Tom de Vries 10dadadc5b [gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.arch/amd64-stap-three-arg-disp.S
On SLE-11 I ran into:
...
(gdb) print $_probe_arg0^M
Cannot access memory at address 0x8000003fe05c^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.arch/amd64-stap-special-operands.exp: probe: three_arg: \
  print $_probe_arg0
...

The memory cannot be accessed because the address used to evaluate
$_probe_arg0 at the probe point is incorrect.

The address is calculated using this expression:
...
.asciz "-4@-4(%rbp,%ebx,0)"
...
which uses $ebx, but $ebx is uninitialized at the probe point.

The test-case does contain a "movl $0, %ebx" insn to set $ebx to 0, but that
insn is placed after the probe point.  We could fix this by moving the insn
to before the probe point.  But, $ebx is also a callee-save register, so
normally, if we modify it, we also need to save and restore it, which is
currently not done.  This is currently not harmful, because we don't run the
test-case further than the probe point, but it's bound to cause confusion.

So, fix this instead by using $eax instead in the expression, and moving the
insn setting $eax to 0 to before the probe point.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
