The following patch fixed the assembly / disassembly of the rfebb instruction:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2015-06/msg00190.html
This patch updates the gdb testsuite to match the new disassembly behavior.

* gdb.arch/powerpc-power.exp <rfebb>: Fixup test results.
* gdb.arch/powerpc-power.s <rfebb>: Likewise.
Since --trace-debug is for people hacking on the sim sources rather than
people just using the sim, default it to off. This matches the behavior
of other debug knobs we have.
have_ptrace_getregset is a tri-state variable (-1, 0, 1), and we have
some conditions like "if (have_ptrace_getregset)", which is not correct.
I'll explain why it is not correct in the following example. This fix
to this problem to replace the test (have_ptrace_getregset) to test
(have_ptrace_getregset == 1) or (have_ptrace_getregset == -1) etc.
However Doug thinks it hinders readability
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-05/msg00692.html so I decide
to add a new enum tribool and change have_ptrace_getregset to it, in
order to make these tests more readable.
have_ptrace_getregset is initialised to -1, and is adjusted to 0 or 1 in
$ARCH_linux_read_description according to the capability of the kernel.
However, it is possible that have_ptrace_getregset is used before it is
set to 0 or 1, which means it is still -1. This is shown below.

ISA 2.07 added a new category called Elemental Memory Barriers that modifies
the sync instruction to accept an additional operand ESYNC. Edmar added
support for this insruction varient here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2012-02/msg00221.html
Looking at this closer, I see that the insert_ls() function is misnamed
(since it's attached to the ESYNC operand, not the LS operand) but more
importantly, it is silently modifying the LS operand value behind the
users back when the LS operand is either invalid or is incompatible with
the new ESYNC operand. The ISA 2.07 doc has an Assembler Note that clearly
states that assemblers that support the ESYNC operand should report all
invalid uses of LS and ESYNC. This patch changes the assembler to
error out on invalid and incompatible operand usage.

ISA 2.07 (ie, POWER8) added the rfebb instruction which takes one operand
with the value of either a 0 or 1. It also defines an extended mnemonic
with no operands (ie, "rfebb") that is supposed to be equivalent to "rfebb 1".
I implemented rfebb's lone operand with PPC_OPERAND_OPTIONAL, but the
problem is, optional operands that are ommitted always default to the
value 0, which is wrong in this case. I have added support for allowing
non-zero default values by adding an additional flag PPC_OPERAND_OPTIONAL_VALUE
that specifies that the default operand value to be used is stored in the
SHIFT field of the operand field immediately following this one.
This fixes the rfebb issue. I also fixed the mftb and mfcr instructions
so they use the same mechanism. This allows us to flag invalid uses of
mfcr where we explicitly pass in a zero FXM value, like the use in a2.[sd].

Since we always include the raw syscall number when tracing, also
including it in the name when it's unknown is redundant. Simplify
the code by using a constant string.
The new helpers for walking the maps tested the wrong value for exiting
the for loop. This caused crashes when looking up entries that were not
in the map.
Some simulators don't handle permanent breakpoints properly and will
sometimes terminate when hitting such a breakpoint instruction or have
unwanted effects.
When a permanent breakpoint is inserted, GDB will not attempt to insert
other breakpoint locations on top of it, leading to the problem described
above.
By not marking permanent breakpoint locations as inserted, we allow the
insertion of breakpoint locations on top of the permanent ones, preventing
the simulators from running into that situation.

When GDB reads a nonsensical value for the GDBHISTSIZE environment
variable, i.e. one that is non-numeric or negative, GDB then sets its
history size to 0. This behavior is annoying and also inconsistent
with the behavior of bash.
This patch makes the behavior of invalid GDBHISTSIZE consistent with how
bash handles HISTSIZE. When we encounter a null or out-of-range
GDBHISTSIZE (outside of [0, INT_MAX]) we now set the history size to
unlimited instead of 0. When we encounter a non-numeric GDBHISTSIZE we
do nothing.

The HISTSIZE environment variable is generally expected to be read by
shells, not by applications. Some distros for example globally export
HISTSIZE in /etc/profile -- with the intention that it only affects
shells -- and by doing so it renders useless GDB's own mechanism for
setting the history size via .gdbinit. Also, annoyances may arise when
HISTSIZE is not interpreted the same way by the shell and by GDB, e.g.
PR gdb/16999. That can always be fixed on a shell-by-shell basis but it
may be impossible to be consistent with the behavior of all shells at
once. Finally it just makes sense to not confound shell environment
variables with application environment variables.

Many ports have the same sim syscall logic, so add some helpers to handle
all the common details. The arches still have to deal with the unpacking
and packing of the syscall arguments, but the rest of the sim<->callback
glue is now shared.
When tracing, we often want to display the human readable name for the
various syscall/errno values. Rather than make each target duplicate
the lookup, extend the existing maps to include the string directly,
and add helper functions to look up the constants.
While most targets are autogenerated (from libgloss), the bfin/cris
targets have custom maps for the Linux ABI which need to be updated
by hand.

We still do not handle "set history size unlimited" correctly. In
particular, after writing to the history file, we truncate the history
even if it is unlimited.
This patch makes sure that we do not call history_truncate_file() if the
history is not stifled (i.e. if it's unlimited). This bug causes the
history file to be truncated to zero on exit when one has "set history
size unlimited" in their gdbinit file. Although this code exists in GDB
7.8, the bug is masked by a pre-existing bug that's been only fixed in
GDB 7.9 (PR gdb/17820).

So far the gnu_vector test was limited to "static" aspects of GDB's
vector support, like evaluating vector-valued expressions. This patch
enriches the test and adds checks for GDB's vector ABI support as well.
The new checks particularly verify inferior function calls with vector
arguments and GDB's handling of vector return values.
The test now attempts to compile for the target's "native" architecture,
such that a hardware vector ABI is used if available.
Since GDB has no vector ABI support for x86 and x86_64 targets, most of
the new checks are KFAILed there.

This patch adds the ability to automatically construct a section name
based on the prior section.
When gas is invoked with --sectname-subst, the occurrence of %S in a
section name will be substituted by the name of the current section. For
example:
.macro exception_code
.pushsection %S.exception
[exception code here]
.popsection
.endm
.text
[code]
exception_code
[...]
.section .init
[init code]
exception_code
[...]
The first and second exception_code invocations create the
.text.exception and the .init.exception sections respectively. This is
useful e.g. to discriminate between anciliary sections that are tied to
.init code and can be discarded at run time when initialization is over
vs anciliary sections tied to .text sections that need to stay resident.

In some cases tui_show_frame_info() may get called while the inferior's
terminal settings are still in effect. But when we call this function
we absolutely need to have our terminal settings in effect because the
function is responsible for redrawing TUI's windows following a change
in the selected frame or a change in the PC. If our terminal settings
are not in effect, the screen does not get redrawn properly, causing
temporary display artifacts (which can be fixed via ^L).
This scenario happens most prominently when stepping through a program
in TUI while a watchpoint is in effect.
Here is an example backtrace for when tui_show_frame_info() gets called
while target_terminal_is_inferior() == 1:
#1 0x00000000004988ee in tui_selected_frame_level_changed_hook (level=0)
#2 0x0000000000617b99 in select_frame (fi=0x18c9820)

#8 0x000000000053596e in handle_inferior_event_1 (ecs=0x7ffea7884ac0)
The fix is simple: call target_terminal_ours_for_output() before calling
tui_show_frame_info() in TUI's frame-changed hook, making sure to
restore the original terminal settings afterwards.
