[2/2] gdb: Add support for tracking the DWARF line table is-stmt field

  This commit brings support for the DWARF line table is_stmt field to
GDB.  The is_stmt field is used by the compiler when a single source
line is split into multiple assembler instructions, especially if the
assembler instructions are interleaved with instruction from other
source lines.

The compiler will set the is_stmt flag false from some instructions
from the source lines, these instructions are not a good place to
insert a breakpoint in order to stop at the source line.
Instructions which are marked with the is_stmt flag true are a good
place to insert a breakpoint for that source line.

Currently GDB ignores all instructions for which is_stmt is false.
This is fine in a lot of cases, however, there are some cases where
this means the debug experience is not as good as it could be.

Consider stopping at a random instruction, currently this instruction
will be attributed to the last line table entry before this point for
which is_stmt was true - as these are the only line table entries that
GDB tracks.  This can easily be incorrect in code with even a low
level of optimisation.

With is_stmt tracking in place, when stopping at a random instruction
we now attribute the instruction back to the real source line, even
when is_stmt is false for that instruction in the line table.

When inserting breakpoints we still select line table entries for
which is_stmt is true, so the breakpoint placing behaviour should not
change.

When stepping though code (at the line level, not the instruction
level) we will still stop at instruction where is_stmt is true, I
think this is more likely to be the desired behaviour.

Instruction stepping is, of course, unchanged, stepping one
instruction at a time, but we should now report more accurate line
table information with each instruction step.

The original motivation for this work was a patch posted by Bernd
here:
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-11/msg00792.html

As part of that thread it was suggested that many issues would be
resolved if GDB supported line table views, this isn't something I've
attempted in this patch, though reading the spec, it seems like this
would be a useful feature to support in GDB in the future.  The spec
is here:
  http://dwarfstd.org/ShowIssue.php?issue=170427.1

And Bernd gives a brief description of the benefits here:
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2020-01/msg00147.html

With that all said, I think that there is benefit to having proper
is_stmt support regardless of whether we have views support, so I
think we should consider getting this (or something like this) in
first, and then building view support on top of this.

The gdb.cp/next-inline.exp test is based off a test proposed by Bernd
Edlinger in message:
  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-12/msg00842.html

Thanks Andrew, I played a bit with debugging the gcc internals,
and I think the debug-experience is good, the problem with step
over are completely gone, also in the original context.

Just a few comments on the patch follow below.

did you mean, when we don't land in the middle of a line ?

Hi,

I still need to check the patch itself, but i had a question about one 
particular paragraph...

Considering a block of continuous instructions that map to the same 
source line, will line-stepping stop at each one of these instructions 
if is_stmt is true? As opposed to stepping over the the whole block 
until we see a line change?

I'm wondering if this would help this bug 
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21221) in any way.

Hi,

I just did a rebase of your patch, (and was surprised that it worked),
but got an interesting message from git:

First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it...
Applying: - is-stmt patch

and indeed there are SPACE followed by TAB in
gdb/testsuite/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-is-stmt-2.exp

not sure if that is only because I copied these lines
out of the E-mail and messed it up by doing so, or if the whitespace
is wrong in the original patch as well.


Thanks
Bernd.

No, in this case I did write the correct thing.

So GDB had/has some code designed to "improve" the handling of looping
constructs.  I think the idea is to handle cases like this:

  0x100      LN=5
  0x104 <-\
  0x108   |
  0x10c   |  LN=6
  0x110   |
  0x114 --/

So when line 6 branches back to the middle of line 5, we don't stop
(because we are in the middle of line 5), but we do want to stop at
the start of line 6, so we "reset" the starting point back to line 5.

This is done by calling set_step_info in process_event_stop_test, in
infrun.c.

What we actually did though was whenever we were at an address that
didn't exactly match a SAL (in the example above, marked LN=5, LN=6)
we called set_step_info.  This worked fine, at address 0x104 we reset
back to LN=5, same at address 0x108.

However, in the new world things can look different, for example, like
this:

  0x100      LN=5,STMT=1
  0x104
  0x108      LN=6,STMT=0
  0x10c      LN=6,STMT=1
  0x110
  0x114

In this world, when we move forward to 0x100 we don't have a matching
SAL, so we get the SAL for address 0x100.  We can then safely call
set_step_info like we did before, that's fine.  But when we step to
0x108 we do now have a matching SAL, but we don't want to stop yet as
this address is 'STMT=0'.  However, if we call set_step_info then GDB
is going to think we are stepping away from LN=6, and so will refuse
to stop at address 0x10c.

The proposal in this commit is that if we land at an address which
doesn't specifically match a SAL, 0x104, 0x110, 0x114 in the above
example, then we do call set_step_info, but otherwise we don't.

There are going to be situations where the behaviour of GDB changes
after this patch, but I don't think we can avoid that.  What we had
previously was just a heuristic.  I think enabling this new
information in GDB will allow us to do better overall, so I think we
should make this change and fix any issues as they show up.

Ooops.  Fixed.

I also fixed the space before tab issue you pointed out in another
mail.

I see you have a patch that depends on this one, but I'd like to leave
this on the mailing list for a little longer before I merge it to give
others a chance to comment.

I'll probably merge this over the weekend if there's no other
feedback.

Thanks,
Andrew

+
+   This field is used when many addresses all represent the same source
+   line.  The address(es) at which it is suitable to place a breakpoint for
+   a line are marked with is-stmt true, while address(es) that are not good
+   places to place a breakpoint are marked as is-stmt false.
+

+   instructions.  Each C source line will be given an assembler label,
+   which we use to generate a fake line table.
+
+   In this fake line table each assembler block is claimed to represent a
+   single C source line, however, we will toggle the is-stmt flag.  We can
