When reading objects with corrupt debug information it is possible that
the sibling chain can form a loop, which leads to an infinite loop and
memory exhaustion.
Avoid this situation by disregarding and DW_AT_sibling values that point
to a lower address than the current entry.

This patch is to add a test case to on the performance of GDB handling
load and unload of shared library.
In V4:
- Handle malloc and dlopen failure,
- Document test parameters.
In V3, there are some changes,
- Adapt to perf test framework changes.
- Measure load and unload separately.
In V2, there are some changes,
- A new proc gdb_produce_source to produce source files. I tried to
move all source file generation code out of solib.exp, but
compilation step still needs to know the generated file names. I
have to hard-code the file names in compilation step, which is not
good to me, so I give up on this moving.
- SOLIB_NUMBER -> SOLIB_COUNT
- New variable SOLIB_DLCLOSE_REVERSED_ORDER to control the order of
iterating a list of shared libs to dlclose them.
- New variable GDB_PERFORMANCE to enable these perf test cases.
- Remove dlsym call in solib.c.
- Update solib.py for the updated framework.

* lib/gdb.exp (gdb_produce_source): New procedure.
* gdb.perf/solib.c: New.

This patch adds a basic framework to do performance testing for GDB.
perftest.py is about the test case, testresult.py is about test
results, and how are they saved. reporter.py is about how results
are reported (in what format). measure.py is about measuring the
execution of tests by a collection of measurements.
In V5:
- Simplify perftest.exp.
In V4:
- Rename MeasurementCPUTime to MeasurementCpuTime,
- Add 'pass' in empty method,
- Simplify string comparison in perftest.exp.
- Rename GDB_PERFORMANCE to GDB_PERFTEST_MODE and rename
GDB_PERFORMANCE_TIMEOUT to GDB_PERFTEST_TIMEOUT.
In V3, there are some changes,
- Add wall time measurement, cpu time measurement and vmsize
measurement.
- Rename SingleStatisticTestCase to TestCaseWithBasicMeasurements,
which measures cpu time, wall time, and memory (vmsize).
- GDB_PERFORMANCE=run|compile|both to control the mode of perf
testing.
- New GDB_PERFORMANCE_TIMEOUT to specify the timeout.
- Split proc prepare to proc compile and startup.
- Disable GC while doing measurements.
In V2, there are several changes to address Doug and Sanimir's
comments.
- Add copyright header and docstring in perftest/__init__.py
- Remove config.py.
- Fix docstring format.
- Rename classes "SingleVariable" to "SingleStatistic".
- Don't extend gdb.Function in class TestCase. Add a new method run
to run the test case so that we can pass parameters to test.
- Allow to customize whether to warm up and to append test log.
- Move time measurement into test harness. Add a new class
Measurement for a specific measurement and a new class Measure to
measure them for a given test case.
- A new class ResultFactory to create instances of TestResult.
- New file lib/perftest.exp, which is to do some preparations and
cleanups to simplify each *.exp file.
- Skip compilation step if GDB_PERFORMANCE_SKIP_COMPILE is set.

We add a new dir gdb.perf in testsuite for all performance tests.
However, current 'make check' logic will either run dejagnu in
directory testsuite or iterate all gdb.* directories which has *.exp
files. Both of them will run tests in gdb.perf. We want to achieve:
1) typical 'make check' should not run performance tests. In each perf
test case, GDB_PERFTEST_MODE is checked. If it doesn't exist, return.
2) run perf tests easily. We add a new makefile target 'check-perf'.

This switches "make check" to fully parallel mode.
One primary issue facing full parallelization is the overhead of
"runtest". On my machine, if I "touch gdb.base/empty.exp", making a
new file, and then "time runtest.exp", it takes 0.08 seconds.
Multiply this by the 1008 (in my configuration) tests and you get ~80
seconds. This is the overhead that would theoretically be present if
all tests were run in parallel.
However, the problem isn't nearly as bad as this, for two reasons.
First, you must divide by the number of jobs, assuming perfect
parallelization -- reasonably true for small -j numbers, based on the
results I see.
Second, the current test suite parallelization approach bundles the
tests, largely by directory, but also splitting up gdb.base into two
halves.
I was curious to see how the current bundling played out in practice,
so I ran "make -j1 check RUNTEST='/bin/time runtest'". This invokes
the parallel mode (thus the bundling) and then shows the time taken by
each invocation of runtest.
Then, I ran "/bin/time make -j3 check". (See below about -j2.)
The time for the entire -j3 test run was the same as the time for
"gdb.base1". What this means is that gdb.base1 is currently the
time-limiting run, preventing further parallelization gains.
So, I reason, whatever overhead we see from full parallelization will
only be seen by "-j1" and "-j2".
I then tried a -j2 test run. This does take longer than a -j3 build,
meaning that the gdb.base1 job finishes and then proceeds to other
runtest invocations.
Finally I tried a -j2 test run with the appended patch.
This was 9% slower than the -j2 run without the patch.
I think that is a reasonable slowdown for what is probably a rare
case. I believe this patch will yield faster test results for all -j
values greater than 2. For -j3 on my machine, the test suite is a few
seconds faster; I didn't try any larger -j values.
For -j1, I went ahead and changed the Makefile so that, if no -j
option is given, then the "check-single" mode is used. You can still
use "make -j1 check" to get single-job parallel-mode, though of course
there's no good reason to do so.
This change is likely to speed up the plain "make check" scenario a
little as we will now bypass dg-extract-results.sh.
One drawback of this change is that "make -jN check" is now much more
verbose. I generally only look at the .sum and .log files, but
perhaps this will bother some.
Another interesting question is scalability of the result. The
slowest test, which limits the scalability, took 80.78 seconds. The
mean of the remaining tests is 1.08 seconds. (Note that this is just
a rough estimate, since there are still outliers.)
This means we can run 80.78 / 1.08 =~ 74 tests in the time available.
And, in this data set (slightly older than the above, but materially
the same) there were 948 tests. So, I think the current test suite
should scale ok up to about -j12.
We could improve this number if need be by breaking up the biggest
tests.

A few tests run an inferior that execs some other program. The name

argv0-symlink.exp doesn't work properly if standard_output_file puts

Currently a proc in gdb.exp toggles the expect (and thus dejagnu)
logging. This is not a super idea, but it is there to avoid putting
some preprocessor output into the log.
In the right circumstances, this can result in the log file being
mysteriously truncated. I think this happens because it doesn't
necessarily write to the correct log file again.
The fix is to use "log_file -info" to save the previous log file.
