GDB: Replace use of sprintf.
2005-03-17 Mark Kettenis <kettenis@gnu.org>
* corelow.c (get_core_register_section): Replace usage of sprintf
and strcpy with xstrprintf and xstrdup.

location for the native amd64 ABI. This fixes unwinding over the
signal frame after trampoline was moved to the shared page.
The code would be more correct if using sysctl for the target process
instead of inspecting gdb' own trampoline, but the current change is
least intrusive and currently, we always initialize the native ABI
sysvec first, which means that trampoline location for FreeBSD/amd64
ABI is relatively stable.
Similar change will benefit libunwind.

This helps on ARM EABI where the OS/ABI field is zero. It would be better
to use the NOTES program header however this would require a more invasive
change.
This improves GDB usability when debugging code compiled with
optimization.

- Make gdb work on powerpc64, the code for this is obtained from
ppc-linux-tdep.c.
- Remove non-elf core read functionality. Implement core read functionality
similar like other FreeBSD targets.
- Set long double limitations.
x86 CPU support, better support for powerpc64, some new directives, and
many other things. Bump __FreeBSD_version, and add a note to UPDATING.
Thanks to the many people that have helped to test this.

thread specific informations.
In order to do that, and in order to avoid KBI breakage with existing
infrastructure the following semantic is implemented:
- For live programs, a new member to the PT_LWPINFO is added (pl_tdname)
- For cores, a new ELF note is added (NT_THRMISC) that can be used for
storing thread specific, miscellaneous, informations. Right now it is
just popluated with a thread name.
GDB, then, retrieves the correct informations from the corefile via the
BFD interface, as it groks the ELF notes and create appropriate
pseudo-sections.

read_initial_length detects pointer size by checking first
4 bytes of .debug_line and stores it in struct comp_unit_head *
passed to it as second argument. By passing NULL to a
read_initial_length we ignore actual pointer size (8 bytes) and
use default (4 bytes) which results in wrong offsets of header fields.

ia64_write_reg() and call these whenever we read or write registers from
and to memory. This way we correctly read registers from addresses in
the register cache and thus fixes backtraces when the saved registers
(such as rp and ar.pfs) are in dirty stacked registers.
