Fix generation of x86-64 gdbarch with osabi none (PR 22979)
When a 64-bits (x86-64) gdbarch is created, it is first born as a 32-bits gdbarch in i386_gdbarch_init. The call gdbarch_init_osabi will call the handler register for the selected (arch, osabi) pair, such as amd64_linux_init_abi. The various amd64 handlers call amd64_init_abi, which turns the gdbarch into a 64-bits one. When selecting the i386:x86-64 architecture with no osabi, no such handler is ever called, so the gdbarch stays (wrongfully) a 32-bits one. My first idea was to manually call amd64_init_abi & al in i386_gdbarch_init when the osabi is GDB_OSABI_NONE. However, this doesn't work in a build of GDB where i386 is included as a target but not amd64. My next option (implemented in this patch), is to allow registering handlers for GDB_OSABI_NONE. I added two such handlers in amd64-tdep.c, so now it works the same as for the "normal" osabis. It required re-ordering things in gdbarch_init_osabi to allow running handlers for GDB_OSABI_NONE. Without this patch applied (but with the previous one*) : (gdb) set osabi none (gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64 The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64 (gdb) p sizeof(void*) $1 = 4 and now: (gdb) set osabi none (gdb) set architecture i386:x86-64 The target architecture is assumed to be i386:x86-64 (gdb) p sizeof(void*) $1 = 8 * Before the previous patch, which fixed "set osabi none", this bug was hidden because we didn't actually try to generate a gdbarch for no osabi, it would always fall back on Linux. Generating the gdbarch for amd64/linux did work. gdb/ChangeLog: PR gdb/22979 * amd64-tdep.c (amd64_none_init_abi): New function. (amd64_x32_none_init_abi): New function. (_initialize_amd64_tdep): Register handlers for x86-64 and x64_32 with GDB_OSABI_NONE. * osabi.c (gdbarch_init_osabi): Allow running handlers for the GDB_OSABI_NONE osabi. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: PR gdb/22979 * gdb.arch/amd64-osabi.exp: New file.
