Here's a brief synopsis/analysis:
Eli Zaretskii, while debugging a Windows emacs executable, found
that functions comprised of more than one (non-contiguous)
address range were not being displayed correctly in a backtrace. This
is the example that Eli provided:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x76a63227 in KERNELBASE!DebugBreak ()
from C:\Windows\syswow64\KernelBase.dll
#1 0x012e7b89 in emacs_abort () at w32fns.c:10768
#2 0x012e1f3b in print_vectorlike.cold () at print.c:1824
#3 0x011d2dec in print_object (obj=<optimized out>, printcharfun=XIL(0),
escapeflag=true) at print.c:2150
The function print_vectorlike consists of two address ranges, one of
which contains "cold" code which is expected to not execute very often.
There is a minimal symbol, print_vectorlike.cold.65, which is the address
of the "cold" range.
GDB is prefering this minsym over the the name provided by the
DWARF info due to some really old code in GDB which handles
"certain pathological cases". This comment reads as follows:
/* In certain pathological cases, the symtabs give the wrong
function (when we are in the first function in a file which
is compiled without debugging symbols, the previous function
is compiled with debugging symbols, and the "foo.o" symbol
that is supposed to tell us where the file with debugging
symbols ends has been truncated by ar because it is longer
than 15 characters). This also occurs if the user uses asm()
to create a function but not stabs for it (in a file compiled
with -g).
So look in the minimal symbol tables as well, and if it comes
up with a larger address for the function use that instead.
I don't think this can ever cause any problems; there
shouldn't be any minimal symbols in the middle of a function;
if this is ever changed many parts of GDB will need to be
changed (and we'll create a find_pc_minimal_function or some
such). */
In an earlier version of this patch, I had left the code for the
pathological case intact, but those who reviwed that patch recommended
removing it. So that's what I've done - I've removed it.

* stack.c (find_frame_funname): Remove code which preferred
minsym over symtab sym in "certain pathological cases".

GDB is not able to execute "step" command on function calls of Armv8-M cmse secure entry functions.
Everytime GNU linker come across definition of any cmse secure entry function in object file(s),
it creates two new instructions secure gateway (sg) and original branch destination (b.w),
place those two instructions in ".gnu.sgstubs" section of executable.
Any function calls to these cmse secure entry functions is re-directed through secure gateway (sg)
present in ".gnu.sgstubs" section.
Example:
Following is a function call to cmse secure entry function "foo":
...
bl xxxx <foo> --->(a)
...
<foo>
xxxx: push {r7, lr}
GNU linker on finding out "foo" is a cmse secure entry function, created sg and b.w instructions and
place them in ".gnu.sgstubs" section (marked by c).
The "bl" instruction (marked by a) which is a call to cmse secure entry function is modified by GNU linker
(as marked by b) and call flow is re-directly through secure gateway (sg) in ".gnu.sgstubs" section.
...
bl yyyy <foo> ---> (b)
...
section .gnu.sgstubs: ---> (c)
yyyy <foo>
yyyy: sg // secure gateway
b.w xxxx <__acle_se_foo> // original_branch_dest
...
0000xxxx <__acle_se_foo>
xxxx: push {r7, lr} ---> (d)
On invoking GDB, when the control is at "b" and we pass "step" command, the pc returns "yyyy"
(sg address) which is a trampoline and which does not exist in source code. So GDB jumps
to next line without jumping to "__acle_se_foo" (marked by d).
The above details are published on the Arm website [1], please refer to section 5.4 (Entry functions)
and section 3.4.4 (C level development flow of secure code).
[1] https://developer.arm.com/architectures/cpu-architecture/m-profile/docs/ecm0359818/latest/armv8-m-security-extensions-requirements-on-development-tools-engineering-specification
This patch fixes above problem by returning target pc "xxxx" to GDB on executing "step"
command at "b", so that the control jumps to "__acle_se_foo" (marked by d).

When SHF_GNU_MBIND was added in the SHF_LOOS to SHF_HIOS range, it
should have required ELFOSABI_GNU since these flags are already in use
by other OSes. HPUX SHF_HP_TLS in fact has the same value. That
means no place in binutils should test SHF_GNU_MBIND without first
checking OSABI, and SHF_GNU_MBIND should not be set without also
setting OSABI. At least, that's the ideal, but the patch accepts
SHF_GNU_MBIND on ELFOSABI_NONE object files since gas didn't always
set OSABI. However, to reinforce the fact that SHF_GNU_MBIND isn't
proper without a non-zero OSABI, readelf will display the flag as
LOOS+0 if OSABI isn't set.
The clash with SHF_HP_TLS means that hppa64-linux either has that flag
on .tbss sections or supports GNU_MBIND, not both. (hppa64-linux
users, if there are any, may have noticed that GNU ld since 2017
mysteriously aligned their .tbss sections to a 4k boundary. That was
one consequence of SHF_HP_TLS being blindly interpreted as
SHF_GNU_MBIND.) Since it seems that binutils, gdb, gcc, glibc, and
the linux kernel don't care about SHF_HP_TLS I took that flag out of
.tbss for hppa64-linux.
