Andrew Burgess 42330a681a gdb/tui: Disassembler scrolling of very small programs
In TUI mode, if the disassembly output for the program is less than
one screen long, then currently if the user scrolls down until on the
last assembly instruction is displayed and then tries to scroll up
using Page-Up, the display doesn't update - they are stuck viewing the
last line.

If the user tries to scroll up using the Up-Arrow, then the display
scrolls normally.

What is happening is on the Page-Up we ask GDB to scroll backward the
same number of lines as the height of the TUI ASM window.  The back
scanner, which looks for a good place to start disassembling, fails to
find a starting address which will provide the requested number of new
lines before we get back to the original starting address (which is
not surprising, our whole program contains less than a screen height
of instructions), as a result the back scanner gives up and returns
the original starting address.

When we scroll with Up-Arrow we only ask the back scanner to find 1
new instruction, which it manages to do, so this scroll works.

The solution here is, when we fail to find enough instructions, to
return the lowest address we did manage to find.  This will ensure we
jump to the lowest possible address in the disassembly output.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	PR tui/9765
	* tui/tui-disasm.c (tui_find_disassembly_address): If we don't
	have enough lines to fill the screen, still return the lowest
	address we found.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	PR tui/9765
	* gdb.tui/tui-layout-asm-short-prog.S: New file.
	* gdb.tui/tui-layout-asm-short-prog.exp: New file.

		   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.
