ARM: Do not use FP reg when on AAPCS
GDB tries to dereference the frame pointer in arm_scan_prologue as a last resort to create frame information. However, the more recent AAPCS ABI does not make use of a frame pointer. This patch checks whether the specified arm_abi is AAPCS before dereferencing the "frame pointer". If so, just return as efforts to use it for restoring frame information won't work. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-11-06 Marius Muench <marius.muench@eurecom.fr> * arm-tdep.c (arm_scan_prologue): Don't dereference FP reg when on AAPCS.
