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.
