[gdb/symtab] Make gold index workaround more precise
There's a PR gold/15646 - "gold-generated .gdb_index has duplicated symbols that gdb-generated index doesn't", that causes gold to generate duplicate symbols in the index. F.i., a namespace N1 declared in a header file can be listed for two CUs that include the header file: ... [759] N1: 2 [global type] 3 [global type] ... This causes a gdb performance problem: f.i. when attempting to set a breakpoint on a non-existing function N1::misspelled, the symtab for both CUs will be expanded. Gdb contains a workaround for this, added in commit 8943b87476 "Work around gold/15646", that skips duplicate global symbols in the index. However, the workaround does not check for the symbol kind ("type" in the example above). Make the workaround more precise by limiting it to symbol kind "type". Tested on x86_64-linux, with target boards cc-with-gdb-index and gold-gdb-index. gdb/ChangeLog: 2020-05-28 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> * dwarf2/read.c (dw2_symtab_iter_next, dw2_expand_marked_cus): Limit PR gold/15646 workaround to symbol kind "type".
