Rework signal frame probing for FreeBSD/x86
- Use signal frame sniffers that look for the signal trampoline instruction sequence to detect most signal frames. - FreeBSD kernels between 9.2 and 10.1 inclusive do not include the signal trampoline code in process core dumps. To detect signal frames for core dumps under these kernels, use the kern.proc.sigtramp.<pid> sysctl to fetch the location of the signal trampoline in the gdb process and assume that PC values within this location are signal frames. This depends on that location being identical for all binaries. gdb/ChangeLog: 2015-02-25 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> * amd64fbsd-nat.c: Include sys/user.h. (_initialize_amd64fbsd_nat): Use the KERN_PROC_SIGTRAMP sysctl instead of KERN_PS_STRINGS to locate the signal trampoline. * i386fbsd-nat.c: Include sys/user.h. (_initialize_i386fbsd_nat): Use the KERN_PROC_SIGTRAMP sysctl instead of KERN_PS_STRINGS to locate the signal trampoline. * amd64fbsd-tdep.c (amd64fbsd_sigtramp_code): New. (amd64fbsd_sigtramp_p): New. (amd64fbsd_sigtramp_start_addr, amd64fbsd_sigtramp_end_addr): No longer set default values. (amd64fbsd_init_abi): Set "sigtramp_p" to "amd64fbsd_sigtramp_p". * i386fbsd-tdep.c (i386fbsd_sigtramp_start) (i386fbsd_sigtramp_middle, i386fbsd_sigtramp_end) (i386fbsd_freebsd4_sigtramp_start) (i386fbsd_freebsd4_sigtramp_middle) (i386fbsd_freebsd4_sigtramp_end, i386fbsd_osigtramp_start) (i386fbsd_osigtramp_middle, i386fbsd_osigtramp_end): New. (i386fbsd_sigtramp_p): New. (i386fbsd_sigtramp_start_addr, i386fbsd_sigtramp_end_addr): No longer set default values. (i386fbsd_init_abi): Set "sigtramp_p" to "i386fbsd_sigtramp_p".
