This applies the second part of GDB's End of Year Procedure, which
updates the copyright year range in all of GDB's files.
gdb/ChangeLog:
Update copyright year range in all GDB files.
Nowadays, functions fprintf, printf and malloc are executed in
gdb.reverse/until-reverse.c, so that it takes much time to record
instructions inside them. This may cause timeout, and we had several
fixes to bump the timeout,

however, I can't figure out how these functions (fprintf, printf and
malloc) are related to the test itself. marker1 is a function from
shared library too so we don't need these complicated libc functions
at all. IMO, recording the instructions in these libc functions has
nothing to do with the test itself except slow down the test. This
patch is to remove the usage of fprintf and printf, and also move
malloc to a dead code path.
gdb/testsuite:
2016-03-30 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: Match function name only.
* gdb.reverse/until-reverse.c (main): Don't call fprintf nor printf.
Move malloc to a condition block.
* gdb.reverse/until-reverse.exp: Match function name only.
The buildbot shows that PPC64 and x86_64 builders, both native and
extended-remote gdbserver frequently timeout these tests.
until-precsave.exp times out on my x86_64 occasionally as well.
Inspecting the logs, we see that if we waited some more, the tests
would pass.
Simply bump until-precsave.exp timeouts further, and apply the same
treatment to step-precsave.exp.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-08-06 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.reverse/step-precsave.exp: Use with_timeout_factor to
increase timeout.
* gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: Bump timeouts.
I see the following two timeout fails on pandaboard (arm-linux target),
FAIL: gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: -location watch against bitfields: continue until exit (timeout)
FAIL: gdb.base/watch-bitfields.exp: regular watch against bitfields: continue until exit (timeout)
In this test, more than one watchpoint is used, so the following
watchpoint requests fall back to software watchpoint, so that GDB
will single step all the way and it is very slow.
This patch is to copy the fix from
[PATCH] GDB/testsuite: Correct gdb.base/watchpoint-solib.exp timeout tweak
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00716.html
I find the left-over of this patch review is to factor out code into
a procedure, so I do that in this patch.
Re-run tests watch-bitfields.exp, watchpoint-solib.exp, sigall-reverse.exp,
and until-precsave.exp on pandaboard, no regression.

They happen for two reasons.
- mingw32 does not define SIGTRAP, so upon recording a core file, the
signal information will be missing, which in turn causes GDB to not
display the stopping signal when it loads the same core file. An
earlier message warns about this:
"warning: Signal SIGTRAP does not exist on this system."
- The testcase is crafted in a way that expects a pattern of the
stopping signal message instead of a successful core file read message.
The following patch fixes this by changing the old pattern to a more
reasonable one, while still ignoring the fact that mingw32-based GDB
does not record a SIGTRAP in a core file because it does not define
it.

In some .exp files it was missed to remove the references to
eye-catchers like "set breakpoint 9 here" when the non-prototype
function header variants they belonged to were deleted. This patch
cleans this up.

Some testcases, mostly gdb.reverse ones, assume the presence of a
'/' directory separator before the source file name. This is
incorrect for mingw32 hosts, generating false failures for those
tests.
I attempted to catch most of the occurrences of the pattern
".*/$srcfile" and replaced them with ".*$srcfile". The latter
is used elsewhere in the testsuite. The resulting patch is attached.
I also see other occurrences of the same assumption throughout the
testsuite, but usually they are arguments for function calls and i
seem to recall either the test harness or GDB deals with those
paths properly.

There are three cases in two scripts in the gdb.reverse subset that
take a particularly long time. Two of them are already attempted to
take care of by extending the timeout from the default. The remaining
one has no precautions taken. The timeout extension is ineffective
though, it is done by adding a constant rather than by scaling and as
a result while it may work for target boards that get satisfied with
the detault test timeout of 10s, it does not serve its purpose for
slower ones.
Here are indicative samples of execution times (in seconds) observed
for these cases respectively, for an ARMv7 Panda board running Linux
and a `-march=armv5te' multilib:
PASS: gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: continue to signal exit
elapsed: 385
PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: run to end of main
elapsed: 4440
PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: save process recfile
elapsed: 965
for the same board and a `-mthumb -march=armv5te' multilib:
PASS: gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: continue to signal exit
elapsed: 465
PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: run to end of main
elapsed: 4191
PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: save process recfile
elapsed: 669
and for QEMU in the system emulation mode and a `-march=armv4t'
multilib:
PASS: gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: continue to signal exit
elapsed: 45
PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: run to end of main
elapsed: 433
PASS: gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: save process recfile
elapsed: 104
Based on the performance of other tests these two test configurations
have their default timeout set to 450s and 60s respectively.
The remaining two multilibs (`-mthumb -march=armv4t' and `-mthumb
-march=armv7-a') do not produce test results usable enough to have data
available for these cases.
Based on these results I have tweaked timeouts for these cases as
follows. This, together with a suitable board timeout setting, removes
timeouts for these cases. Note that for the default timeout of 10s the
new setting for the first case in gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp is
compatible with the old one, just a bit higher to keep the convention
of longer timeouts to remain multiples of 30s. The second case there
does not need such a high setting so I have lowered it a bit to avoid
an unnecessary delay where this test case genuinely times out.
* gdb.reverse/sigall-reverse.exp: Increase the timeout by
a factor of 2 for a slow test case. Take the `gdb,timeout'
target setting into account for this calculation.
* gdb.reverse/until-precsave.exp: Increase the timeout by
a factor of 15 and 3 respectively rather than adding 120
for a pair of slow test cases. Take the `gdb,timeout'
target setting into account for this calculation.
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.
