This patch removes some unnecessary code. In particular,
terminate_minimal_symbol_table is declared in minsyms.h, so it doesn't
need to be declared in objfiles.h as well. And,
restore_ui_out_closure was rendered unnecessary by an earlier patch,
so the structure definition can be removed now.
I'm checking this in as obvious.
Tested by rebuilding on x86-64 Fedora 24 with --enable-targets=all;

If xmalloc fails allocating memory, usually because something tried a
huge allocation, like xmalloc(-1) or some such, GDB asks the user what
to do:
.../src/gdb/utils.c:1079: internal-error: virtual memory exhausted.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
If the user says "n", that throws a QUIT exception, which is caught by
one of the multiple CATCH(RETURN_MASK_ALL) blocks somewhere up the
stack.
The default implementations of operator new / operator new[] call
malloc directly, and on memory allocation failure throw
std::bad_alloc. Currently, if that happens, since nothing catches it,
the exception escapes out of main, and GDB aborts from unhandled
exception.
This patch replaces the default operator new variants with versions
that, just like xmalloc:
#1 - Raise an internal-error on memory allocation failure.
#2 - Throw a QUIT gdb_exception, so that the exact same CATCH blocks
continue handling memory allocation problems.
A minor complication of #2 is that operator new can _only_ throw
std::bad_alloc, or something that extends it:
void* operator new (std::size_t size) throw (std::bad_alloc);
That means that if we let a gdb QUIT exception escape from within
operator new, the C++ runtime aborts due to unexpected exception
thrown.
So to bridge the gap, this patch adds a new gdb_quit_bad_alloc
exception type that inherits both std::bad_alloc and gdb_exception,
and throws _that_.
If we decide that we should be catching memory allocation errors in
fewer places than all the places we currently catch them (everywhere
we use RETURN_MASK_ALL currently), then we could change operator new
to throw plain std::bad_alloc then. But I'm considering such a change
as separate matter from this one -- it'd make sense to do the same to
xmalloc at the same time, for instance.
Meanwhile, this allows using new/new[] instead of xmalloc/XNEW/etc.
without losing the "virtual memory exhausted" internal-error
safeguard.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 23.

In commit 6423214f (testsuite: Don't use expect_background to reap
gdbserver), we override gdb_exit in lib/gdbserver-support.exp, so
that we can close gdbserver first. However, we don't close gdbserver
in mi_gdb_exit. This makes a problem in my aarch64 mulit-arch testing,
in which I run some mi tests, mi-watch.exp for example, in different
variations (aarch64 and arm),
Schedule of variations:
junor0-2
junor0-2-arm/-marm
junor0-2-arm/-mthumb
When the test is done in the first variation (aarch64), test case is
recompiled for arm, but GDBserver with aarch64 program is still
running. When the second variation is started, GDB loads arm program,
but GDBserver still loads aarch64 program because the old GDBserver
process is using it. We'll get,
47-target-select remote junor0-2:2350^M

ARC is a family of licensable processors developed by Synopsys.
This is an initial patch that doesn't yet support some of the features, that
are already available in Synopsys' fork of GDB, namely:
* longjmp support
* signal frame handling
* prologue analysis
* Linux targets support
* native Linux support
ARC cores are configurable and extensible, which means from debugger
perspective that some registers and debug capabilities are optional, therefore
it is up to the GDB stub to determine exact list of register available on
target and supply it to GDB via XML target descriptions. List of registers
that is known to GDB and is required is intentionally kept small to simplify
requirements to GDB stub and implementation of a GDB client.

This fixes PR gdb/20604. The bug here is that passing an invalid
expression to "quit" -- e.g., "quit()" -- causes gdb to enter a
non-functioning state.
The immediate problem is that quit_force resets the terminal before
evaluating the expression. However, it seemed to me that it doesn't
really make sense to pass the quit_force argument to kill_or_detach
(which passes it to to_detach), first because conflating the exit
status for "quit" and the signal to pass when detaching doesn't make
sense, and second because to_detach implementations generally only
accept a constant here, while "quit" accepts an expression. So, I
removed that.
As an aside, I think the "detach SIGNO" functionality is not
documented.

One of the review comments from the SVE series was that it would

SVE defines new names for existing NZCV conditions, to reflect the
result of instructions like PTEST. This patch adds support for these
names.
The patch also adds comments to the disassembly output to show the
alternative names of a condition code. For example:
cinv x0, x1, cc
becomes:
cinv x0, x1, cc // cc = lo, ul, last
and:
b.cc f0 <...>
becomes:
b.cc f0 <...> // b.lo, b.ul, b.last
Doing this for the SVE names follows the practice recommended by the
SVE specification and is definitely useful when reading SVE code.
If the feeling is that it's too distracting elsewhere, we could add
an option to turn it off.

This patch adds support for the new SVE floating-point immediate
operands. One operand uses the same 8-bit encoding as base AArch64,
but in a different position. The others use a single bit to select
between two values.
One of the single-bit operands is a choice between 0 and 1, where 0
is not a valid 8-bit encoding. I think the cleanest way of handling
these single-bit immediates is therefore to use the IEEE float encoding
itself as the immediate value and select between the two possible values
when encoding and decoding.
As described in the covering note for the patch that added F_STRICT,
we get better error messages by accepting unsuffixed vector registers
and leaving the qualifier matching code to report an error. This means
that we carry on parsing the other operands, and so can try to parse FP
immediates for invalid instructions like:
fcpy z0, #2.5
In this case there is no suffix to tell us whether the immediate should
be treated as single or double precision. Again, we get better error
messages by picking one (arbitrary) immediate size and reporting an error
for the missing suffix later.

This patch adds the new SVE integer immediate operands. There are
three kinds:
- simple signed and unsigned ranges, but with new widths and positions.
- 13-bit logical immediates. These have the same form as in base AArch64,
but at a different bit position.
In the case of the "MOV Zn.<T>, #<limm>" alias of DUPM, the logical
immediate <limm> is not allowed to be a valid DUP immediate, since DUP
is preferred over DUPM for constants that both instructions can handle.
- a new 9-bit arithmetic immediate, of the form "<imm8>{, LSL #8}".
In some contexts the operand is signed and in others it's unsigned.
As an extension, we allow shifted immediates to be written as a single
integer, e.g. "#256" is equivalent to "#1, LSL #8". We also use the
shiftless form as the preferred disassembly, except for the special
case of "#0, LSL #8" (a redundant encoding of 0).

This patch adds support for addresses of the form:
[<base>, #<offset>, MUL VL]
This involves adding a new AARCH64_MOD_MUL_VL modifier, which is
why I split it out from the other addressing modes.
For LD2, LD3 and LD4, the offset must be a multiple of the structure
size, so for LD3 the possible values are 0, 3, 6, .... The patch
therefore extends value_aligned_p to handle non-power-of-2 alignments.

Some SVE instructions count the number of elements in a given vector
pattern and allow a scale factor of [1, 16] to be applied to the result.
This scale factor is written ", MUL #n", where "MUL" is a new operator.
E.g.:
UQINCD X0, POW2, MUL #2
This patch adds support for this kind of operand.
All existing operators were shifts of some kind, so there was a natural
range of [0, 63] regardless of context. This was then narrowered further
by later checks (e.g. to [0, 31] when used for 32-bit values).
In contrast, MUL doesn't really have a natural context-independent range.
Rather than pick one arbitrarily, it seemed better to make the "shift"
amount a full 64-bit value and leave the range test to the usual
operand-checking code. I've rearranged the fields of aarch64_opnd_info
so that this doesn't increase the size of the structure (although I don't
think its size is critical anyway).

The SVE instructions have two enumerated operands: one to select a
vector pattern and another to select a prefetch operation. The latter
is a cut-down version of the base AArch64 prefetch operation.
Both types of operand can also be specified as raw enum values such as #31.
Reserved values can only be specified this way.
If it hadn't been for the pattern operand, I would have been tempted
to use the existing parsing for prefetch operations and add extra
checks for SVE. However, since the patterns needed new enum parsing
code anyway, it seeemed cleaner to reuse it for the prefetches too.
Because of the small number of enum values, I don't think we'd gain
anything by using hash tables.

SVE has some instructions in which the same register appears twice

This patch adds a general mechanism for that.
The patch needs to add new information to the instruction entries.
One option would have been to extend the flags field of the opcode
to 64 bits (since we already rely on 64-bit integers being available
on the host). However, the *_INSN macros mean that it's easy to add
new information as top-level fields without affecting the existing
table entries too much. Going for that option seemed to give slightly
neater code.

SVE predicate operands can appear in three forms:
1. unsuffixed: "Pn"
2. with a predication type: "Pn/[ZM]"
3. with a size suffix: "Pn.[BHSD]"
No variation is allowed: unsuffixed operands cannot have a (redundant)
suffix, and the suffixes can never be dropped. Unsuffixed Pn are used
in LDR and STR, but they are also used for Pg operands in cases where
the result is scalar and where there is therefore no choice to be made
between "merging" and "zeroing". This means that some Pg operands have
suffixes and others don't.
It would be possible to use context-sensitive parsing to handle
this difference. The tc-aarch64.c code would then raise an error
if the wrong kind of suffix is used for a particular instruction.
However, we get much more user-friendly error messages if we parse
all three forms for all SVE instructions and record the suffix as a
qualifier. The normal qualifier matching code can then report cases
where the wrong kind of suffix is used. This is a slight extension
of existing usage, which really only checks for the wrong choice of
suffix within a particular kind of suffix.
The only catch is a that a "NIL" entry in the qualifier list
specifically means "no suffix should be present" (case 1 above).
NIL isn't a wildcard here. It also means that an instruction that
requires all-NIL qualifiers can fail to match (because a suffix was
supplied when it shouldn't have been); this requires a slight change
to find_best_match.
This patch adds an F_STRICT flag to select this behaviour.
The flag will be set for all SVE instructions. The behaviour
for other instructions doesn't change.
