Maciej W. Rozycki 858339f2b7 MIPS: Add support for microMIPS Linux signal trampolines
The necessity for this change has been revealed in the course of
investigation related to proposed changes in the treatment of the ISA
bit encoded in function symbols on the MIPS target.  This change adds
support for Linux signal trampolines encoded with the microMIPS
instruction set.  Such trampolines are used by the Linux kernel if
compiled as a microMIPS binary (even if the binary run/debugged itself
contains no microMIPS code at all).

To see if we need to check whether the execution mode selected matches
the given trampoline I have checked what the bit patterns of all the
trampoline sequences decode to in the opposite instruction set.  This
produced useless or at least unusual code in most cases, for example:

microMIPS/EB, o32 sigreturn, decoded as MIPS code:
	30401017 	andi	zero,v0,0x1017
	00008b7c 	dsll32	s1,zero,0xd

MIPS/EL, o32 sigreturn, decoded as microMIPS code:
	1017 2402 	addi	zero,s7,9218
	000c 0000 	sll	zero,t0,0x0

However in some corner cases reasonable code can mimic a trampoline, for
example:

MIPS/EB, n32 rt_sigreturn, decoded as microMIPS code:
	2402      	sll	s0,s0,1
	1843 0000 	sb	v0,0(v1)
	000c 0f3c 	jr	t0

-- here the first instruction is a 16-bit one, making things nastier
even as there are some other microMIPS instructions whose first 16-bit
halfword is 0x000c and therefore matches this whole trampoline pattern.

To overcome this problem I have decided the signal trampoline unwinder
has to ask the platform backend whether it can apply a given trampoline
pattern to the code location being concerned or not.  Anticipating the
acceptance of the ISA bit proposal I decided the handler not to merely
be a predicate, but also to be able to provide an adjusted PC if
required.  I decided that returning zero will mean that the trampoline
pattern is not applicable and any other value is the adjusted PC to use;
a handler may return the value requested if the trampoline pattern and
the PC requested as-is are both accepted.

This changes the semantics of the trampoline unwinder a bit in that the
zero PC now has a special value.  I think this should be safe as a NULL
pointer is generally supposed to be invalid.

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.
