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)

restore the original terminal settings afterwards.

* Introduce definition of addressable memory unit in the Memory

This patch modifies the manual to clarify the MI, RSP and Python APIs in
regard to reading/writing memory on architectures with addressable
memory unit that are not 8 bits.
Care is taken to use the word "addressable memory unit" or "memory unit"
when referring to one piece of the smallest addressable size on the
current architecture and the word "byte" when referring to an 8-bits
data piece.

This promotes BFD's struct elf_build_id to the generic struct bfd_build_id,

There is currently no generic way to extract the build-id from an object file,
perhaps an option to objdump to do this might make sense?

Replace __COPY_CONTEXT_SIZE conditional with __CYGWIN__
__COPY_CONTEXT_SIZE was added to Cygwin's headers in 2006.
Versions of Cygwin which don't define __COPY_CONTEXT_SIZE are long obsolete.
Also see the thread starting at
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00989.html for some discussion
Note that __COPY_CONTEXT_SIZE should just be sizeof(CONTEXT) (which is a
platform constant), but isn't due to historical mistakes in Cygwin headers.

out_debug_aranges uses frag_align to make sure the addresses start
out aligned. Using frag_align will call frag_var[_init], which will
end up calling TC_FRAG_INIT. On arm and aarch64 TC_FRAG_INIT will
generate a $d mapping symbol for the .debug_aranges to show that at
that point a sequence of data items starts.
Such a symbol pointing into a non-allocated debug section will confuse
eu-strip -g. And it seems inefficient and wrong in general to have
additional mapping symbols for debug sections, which won't contain
actual code in the first place.
Just keep track of the aranges header size and use plain padding to
align the addresses which avoids generating any mapping symbols on
aarch64 and arm.

We previously specified a few known register groups for the 'tui reg'
command. Other register groups could be accessed, but only by using the
'tui reg next' command and cycling through all the groups.
This commit removes the hard coded sub-commands of 'tui reg' and instead
adds dynamic completion of sub-commands based on the architecturally
defined register groups, giving immediate access to all available
register groups.
There is still the 'next' and 'prev' commands for cycling through the
register groups if that's wanted.
The new code maintains the ability to only enter partial names for
register groups, which is something we got for free when using the
standard sub-command mechanism.
The register (and register group) completer has been changed to use
get_current_arch rather than using the architecture of the currently
selected frame. When the target is running, this is equivalent,
