Core file build-id support
This patch uses new BFD support for detecting build-ids in core files. After this patch, it is possible to run gdb with only the core file, and gdb will automatically load the executable and debug info [example from tests]: $ gdb -nx -q (gdb) core-file corefile-buildid.core [New LWP 29471] Reading symbols from gdb.base/corefile-buildid/debugdir-exec/.build-id/36/fe5722c5a7ca3ac746a84e223c6a2a69193a24... Core was generated by `outputs/gdb.base/coref'. Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted. (gdb) This work is based on functionality available in Fedora originally written by Jan Kratochvil. Regression tested on buildbot. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-12-07 Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com> * build-id.c (build_id_bfd_get): Permit bfd_core, too. (build_id_to_debug_bfd): Make static, rewriting to use build_id_to_bfd_suffix. (build_id_to_bfd_suffix): Copy of build_id_to_debug_bfd, adding `suffix' parameter. Append SUFFIX to file names when searching for matching files. (build_id_to_debug_bfd): Use build_id_to_bfd_suffix. (build_id_to_exec_bfd): Likewise. * build-id.h (build_id_to_debug_bfd): Clarify that function searches for BFD of debug info file. (build_id_to_exec_bfd): Declare. * corelow.c: Include build-id.h. (locate_exec_from_corefile_build_id): New function. (core_target_open): If no executable BFD is found, search for a core file BFD using build-id. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2019-12-07 Keith Seitz <keiths@redhat.com> * gdb.base/corefile-buildid-shlib-shr.c: New file. * gdb.base/corefile-buildid-shlib.c: New file. * gdb.base/corefile-buildid.c: New file. * gdb.base/corefile-buildid.exp: New file. Change-Id: I15e9e8e58f10c68b5cae55e2eba58df1e8aef529
