Use kinfo_getvmmap () on FreeBSD to enumerate memory regions.
Commit Message
Use kinfo_getvmmap () from libutil on FreeBSD to enumerate memory
regions in a running process instead of /proc/<pid>/map. FreeBSD systems
do not mount procfs by default, but kinfo_getvmmap () uses a sysctl that
is always available.
Skip memory regions for devices as well as regions an application has
requested to not be dumped via the MAP_NOCORE flag to mmap () or
MADV_NOCORE advice to madvise ().
gdb/ChangeLog:
* configure.ac: AC_CHECK_LIB(util, kinfo_getvmmap).
* configure: Regenerate.
* config.in: Regenerate.
* fbsd-nat.c (fbsd_find_memory_regions): Use kinfo_getvmmap to
enumerate memory regions if present.

Hi John,
Looks good to me, with a few nits/suggestions below.

Note that GNU's coding conventions tell us to refer to functions by
name without the ()'s.

Isn't
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(kinfo_getvmmap, [util])
pretty much the same?
(Note: please make sure to use pristine GNU autoconf 2.64 when generating
the files, to avoid spurious odd differences coming out. Some distros
carry local patches that result in that, dunno about FreeBSD.)

I'd suggest splitting fbsd_find_memory_regions in two instead of the
big #if/#else/#endif, but that's just personal preference.

Might be, I wasn't sure from reading the autoconf docs that this would add the
appropriate define. I'll certainly try it and if it works I'm happier to use
the simpler form.

Yes, I had to download my own copy to use when I tested this locally.

I wasn't sure about this one. kinfo_getvmmap() calls malloc() from libc
internally (so it isn't using xmalloc() to allocate the memory that is
returned). Is it still correct to use xfree() instead of free() in that case?

Do you mean an #if/#else/#endif around the entire function vs just the body or
do you mean something else? If the former, I can easily do that (and collapse
down to on #if/#else/#endif with the prior conditionally-defined function).

Ah, I just saw bare "free" and didn't realize that it was kinfo_getvmmap
that malloc the memory. Yeah, free is correct then. Sorry for the noise.

Yeah, that.
