This is in preparation for the next patch adding Spectre variant 2
mitigation for PowerPC and PowerPC64. Besides tidying code involved
in stub output (to reduce the number of places where bctr is output),
the patch adds some user visible features:
1) PowerPC64 ELFv2 global entry stubs now are aligned under the
control of --plt-align, with a default alignment of 32 bytes.
2) PowerPC64 __glink_PLTresolve is no longer padded out with nops.
3) PowerPC32 PLT stubs are aligned under the control of --plt-align,
with the default alignment being 16 bytes as before.
4) The PowerPC32 branch/nop table emitted before __glink_PLTresolve
is now smaller in many cases. It was sized incorrectly when the
__tls_get_addr_opt stub was used, and unnecessarily included space
for local ifuncs.

In https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-12/msg00215.html, Jan
pointed out that the scalar printing patches caused a regression in
scm-ports.exp on x86.
What happens is that on x86, this:
set sp_reg [get_integer_valueof "\$sp" 0]
... ends up setting sp_reg to a negative value, because
get_integer_valueof uses "print/d":
print /d $sp
$1 = -11496
Then later the test suite does:
gdb_test "guile (print (seek rw-mem-port (value->integer sp-reg) SEEK_SET))" \
"= $sp_reg" \
"seek to \$sp"
... expecting this value to be identical to the saved $sp_reg value.
However it gets:
guile (print (seek rw-mem-port (value->integer sp-reg) SEEK_SET))
= 4294955800
"print" is just a wrapper for guile's format:
gdb_test_no_output "guile (define (print x) (format #t \"= ~A\" x) (newline))"
The seek function returns a scm_t_off, the printing of which is
handled by guile, not by gdb.
Tested on x86-64 Fedora 26 using an ordinary build and also a -m32
build.

PR 22042 complained that garbage text was being printed in the help
for the -fuse-ld option; this was caused by passing an empty string
to the gettext() function, which sometimes returns garbage when passed
an empty string. The quick fix was to replace "" with NULL as the helparg,
but that changed the parsing of the option, as gold uses the helparg to
determine whether an option takes an argument. This patch adds a
non-empty helparg string to fix both problems.

Armv8-M Security Extensions introduced some Thumb-only opcodes

Deprecations related to the use of the IT instruction introduced in
Armv8-A do not apply to Armv8-M Baseline and mainline. However the
warning logic do not distinguish between the various profiles and warn
whenever the architecture version is 8.
This patch adds a check to exclude M profile architectures from this
warning. This works as expected when -march is specified on the
command-line or a .arch/.cpu directive exist. However, in autodetection
mode the CPU/architecture targeted is only known once the instructions
have been all processed but this code is run when IT instruction is
processed. It is therefore not possible to distinguish between Armv8-M
and Armv8-A in that mode.
The approach chosen here is not to warn in autodetection mode. The udf.d
testcase that relied on that behavior to test deprecation warning for
Armv8-A is therefore updated to explicitely pass -march=armv8-a.

This adds a testcase for the previous commit. The regression was
related to in-line step overs. The reason we didn't see it on native
x86-64/s390 GNU/Linux testing is that native debugging uses displaced
stepping by default (because native debugging defaults to "maint set
target-non-stop on"), unlike remote debugging.
So in order to trigger the bug with native debugging as well, the
testcase disables displaced stepping explicitly.
Also, instead of using watchpoints to trigger the regression, the
testcase uses a breakpoint at address 0, which should be more
portable.

Since this commit --
Fix PR18360 - internal error when using "interrupt -a"
(https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=c65d6b55)
-- the testsuite shows long delays on s390 with native-gdbserver when
executing certain tests, such as watchpoints.exp. These hangs have been
discussed before in the context of buildbot problems, see here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-12/msg00413.html
The problem can easily be triggered by stopping on a breakpoint, then
setting impossible watchpoints, and finally doing "continue". Then, after
having set the step-over state (in keep_going_pass_signal in infrun.c),
GDB tries to insert breakpoints and watchpoints into the inferior. This
fails, and the "continue" command is aborted. But the step-over state is
not cleared in this case, which causes future step-over attempts to be
skipped since GDB thinks that "we already have an in-line step-over
operation ongoing" (see start_step_over in infrun.c). Thus the next
"continue" just goes on to wait for events from the remote, which will
never occur.
The problem can also be reproduced on amd64 with native-gdbserver, using
the following change to watchpoints.exp:
-- >8 --
--- a/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/watchpoints.exp
+++ b/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/watchpoints.exp
@@ -61,2 +61,3 @@ with_test_prefix "before inferior start" {
gdb_test "watch ival3" ".*" ""
+ gdb_test "watch *(char \[256\] *) main"
-- >8 --
To fix the hang, this patch clears the step-over info when
insert_breakpoints has failed. Of course, with native-gdbserver the
watchpoints.exp test case still causes many FAILs on s390, because
gdbserver does not support watchpoints for that target. This is a
separate issue.

When processing a section that is a member of a group, the group
that contains it is looked up using a linear search. The resulting

the next search from that index, the search instead becomes O(n)

Occasionally I build an out-of-tree a.out target (m68k-amigaos). After
a system upgrade which included a newer compiler (clang 4) the build
produces warnings like this:
warning: macro expansion producing 'defined' has undefined behavior
[-Wexpansion-to-defined]
This is caused by the macro gas/config/aout_gnu.h:USE_EXTENDED_RELOC.
Since it is in a header file, the warning triggers for several files.
I am unsure what solution is preferable, thus I am suggesting two
patches:
a) keep the offending macro but define it explicitly to 0 and 1
b) replace the macro usage with its value where it is used.
Either patch removes the warning for clang. I did not check with a
recent GCC.
* gas/config/aout_gnu.h (USE_EXTENDED_RELOC): Explicitly
define to 0 and 1. Remove a dangling reference to "AMD 29000"

Currently we have no obvious way to revert the action of the "-z defs"
command line option. The "--unresolved-symbols=ignore-in-object-files"
does pretty much what is needed, but it is non-obvious and it also
touches the setting for reporting unresolved symbol references from
shared libraries. So I am proposing adding a "-z undefs" option to be
the inverse of "-z defs". (I thought that "-z nodefs" might be
confusing since it implies banning all definitions, rather than
allowing them).
In addition the description of the "-z defs" option in the linker
documentation is misleading in one place, where it says:
'defs'
Disallows undefined symbols in object files. Undefined
symbols in shared libraries are still allowed.
whereas later on it gets it right:
'-z defs'
Report unresolved symbol references from regular object files.
This is done even if the linker is creating a non-symbolic shared
library. The switch '--[no-]allow-shlib-undefined' controls the
behaviour for reporting unresolved references found in shared
libraries being linked in.

Trying to use gdb_compile_shlib with the shlib= option to build a shared
library that depends on another shared library does not work as of
today. See:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-10/msg00733.html
The problem is that building the lib is done in two steps, compilation
(.c -> .o) and linking (.o -> .so) and the shlib= options are passed to
both steps. When compiling the object file (.o), it results in gcc
complaining:
gcc: warning: .../solib-vanish-lib2.so: linker input file unused because linking not done
The first solution I came up with was to filter the options inside
gdb_compile_shlib to remove the shlib= options from the options we pass
when compiling the .o file.
I then thought it would be simpler to ignore the shlib= options in
gdb_compile when not building an executable (the executable category
includes the shared libraries). For other compilation types (object
file, preprocess and generate assembly), it doesn't make sense to add
shared libraries to the source file list.
Regtested on the buildbot.
