or dead kernel core is loaded into gdb. This extends gdb's existing
shared library support, so the "info sharedlibrary", "sharedlibrary"
and "nosharedlibrary" commands can be used to view and change the
list of loaded symbol files.
The current implementation is more than a kludge however, and it
will not always manage to find the .ko.debug file corresponding to
the loaded module. In particular, for modules whose build directory
cannot be easily guessed from the module name such as all the
netgraph modules, the debug version of the .ko will not be found
automatically.
The logic for finding the module file first attempts to guess at
the module build directory by parsing the version[] string. Then
using that directory ($DIR), it tries the following paths in turn:
./<module>.ko.debug ./<module>.ko
$DIR/<module>.ko.debug $DIR/<module>.ko
/boot/kernel/<module>.ko.debug /boot/kernel/<module>.ko

xmalloc() and xrealloc() and the mixed usage of xmalloc in some .c's from
libiberty.a and other .c's from libreadline.so produces an unusable binary
on the Alpha.
While I am here, preventatively move other libs in the link order.

`wait.h' that was in contrib/binutils/, however this wait.h went away with
bintuils 2.10.0 so I `cvs rm'ed it. Now we find gdb will not build. This
binutils wait.h contained nothing we didn't already have in <sys/wait.h>.
So just hack a symlink to it.
libraries in LDADD so that `make checkdpadd' doesn't report non-errors.
Fixed some style bugs (the usual ones for DPADD and LDADD, and misformatting
of $FreeBSD$).
worked because .ORDER prevented problems from concurrent generation
of multiple parsers (and their headers), and there were no missing
dependencies because the generated headers were not actually used.
because 2 references to _initialize_kcorelow (the other one
from kvm-fbsd.c) resulted. This prevented gdb from working correectly.
delete kcorelow.c from XSRCS in the Makefile.
UPAGES layout.. it was entirely too comfortable with reading and writing
the U area before. I've changed it to use PT_GETREGS/PT_PUTREGS
ptrace ops instead of READ_U etc. The code to read the registers from
core dumps is a bandaid at best. It seems to have problems reading
core dumps from dynamic linked executables still, but at least static
dumps work.
I desperately need help from a gdb/bfd expert. :-) HELP!!
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
