propagation.

This fixes a regression that Jan pointed out.
The bug is that some names were allocated by dwarf2read on the objfile
obstack, but then passed to SYMBOL_SET_NAMES with copy_name=0. This
violates the invariant that the names must have a lifetime tied to the
lifetime of the BFD.
The fix is to allocate names on the per-BFD obstack.
I looked at all callers, direct or indirect, of SYMBOL_SET_NAMES that
pass copy_name=0. Note that only the ELF and DWARF readers do this;
other symbol readers were never updated (and perhaps cannot be,
depending on the details of the formats). This is why the patch is
relatively small.
Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 20.

In arm-tdep.c, arm_skip_stub is installed to gdbarch
skip_trampoline_code, but in arm-linux-tdep.c,
find_solib_trampoline_target is installed to skip_trampoline_code.
That means gdb configured for arm-linux target doesn't recognize some
arm specific trampolines or stubs. Beside handling generic solib
trampoline, gdb for arm-linux target should be able to handle arm
specific trampolines. This patch is to skip arm specific stubs, if
any, and as a fallback, skip the generic solib trampoline.

In target arm-none-eabi, prologue unwinder is used for trampoline
'bx reg'. However, in target arm-linux, exidx unwinder is selected for
trampoline at first, which is not expected. The main function and the
trampoline is,
0x00009dfc <main+0>: push {r4, r5, r6, r7, lr}
......
0x0000ac30 <main+3636>: ldrdeq r3, [r1], -r8
0x0000ac34: bx r2
0x0000ac36: bx r4
and .ARM.exidx is:
0x9dfc <main>: @0xb404
Compact model index: 1
0x97 vsp = r7
0x20 vsp = vsp + 132
0x3f vsp = vsp + 256
0x80 0xf0 pop {r8, r9, r10, r11}
0xab pop {r4, r5, r6, r7, r14}
0xac38 <__aeabi_drsub>: 0x1 [cantunwind]
Trampolines 'bx r2' and 'bx r4' doesn't belong to main, but the exidx
for main is still selected form them because there is no end address
of each exidx entry.
Instead of teaching exidx unwinder ignore this trampoline (which looks
complicated and error prone), I decide to let stub unwinder to handle
trampoline, because stub undwinder is installed before exidx unwinder,
and this trampoline can be regarded as a stub too.
This patch is to add the code to match 'bx reg' trampoline in the
sniffer of stub unwinder.

Couldn't write debug register: Invalid argument.
(gdb)
In the example above the debug registers are being switched from this
state:
CONTROL (DR7): 0000000000050101 STATUS (DR6): 0000000000000000
DR0: addr=0x0000000000601040, ref.count=1 DR1: addr=0x0000000000000000, ref.count=0
DR2: addr=0x0000000000000000, ref.count=0 DR3: addr=0x0000000000000000, ref.count=0
to this:
CONTROL (DR7): 0000000000010101 STATUS (DR6): 0000000000000000
DR0: addr=0x0000000000601041, ref.count=1 DR1: addr=0x0000000000000000, ref.count=0
DR2: addr=0x0000000000000000, ref.count=0 DR3: addr=0x0000000000000000, ref.count=0
That is, before, DR7 was setup for watching a 2 byte region starting
at what's in DR0 (0x601040).
And after, DR7 is setup for watching a 1 byte region starting at
what's in DR0 (0x601041).
We always write DR0..DR3 before DR7, because if we enable a slot's
bits in DR7, you need to have already written the corresponding
DR0..DR3 registers -- the kernel rejects the DR7 write with EINVAL
otherwise.
The error shown above is the opposite scenario. When we try to write
0x601041 to DR0, DR7's bits still indicate intent of watching a 2-byte
region. That DR0/DR7 combination is invalid, because 0x601041 is
unaligned. To watch two bytes, we'd have to use two slots. So the
kernel errors out with EINVAL.
Fix this by always first clearing DR7, then writing DR0..DR3, and then
setting DR7's bits.
A little optimization -- if we're disabling the last watchpoint, then
we can clear DR7 just once. The changes to nat/i386-dregs.c make that
easier to detect, and as bonus, they make it a little easier to make
sense of DR7 in the debug logs, as we no longer need to remember we're
seeing stale bits.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20, native and GDBserver.
This adds an exhaustive test that switches between many different
combinations of watchpoint types and addresses and widths.

The recent libiberty patch caused issues when cross building

2014-06-19 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com>
* gdbthread.h (any_running): Remove the declaration.
* thread.c (any_running): Remove.
This patch is to change field state's type to 'enum thread_state', and
replace RUNNING with THREAD_RUNNING and STOPPED with THREAD_STOPPED
respectively in comments.

* gdbthread.h (struct thread_info) <state>: Change its type to
'enum thread_state'. Update comments.
Running gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp with scheduler-locking set to
"step" reveals a problem:

Quit this debugging session? (y or n) FAIL: gdb.threads/thread-execl.exp: schedlock step: get to main in new image (GDB internal error)
The assertion is correct. The issue is that GDB is mistakenly trying
to switch back to an exited thread, that was previously stepping when
it exited. This is exactly the sort of thing the test wants to make
sure doesn't happen:
# Now set a breakpoint at `main', and step over the execl call. The
# breakpoint at main should be reached. GDB should not try to revert
# back to the old thread from the old image and resume stepping it
We don't see this bug with schedlock off only because a different
sequence of events makes GDB manage to delete the thread instead of
marking it exited.
This particular internal error can be fixed by making the loop over
all threads in switch_back_to_stepped_thread skip exited threads.
But, looking over other ALL_THREADS users, all either can or should be
skipping exited threads too. So for simplicity, this patch replaces
ALL_THREADS with a new macro that skips exited threads itself, and
updates everything to use it.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 20.
