Occasionaly we hear about people having problems with GDB not being
able to start programs (with "run"/"start"). GDB spawns a shell to
start the program, and most often, it'll be the case that the problem
is actually with the user's shell setup.
GDB has code to disable the use of the shell to start programs.
That's the STARTUP_WITH_SHELL macro that native targets could set to 0
in their nm.h file (though no target actually uses it nowadays).
This patch makes that setting a run-time knob instead. This will be
useful to quickly diagnose such shell issues, and might also come in
handy at other times (such as when debugging the shell itself, if you
don't have a different shell handy).

Two modifications:
1. The addition of 2013 to the copyright year range for every file;
2. The use of a single year range, instead of potentially multiple
year ranges, as approved by the FSF.
This function is used as a target_ops callback. The function
implemention was recently changed, but the declaration wasn't
updated accordingly.
This fixes a build failure on Solaris.

The procfs_address_to_host_pointer function was not used outside of
alpha-tru64, and thus was triggering a compiler warning. Adjusted
accordingly.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* procfs.c (procfs_address_to_host_pointer): Only define when used.
The function proc_find_memory_regions calls iterate_over_mappings as
follow:
> return iterate_over_mappings (pi, func, data,
> find_memory_regions_callback);
The problem is that both func and find_memory_regions_callback
do not match the profile expected by iterate_over_mappings:
> iterate_over_mappings (procinfo *pi, int (*child_func) (), void *data,
> int (*func) (struct prmap *map,
> int (*child_func) (),
> void *data))
We cannot change proc_find_memory_regions such that FUNC is a pointer
to a function that takes no argument (in place of the 6 that it has).
This is because proc_find_memory_regions is used as a target_ops method.
However, it turns out that changing iterate_over_mappings to conform
to the profile imposed by the target_ops vector is possible without
much effort.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* procfs.c (iterate_over_mappings_cb_ftype): New typedef.
(iterate_over_mappings): Adjust function profile. Add declaration.
(insert_dbx_link_bpt_in_region, info_mappings_callback):
Adjust accordingly.
There are currently 2 issues with the placement of this routine:
- It's defined after it is being used (causing an implicit declaration);
- It looks like it's being defined all the time, whereas it is used
only on mips-irix (AFAICT) - shouldn't have this triggered a warning
on sparc-solaris, for instance???
In any case, this patch moves this function up, inside the right region,
just before the function where it is actually used.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* procfs.c (solib_mappings_callback): Move function up to avoid
a compiler warning.
These two functions are only used from procfs_make_note_section, which
itself is only defined if:
#if defined (UNIXWARE) || defined (PIOCOPENLWP) || defined (PCAGENT)
So these two functions are unused on mips-irix, and they get flagged
by -Wunused-function. This patch simply moves these functions closer
to the function that uses them, which also has the effect of putting
them inside the same #if block as procfs_make_note_section. Thus
they are defined only when used.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* procfs.c (find_signalled_thread, find_stop_signal): Move
these functions down to define them only when used.
* procfs.c (insert_dbx_link_breakpoint): Delete declaration. Move up.
Only define if SYS_syssgi is defined.
