Pierre Langlois 7dfa3edc03 [AArch64] Teach prologue unwinder to terminate gracefully
Without debugging information, we have the following issue when
examining a trace buffer:

~~~
...
(gdb) trace f
Tracepoint 3 at 0x7fb7fc28c0
(gdb) tstart
(gdb) continue
...
(gdb) tstop
(gdb) tfind start
Register 31 is not available.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Found trace frame 0, tracepoint 3
#-1 0x0000007fb7fc28c0 in f () ...
^^^
~~~

The reason for this is that the target's stack pointer is unavailable
when examining the trace buffer.  What we are seeing is due to the
'tfind' command creating a sentinel frame and unwinding it.  If an
exception is thrown, we are left with the sentinel frame being displayed
at level #-1.  The exception is thrown when the prologue unwinder tries
to read the stack pointer to construct an ID for the frame.

This patch fixes this by making the prologue unwinder catch
NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR exceptions when either registers or memory is
unreadable and report back to the frame core code with
UNWIND_UNAVAILABLE.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* aarch64-tdep.c (aarch64_prologue_cache) <available_p>: New
	field.
	(aarch64_make_prologue_cache_1): New function, factored out from
	aarch64_make_prologue_cache.  Do not allocate cache.  Set
	available_p.
	(aarch64_make_prologue_cache): Reimplement wrapping
	aarch64_make_prologue_cache_1, and swallowing
	NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR.
	(aarch64_prologue_frame_unwind_stop_reason): New function.
	Return UNWIND_UNAVAILABLE if available_p is not set.
	(aarch64_prologue_unwind): Install it.
	(aarch64_prologue_this_id): Move prev_pc and prev_sp limit
	checks into aarch64_prologue_frame_unwind_stop_reason.  Call
	frame_id_build_unavailable_stack if available_p is not set.

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.
