PR remote/15455 - QTro remote packet broken
In the function remote_trace_set_readonly_regions in gdb/remote.c, the
local variable 'offset' does not account for "QTro" at the start of
the packet with the result that if there are any read-only regions,
the packet is sent -- but without the "QTro" -- causing the remote
stub to report that the packet is unsupported:
We don't see the problem when testing with GDBserver, as that supports
qXfer:trace-frame-info:read, meaning GDBserver never needs to read
from the read-only sections directly itself. This commit adds a test
that explicitly disables qXfer:trace-frame-info:read.

move sparc-sol-thread.c back into sol-thread.c.
The routines in sparc-sol-thread used to be SPARC-specific (and
documented as such in the ptrace man page), and therefore hosting them
in a sparc-specific file made sense. However, newer versions of
Solaris now use those callbacks (Solaris 10 Update 10, apparently),
and thus the note about these callbacks being specific to SPARC
was removed.
So this patch deletes sparc-sol-thread.c and moves the code back
inside sol-thread.c.

Andrew Haley found a bug on GDB running on ARM when using
--enable-64-bit-bfd. Basically the issue happens when dealing with "bl"
instructions: GDB does branch destination calculation and (wrongly)
sign-extends the PC. Here is a piece of his original message explaining
the problem:

Anyway, the fix is simple and Andrew himself provided it for us. It
took a while for me to figure out how to trigger the bug (in order to
write a testcase for it), but I finally made it.
The attached patch fixes the problem (by casting to `unsigned long'
instead of just `long'), and also includes a testcase to reproduce the
issue.

Fix the x87 FP register printout when issuing the “info float” command.
Consider the following simple program:
.globl _start
.text
_start:
fldt val
.data
val: .byte 0x00,0x00,0x45,0x07,0x11,0x19,0x22,0xe9,0xfe,0xbf
With current GDB on x86-64 GNU/Linux hosts, after the moment the fldt
command has been executed the register st(0) looks like this,
according to the “info regs” output (TOP=7):
which is clearly wrong (just count its length). The problem is due to
the printf statement (see patch) printing a promoted integer value of
a char argument "raw[i]", and, since char is signed on x86-64
GNU/Linux, the erroneous “ffffff” are printed for the first three
bytes which turn out to be "negative". The fix is to use gdb_byte
instead which is unsigned (and is the type of value_contents(), the
type to be used for raw target bytes anyway). After the fix the value
will be printed correctly:
* main.c (get_init_files): Use filename_ncmp instead of strncmp.
Use IS_DIR_SEPARATOR instead of looking for a character inside
SLASH_STRING. Include filenames.h.
(captured_main) [__MINGW32__]: Make argv[0] absolute, so that
relocate_gdb_directory works when passed gdb_program_name.
