Fix PR gdb/20505 - Make vDSO detection work with core files
Loading a core dump that was either generated on a system running pristine glibc master, or on a Fedora/RHEL system with LD_DEBUG=unused set in the environment, solib-svr4.c:svr4_current_sos fails to filter out the vDSO, resulting in: (gdb) core-file corefile.core^M [New LWP 2362]^M warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.^M Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?^M Core was generated by `build-gdb/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/corefile/'.^M ... The problem is that gdbarch_vsyscall_range does not support core inferiors at all. When live debugging, we're finding the vDSO's start address with auxv/AT_SYSINFO_EHDR, and then we find the vDSO's size by look for the corresponding mapping, by parsing /proc/PID/maps. When debugging a core dump, we can also determine the starting address from auxv/AT_SYSINFO_EHDR. However, we obviously can't read the core mappings out of the host's /proc. But we can instead look for a corresponding load segment in the core's bfd. gdb/ChangeLog: 2016-08-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR gdb/20505 * linux-tdep.c (linux_vsyscall_range_raw): For core inferiors, find the vDSO's start address with AT_SYSINFO_EHDR too, and determine the vDSO's size by finding the PT_LOAD segment that matches AT_SYSINFO_EHDR. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2016-08-22 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR gdb/20505 * gdb.base/vdso-warning.exp: Test core dumps too.
