Luis Machado e309aa6524 Harden tests that deal with memory regions
Exercising aarch64-elf with a custom debug stub i noticed a few failures in
both gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp and gdb.base/memattr.exp:

FAIL: gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp: create read-only mem region covering main
FAIL: gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp: writing to read-only memory fails
FAIL: gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp: inserting software breakpoint in read-only memory fails

FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: create mem region 1
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: create mem region 2
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: create mem region 3
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: create mem region 4
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: create mem region 5
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: info mem (1)
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: mem1 cannot be read
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: mem2 cannot be written
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: mem2 can be read
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: disable mem 1
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: mem 1 was disabled
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: enable mem 1
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: mem 1 was enabled
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: disable mem 2 4
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: mem 2 and 4 were disabled
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: enable mem 2-4
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: mem 2-4 were enabled
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: mem 1 to 5 were disabled
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: mem 1 to 5 were enabled
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: delete mem 1
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: mem 1 was deleted
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: delete mem 2 4
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: mem 2 and 4 were deleted
FAIL: gdb.base/memattr.exp: mem 2-4 were deleted

These failures don't show up with gdbserver or native gdb on Linux because
they don't export any memory maps, therefore the vector of memory regions is
empty.

Outside of that scenario, we can't guarantee the absence of memory regions
reported by the target upon a connection. In our particular target, we
provide a memory map and the memory regions vector ceases to be empty.

With a non-empty memory regions vector, manipulating memory regions will cause
gdb to be more verbose and output text. For example:

memattr.c:require_user_regions

  /* Otherwise, let the user know how to get back.  */
  if (from_tty)
    warning (_("Switching to manual control of memory regions; use "
	       "\"mem auto\" to fetch regions from the target again."));

memattr.c:create_mem_region

      if ((lo >= n->lo && (lo < n->hi || n->hi == 0))
	  || (hi > n->lo && (hi <= n->hi || n->hi == 0))
	  || (lo <= n->lo && ((hi >= n->hi && n->hi != 0) || hi == 0)))
	{
	  printf_unfiltered (_("overlapping memory region\n"));
	  return;
	}

In my particular case i got both of the above messages.

In order to fix this, i've moved the delete_memory proc from
gdb.base/memattr.exp to a new file lib/memory.exp and made lib/gdb.exp
load that file.

For both gdb.base/breakpoint-in-ro-region.exp and gdb.base/memattr.exp the
patch clears all existing memory regions after running to main. That way we
are guaranteed to have a clean state for memory regions so the tests can
exercise whatever they want and have an expected output pattern.

Regression checked on x86-64/Ubuntu 16.04.

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.
