Yao Qi 21daaaaffc Improve arm_skip_prologue by using arm_analyze_prologue
Hi,
I see many fails in dw2-dir-file-name.exp on arm target when test
case is compiled with -marm, however, these fails are disappeared when
test case is compiled with -mthumb.

The difference of pass and fail shown below is that "0x000085d4 in" isn't
printed out, but test case expects to see it.

-Breakpoint 2, compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename () at tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c:999^M
-(gdb) FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp: compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename: continue to breakpoint: compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename
+Breakpoint 2, 0x000085d4 in compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename () at tmp-dw2-dir-file-name.c:999^M
+(gdb) PASS: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-dir-file-name.exp: compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename: continue to breakpoint: compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename

This difference is caused by setting breakpoint at the first instruction
in the function (actually, the first instruction in prologue, at [1]),
so that frame_show_address returns false, and print_frame doesn't print the
address.

   0x00008620 <+0>:     push    {r11}           ; (str r11, [sp, #-4]!)  <--[1]
   0x00008624 <+4>:     add     r11, sp, #0
   0x00008628 <+8>:     ldr     r3, [pc, #24]   ; 0x8648 <compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename+40>
   0x0000862c <+12>:    ldr     r3, [r3]
   0x00008630 <+16>:    add     r3, r3, #1
   0x00008634 <+20>:    ldr     r2, [pc, #12]   ; 0x8648 <compdir_missing__ldir_missing__file_basename+40>

Then, it must be the arm_skip_prologue's fault that unable to skip
instructions in prologue.  At the end of arm_skip_prologue, it matches
several instructions, such as "str  r(0123),[r11,#-nn]" and
"str  r(0123),[sp,#nn]", but "push {r11}" isn't handled.

These instruction matching code in arm_skip_prologue, which can be regarded
as leftover of development for many years, should be merged to
arm_analyze_prologue and use arm_analyze_prologue in arm_skip_prologue.
Here is the something like the history of arm_{skip,scan,analyze}_prologue.
Around 2002, there are arm_skip_prologue and arm_scan_prologue, but code are
duplicated to some extent.  When match an instruction, both functions should
be modified, for example in Michael Snyder's patch
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2002-05/msg00205.html and Michael
expressed the willingness to merge both into one.  Daniel added code call
thumb_analyze_prologue in arm_skip_prologue in 2006, but didn't handle its
counterpart arm_analyze_prologue, which is added in 2010
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-03/msg00820.html>
however, the instructions matching at the bottom of arm_skip_prologue wasn't
cleaned up.  This patch is to merge them into arm_analyze_prologue.

README

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
