Yao Qi 7eb895307f Skip unwritable frames in command "finish"
Nowadays, GDB can't insert breakpoint on the return address of the
exception handler on ARM M-profile, because the address is a magic
one 0xfffffff9,

 (gdb) bt
 #0  CT32B1_IRQHandler () at ../src/timer.c:67
 #1  <signal handler called>
 #2  main () at ../src/timer.c:127

(gdb) info frame
Stack level 0, frame at 0x200ffa8:
 pc = 0x4ec in CT32B1_IRQHandler (../src/timer.c:67); saved pc = 0xfffffff9
 called by frame at 0x200ffc8
 source language c.
 Arglist at 0x200ffa0, args:
 Locals at 0x200ffa0, Previous frame's sp is 0x200ffa8
 Saved registers:
  r7 at 0x200ffa0, lr at 0x200ffa4

(gdb) x/x 0xfffffff9
0xfffffff9:     Cannot access memory at address 0xfffffff9

(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  CT32B1_IRQHandler () at ../src/timer.c:67
Ed:15: Target error from Set break/watch: Et:96: Pseudo-address (0xFFFFFFxx) for EXC_RETURN is invalid (GDB error?)

Warning:
Cannot insert hardware breakpoint 0.
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.

Command aborted.

even some debug probe can't set hardware breakpoint on the magic
address too,

(gdb) hbreak *0xfffffff9
Hardware assisted breakpoint 2 at 0xfffffff9
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Ed:15: Target error from Set break/watch: Et:96: Pseudo-address (0xFFFFFFxx) for EXC_RETURN is invalid (GDB error?)

Warning:
Cannot insert hardware breakpoint 2.
Could not insert hardware breakpoints:
You may have requested too many hardware breakpoints/watchpoints.

Command aborted.

The problem described above is quite similar to PR 8841, in which GDB
can't set breakpoint on signal trampoline, which is mapped to a read-only
page by kernel.  The rationale of this patch is to skip "unwritable"
frames when looking for caller frames in command "finish", and a new
gdbarch method code_of_frame_writable is added.  This patch fixes
the problem on ARM cortex-m target, but it can be used to fix
PR 8841 too.

		   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.
