Yao Qi 42d38f42dc Skip gdb.base/relativedebug.exp if libc doesn't have debug info
Hi,
I see the fail in gdb.base/relativedebug.exp on aarch64 box on which
glibc doesn't have debug info,

 bt^M

 (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/relativedebug.exp: pause found in backtrace

if glibc has debug info, this test doesn't fail.

In sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic/pause.c, __libc_pause calls
__syscall_pause,

  static int
  __syscall_pause (void)
  {
    sigset_t set;

    int rc =
      INLINE_SYSCALL (rt_sigprocmask, 4, SIG_BLOCK, NULL, &set, _NSIG / 8);
    if (rc == 0)
      rc = INLINE_SYSCALL (rt_sigsuspend, 2, &set, _NSIG / 8);

    return rc;
  }

  int
  __libc_pause (void)
  {
    if (SINGLE_THREAD_P)
      return __syscall_pause ();     <--- tail call

    int oldtype = LIBC_CANCEL_ASYNC ();

    int result = __syscall_pause ();

    LIBC_CANCEL_RESET (oldtype);

    return result;
  }

and GDB unwinder is confused by the GCC optimized code,

(gdb) disassemble pause
Dump of assembler code for function pause:

   0x0000007fb7f274e8 <+36>:    bl      0x7fb7f5e080

Note that the program stops in __syscall_pause, but its symbol is
stripped in glibc, so GDB doesn't know where the program stops.
__syscall_pause is a tail call in __libc_pause, so it returns to main
instead of __libc_pause.  As a result, the backtrace is like,

 #0  0x0000007fb7ebca88 in raise () from /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
 #1  0x0000007fb7ebfefc in abort () from /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
 #2  0x0000000000400640 in handler (signo=14) at ../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/relativedebug.c:25
 #3  <signal handler called>
 #4  0x0000007fb7f27478 in ?? () from /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6   <-- [in __syscall_pause]
 #5  0x0000000000400664 in main () at ../../../binutils-gdb/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/relativedebug.c:32

looks GDB does nothing wrong here.  I looked back at the test case
gdb.base/relativedebug.exp, which was added
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2006-10/msg00305.html
This test was indented to test the problem that "backtraces no longer
display some libc functions" after separate debug info is installed.
IOW, it makes few sense to test against libc which doesn't have debug
info at all, such as my case.

This patch is to tweak the test case to catch the output of
"info shared", if "(*)" is found for libc.so, which means libc doesn't
have debug info, then skip the test.

gdb/testsuite:

2015-04-30  Yao Qi  <yao.qi@linaro.org>

	* gdb.base/relativedebug.exp: Invoke gdb command
	"info sharedlibrary", and if libc.so doesn't have debug info,
	skip the test.

		   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

COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
