Handle VDSO section headers past end of page
When a VDSO gets large enough that it doesn't entirely fit in one page, but not so large that the part described by the program header exceeds one page, then gdb/BFD doesn't read the section headers and symbol table information. This patch cures that by passing the size of the vdso to BFD, and fixes a number of other issues in the BFD code. bfd/ * elfcode.h (bfd_from_remote_memory): Add "size" parameter. Consolidate code handling possible section headers past end of segment. Don't use p_align for page size guess, instead use minpagesize. Take note of ld.so clearing section headers when p_memsz > p_filesz. Handle file header specifying no section headers. Handle zero p_align throughout. Default loadbase to zero. Add comments. Rename contents_size to high_offset, and make it a bfd_vma. Delete unnecessary bfd_set_error calls. * bfd-in.h (bfd_elf_bfd_from_remote_memory): Update prototpe. * elf-bfd.h (struct elf_backend_data <elf_backend_from_remote_memory>): Likewise. (_bfd_elf32_bfd_from_remote_memory): Likewise. (_bfd_elf64_bfd_from_remote_memory): Likewise. * elf.c (bfd_elf_bfd_from_remote_memory): Adjust. * bfd-in2.h: Regnerate. gdb/ * symfile-mem.c (symbol_file_add_from_memory): Add size parameter. Pass to bfd_elf_bfd_from_remote_memory. Adjust all callers. (struct symbol_file_add_from_memory_args): Add size field. (find_vdso_size): New function. (add_vsyscall_page): Attempt to find vdso size.
