header when probes of several types are
listed.
Print the "Type" column.
* probe.h (probe_ops): Added a new probe operation `type_name'.
* stap-probe.c (stap_probe_ops): Add `stap_type_name'.
(stap_type_name): New function.
This patch is a response to what I commented on:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00046.html>
When reviewing Jose's USDT probe support patches. Basically, in his
patch he had to create dummy functions for the set_semaphore and the
clear_semaphore methods of probe_ops (gdb/probe.h), because those
functions were called inconditionally from inside gdb/breakpoint.c and
gdb/tracepoint.c. However, the semaphore concept may not apply to all
types of probes, and this is the case here: USDT probes do not have
semaphores (although SDT probes do).
Anyway, this is a simple (almost obvious) patch to guard the call to
{set,clear}_semaphore. It does not introduce any regression on a
Fedora 20 x86_64.
I will apply it in a few days in case there is no comment.

* probe.c (info_probes_for_ops): Make "arg" const.
* probe.h (info_probes_for_ops): Update.
This changes the probes to be independent of the program space.
After this, when a probe's address is needed, it is determined by
applying offsets at the point of use.
This introduces a bound_probe object, similar to bound minimal
symbols. Objects of this type are used when it's necessary to pass a
probe and its corresponding objfile.
This removes the backlink from probe to objfile, which was primarily
used to fetch the architecture to use.
This adds a get_probe_address function which calls a probe method to
compute the probe's relocated address. Similarly, it adds an objfile
parameter to the semaphore methods so they can do the relocation
properly as well.

This patch sanitizes the access to gdbarch made by various functions of
the SDT probe API. Before this patch, gdbarch was being accessed via
the probe's objfile; however, this proved to cause a bug on 32-bit ARM
targets because during the parsing of the probe's arguments the code
needed to access some pseudo-registers of the architecture, and this
information is not fully correct on the objfile's gdbarch.
Basically, the approach taken was to instead pass the current/selected
frame to the parsing and evaluation functions, so that they can extract
the gdbarch directly from the frame. It solved the ARM bug reported
above, and also contributed to make the API cleaner.
Tested on x86_64 and 32-bit ARM.
