This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
include 2024,
- Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
file,
- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
date,
- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If
these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as
you spot them.

This commit is the result of running the gdb/copyright.py script,
which automated the update of the copyright year range for all
source files managed by the GDB project to be updated to include
year 2023.

GDB is not able to execute "step" command on function calls of Armv8-M cmse secure entry functions.
Everytime GNU linker come across definition of any cmse secure entry function in object file(s),
it creates two new instructions secure gateway (sg) and original branch destination (b.w),
place those two instructions in ".gnu.sgstubs" section of executable.
Any function calls to these cmse secure entry functions is re-directed through secure gateway (sg)
present in ".gnu.sgstubs" section.
Example:
Following is a function call to cmse secure entry function "foo":
...
bl xxxx <foo> --->(a)
...
<foo>
xxxx: push {r7, lr}
GNU linker on finding out "foo" is a cmse secure entry function, created sg and b.w instructions and
place them in ".gnu.sgstubs" section (marked by c).
The "bl" instruction (marked by a) which is a call to cmse secure entry function is modified by GNU linker
(as marked by b) and call flow is re-directly through secure gateway (sg) in ".gnu.sgstubs" section.
...
bl yyyy <foo> ---> (b)
...
section .gnu.sgstubs: ---> (c)
yyyy <foo>
yyyy: sg // secure gateway
b.w xxxx <__acle_se_foo> // original_branch_dest
...
0000xxxx <__acle_se_foo>
xxxx: push {r7, lr} ---> (d)
On invoking GDB, when the control is at "b" and we pass "step" command, the pc returns "yyyy"
(sg address) which is a trampoline and which does not exist in source code. So GDB jumps
to next line without jumping to "__acle_se_foo" (marked by d).
The above details are published on the Arm website [1], please refer to section 5.4 (Entry functions)
and section 3.4.4 (C level development flow of secure code).

This patch fixes above problem by returning target pc "xxxx" to GDB on executing "step"
command at "b", so that the control jumps to "__acle_se_foo" (marked by d).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* arm-tdep.c (arm_skip_cmse_entry): New function.
(arm_is_sgstubs_section): New function.
(arm_skip_stub): Add call to arm_skip_cmse_entry function.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gdb.arch/arm-cmse-sgstubs.c: New test.
* gdb.arch/arm-cmse-sgstubs.exp: New file.
